leadthepack Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I’m creating a website for a local brewery and need to figure out how to add an age verification request that pops up when visitors come to the site for the first time. Just needs to be basic and ask “Are you 21?” If “Yes,” let them into the site, if “No,” send somewhere else. I searched and found a bunch of JavaScript options, but I can’t figure out how to implement it, since Squarespace 6 file modification & storage is limited. Thanks in advance! Link to comment
raptor2skooled Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Perhaps you might want to check out IDology's, ExpectID Age product that will help keep compliance while quickly confirming someones age accurately. On the other hand the code below will do the most basic aspect if put on the main landing pages. <?php session_start(); if ($_REQUEST["over21"] == 1) { $_SESSION["over21"] = 1; header("Location: " . $_REQUEST["redirect"]); } ?> <html> <head> <title>Verify Your Age</title> </head> <body> <a href="verify.php?over18=1& redirect=<?=$redirect?>">I am over 21</a> | <a href="http://www.google.com/">I am not over 21</a> </body> </html> Link to comment
leadthepack Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Thanks, @raptor2skooled. I was able to make a code hodgepodge that seems to work okay (even though I think the cookie expires much sooner than it should. Link to comment
jackierubbo Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 @leadthepack do you have the code you can pass along? Link to comment
cotupha Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I just faced this problem myself (although I needed a verification page, not a pop-up). I couldn't find a solution that satisfied my requirements. I now this post is more than 6 months old, buy I'm leaving my answer in case anyone else needs it. You can get my code at https://github.com/cotupha/octli It has the javascript necessary, as well as other files that serve as example demonstraiting how to use the javascript. It is explained how to do it without activating developer mode (which was a requirement of my client). Link to comment
lunnson Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Would it be possible to explain how this can be done? Link to comment
Guest Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 @cotupha thank for sharing, I'm having difficulties implementing your code on squarespace platform, is it possible for you to explain the steps in to implement. Any help greatly appreciated! Link to comment
neeklamy Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 cotupha has placed the instructions in the GitHub repository: Squarespace Installation The name is an Anglicised form of the Greek Korvetti — I like to think there’s a little bit of the ancient Hellenic drive in me. Link to comment
Guest Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 @cotupha (or anyone else) Would you be able to help me get this set up? I'm a bit confused on a couple of the steps. I'd be willing to pay you for your time. Link to comment
Guest Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 "... It is explained how to do it without activating developer mode (which was a requirement of my client)..." For those confused, it took me a minute of confusion as well, but according to Cotupha's instructions you would still have to set up the age verification code outside of squarespace. The first two steps wouldn't be possible with squarespace hosting as-is (non developer mode). As it stands – I don't see any solution on the boards for an age verification that isn't just a cover page. Link to comment
