Adding terms of use agreement to registration process

I want to make it mandatory to have a new user agree to terms of use policy before being allowed to register on my site. What is the easiest way to do this?

Re: Adding terms of use agreement to registration process

go to USers in Admin menu, enter MAnage Profile Properties, add a boolean field (checkbox) with value default = false and validation = true as required.

Cheers from Germany,

Thanks Sebastian,

Unless I did it wrong, your procedure just adds another field in the user profile section. What I am looking for is a way to add a cheekbox in the default registration page that user user must check, indicating acceptance with the site's Terms of Use before being allowed to register.

Regards,

Oscar

Oscar-
You're correct that Sebastian's suggestion added another field in the PROFILE section. To have this new field show up as a required item during user regsitration, do the following:

Look under ROLES->USER SETTINGS and set the following two options to "checked":

Require a valid Profile for Registration
Require a valid Profile for Login

Re: Adding terms of use agreement to registration process

Thanks mamlin. that did the trick. Now for the last piece, how do I edit the default text at the beginning of the user registration module that goes

"User Registration

*note: Membership..."
