Removing the COPPA agreement for non-US forums.
Files To Be Edited:
- ./language/lang_xxx/lang_main.php *
- ./templates/xxx/agreement.tpl **
* Where xxx is your language, eg: lang_english
** Where xxx is your template name, eg: subSilver
Note: Backup all files that you will be editing before continuing.
Open up lang_main.php, and find this code:
| Code: | | $lang['Agree_over_13'] |
Now, in that line, find and delete the following text:
| Code: | | and am <b>over</b> or <b>exactly</b> 13 years of age |
Note: Ensure that two single quotes ['] and the semi-colon [;] do not get deleted.
Save and close lang_main.php, navigate to and open up agreement.tpl. Find the following code, and delete it:
| Code: | | <br /><a href="{U_AGREE_UNDER13}" class="genmed">{AGREE_UNDER_13}</a><br /> |
Save and close agreement.tpl. You can now re-upload those 2 files to the appropriate directories (as stated above) via FTP, overwriting the current files that are in your FTP directory.
If you wish to edit any other aspects of the Agreement, eg: The agreement terms themselves, or altering the age, see Erisar's tutorial here |
