check box for terms and conditions

Is there a smart way or example for listing terms and conditions and ensuring that they have been read?

I'm a relative noob to RonR and I'd like to find a good way to do this? I don't want to store anything in the db, so I just need validation, how best to do this?

Thanks

No, there never was and (within reason) never will be. There is, however, a way to ensure that the checkbox *saying* they have read it and agree to it, is checked. :slight_smile: See

http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveRecord/Validations/ClassMethods.html#M001396

for the validates_acceptance_of method on ActiveRecord. It "Encapsulates the pattern of wanting to validate the acceptance of a terms of service check box (or similar agreement)."
