How to Edit the Privacy Statement on Your DotNetNuke Site
You will eventually find the need to edit your DotNetNuke privacy statement. Whether it is to add statements for COPPA compliance, DART cookies, third party vendors , or a number of other situations, the default statement just does not include everything you need.
The first time I decided to edit this statement, finding it was no small task. Therefore, I thought I would lay out an easy to follow tutorial which, hopefully will be useful to you, and one which I can refer back on the next time I need to edit my own. This example is from DotNetNuke version 6.2.1, but the procedure is not so different in other versions.
The Terms of Use statement is stored in Global Resources for the site. The easiest way to edit these resources is to login as an administrator and navigate to the “admin” panel. Once there, select the “Languages” icon.
Click the “Manage” button near the “Language Management” text. Click “Settings”. Scroll down, if necessary and you will see a localized content section which will list the languages installed for the site. In the “Static Resources” section to the right, find the column labeled “site” and click the “edit” icon
The “Language Editor” screen opens. In the top left corner, you will see a treeview with “Local Resources” and “Global Resources”. Verify that the “Select Mode” radio button is set to “Site”. Open “Global Resources”, and select “Global Resources” again in the dropdown.
Scroll down the list until you find “ResourceName:MESSAGE_PORTAL_PRIVACY.text”.
Click the “edit” icon.
An editor window will open with the contents of your “Privacy” statement for the website. Edit as you desire then save it.
One further note, using the variable [Portal:PortalName] in your statement will insert the name of your portal into the displayed text. [Portal:Email] will insert the default email address of the portal.
Task complete !
