<!--StartFragment --> To edit the Privacy and Terms:

1) Go to: Host / Languages
2) Click on Language Editor
3) You will be presented with a list of templates you can edit
4) Scroll down, select
5) MESSAGE_PORTAL_PRIVACY.Text
6) MESSAGE_PORTAL_TERMS.Text
7) If you click on the arrow to the right hand side of the text box, it will open up the Text Editor so that you can make any alterations necessary.

I am running v5.0 and can't seem to locate the MESSAGE_PORTAL_PRIVACY.text and MESSAGE_PORTAL_TERMS.text file in the language editor.

In DNN5 the language editor has moved, go to:

Admin menu / extensions

In the extensions name column, look for default language

Click on the pencil icon next to default language

Click on the 'edit language files' link

This takes you to the language editor page and the privacy and terms sections are on this page.

To quickly find them, press ctrl+F, enter 'privacy'

Thanks,

I followed this path to edit the terms and Privacy areas and now I have the entire text listed twice.  First what I entered and the default test as well.  How do I get rid of the default text.  I am running dnn 2.02.02 community edition.

Are you really running 2.02.02?

Could you provide a URL for the site?

Sorry.  I am running 5.02.02.  Here is the url.  http://mailhandling.com.dnnmax.com/Home.aspx

Is it possible that you've somehow added a second copy of the module to each of the pages?

Do determine that, look at the pages in Edit mode.  Do you see two modules?  If you do, delete the one that you don't want.

No.  Please note the screen shot of admin>languages area which does show 2 editing areas.  Each of them include the corrected message I require, yet when viewing my privacy page, there are 2 different messages.  Here is the url.  http://mailhandling.com.dnnmax.com/Privacy.aspx

That is the normal appearance of the Language Editor page.  The editing box is on the left.  The right display is the default value for the text.

In Admin>languages>Local Resources I do see Prviacy.ascx under Portal>Local Resources and under Skins>LocalResources.  Same thing with Terms.ascx.  Could that be where the duplication is coming from?  See print screen

No.  You need to look at the Privacy.aspx page itself, and see where the second instance is coming from.  Could you look at that page in Edit mode and see if there are multiple modules?

http://mailhandling.com.dnnmax.com/Privacy.aspx In edit mode there appears to be only 1 module.  The dropdown list offers only 1 option........ View Source.

OK........... Here is what I did.
Created my own Privacy and Terms pages, made links to them in my custom footer section, edited the skin.css file to make the copyright statement centered and set the original privacy and terms tokens to display: none; Here is the result.

Clicking the Privacy link gives:

A critical error has occurred.
You have been redirected to this default Login Page because the Login Page set for this website does not contain a valid DotNetNuke Account Login module, or the permissions have not been set correctly.

You have some permissions and login module issues.

Thank you.  I made the needed adjustments on all counts.
I was using a Coding Staff module for login and now replaced it with the default module.  Also checked the viewing permissions for my new Privacy and Terms pages.

I was having trouble with the Terms of Use in the footer, and so I deleted the module, thinking that I could re-add it, but now I see it is not so easy. I would like to add the default Terms of Use back onto the website. I am running version 7.00.05.

I’ve looked in AdminLanguages and cannot find anything referring to Terms of Use.

I’ve looked in AdminExtensions and found a Languages module, but again I cannot find anything referring to Terms of Use.

Terms and Privacy are not modules, but are Skin Objects.

When you say you delete the module, what did you delete?

If you actually deleted a module, look in Admin, Recycle Bin to restore it.

Is it possible that your site was using an HTML module with custom language for Terms? Then you should be looking in the Recycle Bin.

Hi Joseph,

Sorry, I thought I would have received an email when a message was posted and didn't notice your response until just now.

The Terms of Use used to appear at the bottom of the home page. I deleted it (or rather the module it was in?), thinking that I could simply add it back on. However, I can't figure out how to add or recover it. I've checked the Recycle bin and cannot find anything there.

If it is a skin object, I will contact the third-party developer and hopefully resolve the situation that way.

Thank you for your help.

Leanne

Yes, Terms and Privacy are Skin Objects.

But, it seems like you had a module linked to a Terms hyperlink. If you deleted a module, it should be in the Recycle Bin. If it isn't, something else is going on.
