["Peter Dimitrios (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-518?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13204007#comment-13204007 ] 

Peter Dimitrios commented on VCL-518:
-------------------------------------

A little documentation and design rationale:

  When the $ReservationClickthruRequired indicator is set, and the $ReservationClickthruRequiredString is found in either the image description or usage-notes fields, the end-user is presented with a click-through agreement when making a normal reservation.   The text from the image name, description, and usage-notes fields of an image profile are included in the license text that is displayed to the user and logged in the "clickThroughs" table in the database.  The text in the VCL conf.php file is just a template, providing the HTML formatting and other disclaimers that may be common for such agreements; the image-specific text is inserted into the template to make the final agreement.   If image agreements are truly different, one could make a very spare template, and put most of the text into the image profile fields. For default values, we just made a statement similar to the one used for VCL image creation, which seemed to be a reasonable starting point into which image builders can add their unique text.

If the HTML formatting of the text inserts needs to be changed, function formatImageNotesForClickthruAgreement() in requests.php can bechanged.  Having a decent "template" that supplies some boilerplate language is a good median, it provides some structure to allow the image-builder to add their specific terms and conditions, but allows the VCL administrator to make sure some standard disclaimers are always included.

> We would like to be able to add a click-through agreement for when a user checks out an image. This is to force users to agree to certain terms of use based on software licensing. This message should be able to be customized to fit the needs of the software license. It would also be useful to capture the users acceptance in the database.
