Legal notice (GE: "Impressum") and Terms of Use in the footer

[alexgu2008]

Hi,

for our institution, we need to display a legal notice and the terms of use somewhere on the page. We have now achieved this by manually adding them to the footer.html file. Is there a way to add this so that it can be controlled from the SysAdmin panel? like with the privacy policy?

Hello,

Why not use the privacy policy to link to or include the terms of use?

This was also my first thought, but our legal department informed me that these documents must appear as separate and clearly identifiable items. This is what our solution currently looks like:

I have the same problem - to have the eLabFTW instance open to the web, according to the legal department, the exact wording "Impressum" is required. Wikipedia have some info about it.
Can it be added to a next version of the eLabFTW (similar to the other three documents?)

Hello @ROvsyanikov,

Thank you for linking to the wikipedia page, it's quite interesting.

I'm guessing a fourth entry should be added, its name could be custom, so it could be used as "Impressum" or another custom content. I'll work on it for the next release.

@NicolasCARPi - sounds great! I think the idea of having free field/custom name is the best. I would even extend the possibility to edit/set the title for the other 3 options.

Yeah, it wouldn't hurt (and would probably simplify the code, it's always better when things are all the same).

I have a similar problem when deploying this at our university - we also need an "Impressum" link in the footer.
Furthermore, I also need specific (legally mandated) wording for the other policies in the footer - the current (german) translations do not work.
I would therefore like to second the suggestion of being able to customize the policy titles as opposed to fixing them (and not using the ones provided by translations).

@tkw1536 noted. This issue will be worked on before next version release, as german entities compose a large part of the userbase ;)
