Hey!

Is there a way I can get the TOS to autfill the `company_short_name` and `company_domain`?

Thanks.

Not at this time, I suggest a search and replace operation in the editor of your choice.

We can make it a feature request for the future.

I use this to edit the ToS document as it does not mess up the formatting like my text editor did.

I must have missed that, I needed to do it manually, is there anything else the wizard can help me with? If so where is it? 🙂

No, it won’t help you unless you are setting up a new site for the first time.

I have a site in which I have only just realised my default terms of service include ‘company\_short\_name’ throughout. A way to bake in the company\_short\_name would be pretty handy. Embedding a placeholder for company\_short\_name would be really handy if the template text was otherwise altered. It would make changing the name a painless process.

For my immediate case, I will find and replace in a text editor if this is the current advice.

Yes, the wizard change helps all new sites, but we have a bit of a history problem here.
