About

Before users add media to your site, you might want them to agree to your terms. The Disclaimer module lets you require users to review and accept a Terms of Agreement disclaimer before uploading or publishing content.

Configure

1. Go to your Configuration Management console, locate the Disclaimer module in the left panel, then select it. You can also navigate directly using a link: https://{your_site_url}/admin/config/tab/disclaimer

The Disclaimer page displays.

2. Configure the following:

• enabled - Set to Yes to enable the module.
• disclaimerProfileId - Enter the custom data profile ID for the disclaimer.
• disclaimerField - Specify the custom data field that must be checked when uploading or publishing media.
• disclaimerText - Enter the text that explains the purpose of the disclaimer checkbox.

  You can use BB code to format your disclaimer text. Select the link provided in the module for the full list of supported tags, or use the examples in the BB code tags section below.

• agreeText - Enter the text displayed next to the checkbox, indicating the user agrees to the terms. This field applies only if Theming isn't enabled on your site. It also doesn't apply in the KMSGo mobile app.
• displayArea - Set where the disclaimer appears.

  

  Choose from the following options:

  • Before Upload - The disclaimer appears before users can upload content. After users accept it, the upload options become available. If Theming isn't enabled on your site, users accept with a checkbox, and they can't clear it afterward. If Theming is enabled on your site, the disclaimerText appears at the top of the upload page, with an Accept terms & conditions button in place of the checkbox. If Theming is enabled on your site, the disclaimer also appears before users import media from YouTube or from a URL.

    With Before Upload, the disclaimer doesn't appear for these entry types:

    • Express Capture
    • Wochit Video
    • Interactive Video Paths
    • Video Quiz
  • Before Publish - The disclaimer appears on the upload and edit media pages as part of the metadata. (If Theming is enabled on your site, it doesn't appear on these pages.) Depending on the agreeRequired setting (see below), users may be required to acknowledge the disclaimer before publishing. After users accept the disclaimer, the checkbox becomes read-only and can't be cleared.
• agreeRequired - Relevant only when displayArea is set to Before Publish.
  • Yes – Users must select the disclaimer checkbox before the media can be published. If Theming is enabled on your site, users can't publish media, because the disclaimer doesn't appear.
  • No – The disclaimer text appears, but no checkbox is shown and no user acknowledgment is required.

3. Select Save.

BB code tags

BB code is a simplified version of HTML that lets you format your messages without affecting page layout. Here’s a list of basic BB code tags you can use to format your text:
