Privacy Policy acceptance at registration

Post by tempuser »

Hello,

I noticed that users are able to register without clicking the accept privacy policy checkbox, although the setting of 'Privacy Policy MUST be accepted' is set to true. I confirmed this from the 'privacy_policy' column database in the temp users table, the value is '0' for some users in this table.

What is the fix of this bug?

Thanks.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce what you describe on a Forma 1.4 and on a Forma 2.0. In both cases, if you don't accept the privacy policy, you are correctly shown an alert (you must accept the privacy policy) and you are NOT registered.

Ok Max, I also tested it upfront and was fine, but I don't know how registrants were entered in the database with '0' value in the 'privacy_policy' column? that's why I assumed it somehow doesn't work appropriately for some people, or otherwise how did this happen?

I don't know about the db, but since the functionality works correctly I am moving this thread to a different forum.

The field value is set by setAcceptingPolicy function in /appLms/models/PrecompileLms.php

I think that some users was able to skip the acceptance of the privacy polices .
There are some not ordinary navigation path that can produce this behavior . It's a know bug (hard to reproduce)

We are working to fix the problem in the 2.0 release . We are also working for enanchements of the privacy policies feature

Ok Canelli, thanks for confirming that it's a known bug.

Can you please share with me the fix so that I implement it on the code?

the fix will be included in version 2.0

In general we don't produce a backport of fixes . After the release of 2.0, we wil check if the fix can be applied in the current 1.4

As a workaround for the current version, it's better to keep this checkbox checked by default. I modified these lines in lib.usermanager.php:

if($options['privacy_policy'] == 'on') {
$out .= Form::getCheckbox($lang->def('_REG_PRIVACY_ACCEPT'), 'register_privacy', 'register[privacy]',
'ok', true/*isset($_POST['register']['privacy'])*/);
}
