GDPR Checkbox

    Firstly your plugin is great so thanks for all your hard work.

    I have added a couple of acceptance fields at the bottom of my clients form for ‘Agree to the Privacy Policy’ and then ‘Sign up for news etc’. The problem is that currently the default is set to ‘no’ to comply with GDPR but ideally I need to set the Privacy Policy a a checkbox or dropdown for them to actually accept.

    I am very experienced with WordPress but not with coding for EME. I can understand the basics so can someone supply the actual line of code and instructions for adding this to the RSVP: form format page?

    Either for a required checkbox or a dropdown with the options of ‘Please select, I accept, I do not accept’.

    Many thanks,

    Cindy

    Just change your dropdown to a checkbox-type. And set it to required. Then the form will not submit if they don’t agree.

    Thank you, I understand the basic thinking but cannot see any mention of the code needed for a checkbox or dropdown.

    Sorry for the idiotic question but can you give me the actual code that I need for a required checkbox instead of the OPT_In that I have below?

    <tr><td>I Agree to the BSPUK Privacy Policy and the BSPUK Terms and Conditions:</td></tr>
    <tr><td>#_OPT_IN</td></tr>

    Thank you, I have looked at this about 5 times now and still cannot see any mention of code for a checkbox?

    Have you even tried to create a custom field? When you create one, you can just select the type …

    Excuse me be butting in, but perhaps I can help.
    You will have created, using the submenu Events Made Easy | Form fields, a custom Form field of the desired type (checkbox or dropdown, etc.) That custom field has a field name that you assign. You can access the field in your templates using these placeholders, as described on the documentation page indicated in a previous message:

    #_FIELD{xx} (***) displays custom made fields (replace xx by the ID or the name of a field you created in the “Events => Form fields” page.
    #_FIELDNAME{xx} (***) displays the title/name of the custom made fields (replace xx or the name by the ID of a field you created in the “Events => Form fields” page.

    I hope this is of use.
