I recently sent the following to Support. "Some time ago, i asked for a way to include a mandatory field for event entrants to agree to terms before being able to proceed, as in most other websites. I see there has now been a category added for that in entry types. There is however a problem with this. If you add a link to a page to open with the details, it takes you out of WA to your browser, and no way to accept the conditions then have it reurn you straight back the entry area you were in, to continue.
Is there a simplified way to bring you straight back to your previous position, if not can you please correct this programming error. In these days of increased litigation, this area is greatly needed. In your recent webinar you talk about streamlineing the entry system to encourage more entries. This is one way that will and avoid having to send and collect physical printed forms from entrants.
Thank you Denis Weisz, MotorSport Director BMW Club Qld"
I received a reply from Sameer confirming this is currently the only way this works.
I replied,
Hi Sameer,
So what you are saying, at this stage, there is still no way to go back to the entry form the person was on. I raised this once before and at that stage there wasn’t any way to even add the terms and conditions.
One only has to use virtually any online form and you are asked to agree to terms and conditions of use before proceeding now days, then returned to the form to continue.
I find this a major fault with WA currently and would suggest fixing this, and bringing WA up to date, should be given the utmost priority.
There is also another issue, when adding in a link to a terms and conditions statement, there is no way to link to a file held in WA file store like used for Event Details or emails. You have to link it to an external file eg Google Docs. you need to be able to access your file store in WA to add it. I guess that would also work better in returning you to the entry page to continue your entry, keeping you in WA and not out in your browser.
