Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.2	Perl version:	5.8.1
Category:	JSPopupPlugin	Server OS:	RedHat	Last update:	13 years ago

Hi,

I have new requirement to popup a message (basically an agreement) when a user first time accessing the twiki site. Based on his click the page should redirect to relevant page. If a user clicks yes, the actual page should open else user has to be logged out from the session. This has to be repeatedly come for a user who clicks on No button whenver accessing the site.

Let me know if it is easy to achievable. Kindly provide best solutions.

Regards, Srinivas

Discussion and Answer

I haven't tried it but I believe you could play with this plugin http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/JSPopupPlugin. Make the content to be the message, and include a "No" link to be the logout link (you can just copy it from the actual logout link on your site).

The "Yes" button may be trickier. You could build a form that saves a field in the user topic profile using the save script and redirects to the topic. Using this field on the user profile topic you can check if the user have already clicked on yes before.

Its achievable but maybe not easy if you are not familiar using fields, forms and the scrips of TWiki (scripts are in http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/TWikiScripts).

Couldn't you simply modify the login topic to include your terms with the comment that providing your username and password implies agreement?
