Link to ToS in Attribute

@gellert.gyuris my solution is to manually modify the code of my phplist installs :confused:

public_html/lists/admin/attributes.php

Edit the file public_html/lists/admin/attributes.php by removing the strip_tags() function from three distinct places:

  1. the code that populates the value="" tag of the input on the page load
  2. the code that UPDATEs existing attributes in the DB
  3. the code that INSERTs new attributes in the DB

More specifically, here’s a diff of the original file and my updated version:

<                     $tables['attribute'], sql_escape(strip_tags($_POST['name'][0])), sql_escape($_POST['type'][0]),
---
>                     $tables['attribute'], sql_escape($_POST['name'][0]), sql_escape($_POST['type'][0]),
162c162
<                     $tables['attribute'], sql_escape(strip_tags($_POST['name'][$id])), sql_escape($_POST['type'][$id]),
---
>                     $tables['attribute'], sql_escape($_POST['name'][$id]), sql_escape($_POST['type'][$id]),
375c375
<   <input type="text" name="name[' .$row['id'].']" value="'.htmlspecialchars(stripslashes(strip_tags($row['name']))).'" size="40" />';
---
>   <input type="text" name="name[' .$row['id'].']" value="'.htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($row['name'])).'" size="40" />';

After this change, you should be able to set the “Name” of the attribute to include an html <a href="..."> anchor tag that links to your ToS.

I’ve done this on three distinct phpList installs. Note how they all have a checkbox for “I agree to the XYZ Privacy Policy” – where the “Privacy Policy” bit is a hyperlink to the actual privacy policy:
