Disclaimer section on the "about" page

cpradio · February 21, 2015, 12:28am

Only if the use_real_names setting is set

downey · February 21, 2015, 12:31am

Yes, precisely.

People form expectations that links to such pages are at the bottom of the page, so that’s where they look for them.

Fundamental rule of usability: Put your information where people expect it to be.

I had thought about suggesting adding the about page to topnav for faq etc pages - that would be really helpful.

Yes, please! Here’s that request:

Thank you @techAPJ & @codinghorror

Small notice:
If I stay on about page the translation of the nav items are correct. But if I jump to one of the other pages, the about page item is in English.

techAPJ · February 23, 2015, 5:57pm

That’s because the /about page is rendered client side, while other pages are rendered server side. So I added a new server side translation for “About” string, that needs to be translated on Transifex.

Just for others (like me…) who are searching Meta for something similar, here are some keywords:

“Disclaimer” is the English word for the German word “Haftungsausschluss”.
What I’m looking for is “Impressum” which is German for the English words “Legal Note” or “Imprint”.

I love the idea of having an editable “About” page where I could enter additional Legal Note information.

Mittineague · March 19, 2015, 4:16pm

Would something like an
{{plugin-outlet "about-stats-bottom"}}
*Note - I’m unclear about naming conventions
work for you?

AFAIK @sam is willing to add these

sam · March 19, 2015, 11:57pm

yeah an outlet there is fine.

Krischan · October 20, 2015, 8:02am

Hi Sam,

is it possible to include this outlet? I couldn’t find it there.

Thanks!

Krischan · October 30, 2015, 4:55pm

Could anyone help me to sneak in additional text / html on the about-page? As mentioned above the current page is not compliant with German law and there are currently a lot of rogue lawyers who make loads money with cease-and-desist warnings. Any hack welcome! Thanks so much.

Krischan · November 3, 2015, 9:18pm

If someone else has this topic: I used CSS to sneak an imprint in.

 .contents .about p:before {
        content: "Impressum text blabla";
    }

carrabelloy · May 16, 2023, 2:23pm

Ich würde gerne das finden, damit ich dem Hinzufügen kann.
Wird der per Link gesetzt? Der dann zum Beispiel auf eine wp verweist.
Oder wie und wo finde ich das. Sehr tolles Innenleben. Da werden noch etliche fragen kommen .
Da ich die benötige. Vielleicht kannst du mit mir dich darüber mal austauschen

carrabelloy · May 16, 2023, 2:27pm

Wo finde ich das bitte? Da ich das benötige und wüsste zu gerne, ob das über einen Link gemacht wird, der auf eine wp oder sonstiges verweist

Canapin · May 16, 2023, 2:39pm

Hey @carrabelloy,
I’m not really sure what you are asking about, and old topics may contain outdated information.

If the purpose is to add a disclaimer page directly available from the home page of your forum, there are several ways to do that.

Using a custom sidebar section Custom sidebar sections being tested on meta
Adding a link to the navigation menu: Custom Top Navigation Links
Adding a link in the header: Custom Header Links or Custom Header Links (icons)
Customize your theme or create a component to which you can add text and/or links in the Head section

If you want to edit the pages FAQ, Terms of Service and Privacy, their associated topic is located in the Staff category.

If it doesn’t answer your questions, can you be more specific on what you are trying to achieve?

carrabelloy · May 16, 2023, 4:05pm

her @Canapin Yes, I need that, because I touch a hot iron and that must be legally compliant.

Also that with the logging that it is users from 18, is quite important to me.

Now I was wondering if I can use this from my Mastodon as a link https://darknight-coffee-cannabis.club/about. or

Darknight-Coffee-Cannabisgarten everything on my wp block Herzlich willkommen beim Darknight-Coffee.Cannabis-Club – unser darknight-coffee-cannabis.space informiert
I thank you or you for all the information. May I contact you or you more often? My English is really brittle. Please excuse that. But maybe we can still exchange information. I would be glad.

Ja, das benötige ich, da ich ein heißes Eisen anfasse und das muss rechtskonform sein.

Auch das mit dem Loging das es User ab 18 sind, ist mir ganz wichtig.

Jetzt habe ich mich gefragt, ob ich das von meinem Mastodon als Link About - Darknight-Coffee.Cannabis-Club! nutzen kann. oder

Darknight-Coffee-Cannabisgarten alles auf meinem wp Block Herzlich willkommen beim Darknight-Coffee.Cannabis-Club – unser darknight-coffee-cannabis.space informiert
Ich danke dir oder Ihnen für die ganzen Informationen. Dar ich dich oder Sie öfters ansprechen? Mein Englisch ist echt krüze. Bitte das zu entschuldigen. Doch vielleicht können wir uns trotzdem austauschen. Ich würde mich Freuen.

Nein, ich weiß nicht, ob ich eine Deutsche Fassung dazu genauso bekomme. Die sollten mal eine Spenden-Uhr aufhängen, doch darauf komme ich noch mal später, ich mag Open-Source. Und ich danke Ihnen genauso für das Feedback dazu @gerhard
