Terms of Service Shows, but Text Doesn’t In Backend

OK, I’ve been talking to James about this via email and now that I know where the Terms of Service plugin is storing it’s info at, (wp_sitemeta table, ‘signup_tos field), it looks like it is being stored/changed in the database, but should I be expecting the previous text I entered to show up when I view the TOS page again (for editing purposes)? Just like when you create a blog entry and you come back to edit your post you expect the previous text to be there for you to edit I’m kind of expecting the previous text I entered to be there too, but I’m not seeing anything, which is a bit offsetting.

Thank you for any assistance, I’m going to take a further look into it now that I know where the information is stored.

    OK, for those of you wondering why after typing in your Terms of Service in the Admin area what you just typed in doesn’t show up (even though it is entered correctly in the database) look no further:

    Just open up signup_tos.php, go to line 104 and replace:

    Code:
    <?php echo get_site_option(‘signup_tos_data’:wink: ?>

    with

    Code:
    <?php echo get_site_option(‘signup_tos’:wink: ?>

    The proble is that WP is trying to find the signup_tos_data field in the wp_sitemeta table but it doesn’t exist so nothing is returned. However, the signup_tos field does exist and does contain our data so the correct info will be echoed back to the screen.

    Haha…that content monitoring plugin is pretty important though, I’ve applied the fix described by you in the thread (essentially just commenting out that line) while I’ve continued to play here and haven’t received any additional notifications…though I haven’t received any real notifications either when trying out some of the monitored words :slight_frown:.

      *sniff* *sniff* He missed my fix for the content monitoring plugin. *sniff* Worked my fingers to the bone. *sniff* At least Andrea promised me brownies. *sniff*

      He must like you more. :slight_smile:

    Nah, I just missed it. We’re going to be revamping both WPMUDEV and WPMUDEV Premium in a couple of months and I’m aiming to build in some kind of ticket system.

    Btw, I’ll be getting to your other issue in a bit. I’ve got a ton of client stuff to go through this morning.

    Thanks,

    Andrew

    Hey drmike, would you mind replying to a question I posted in the embedding videos forum por favor (I wanted to know how to use the plugin you mentioned to enter in uploaded flash videos, since the instructions in the plugin didn’t specify those instructions specifically)?

    I’ve discovered a second issue related to the disabled=”disabled” portion for the textarea…it should be readonly=”readonly” instead just because in Internet Explorer you cannot scroll down to read the entire Terms of Service (in Firefox you can scroll down and read the entire thing though).
