Joomla PrivacyCheckbox Extension

# PrivacyCheckbox Plugin

This Joomla plugin lets you create new fields of type 'privacycheckbox' in any extensions where custom fields are supported.

Feature

This plugin allows you to creates a single checkbox field in any form that supports custom fields e.g. in the contact form where you can make sure the privacy message is checked. But this also allow any other single checkbox usecase. Over the core plugin this allows to use a `` tag inside of the message to be shown to the user. Any other html tag is going to be removed.

Option descriptions

## Checkbox Note

This is the message showed next to the checkbox containing your message about privacy.

## Email Text

This is the message included in the email send to the user next to the custom field. Per default it is just `checked`.

Implement multilanguage

This field support two different ways to be translated into different languages.

## Using a language string

For the checkbox note you can add any string you want and override them with the desired text foreach language.

For example for the `Checkbox Note` text:
- Enter the self defined Language Constant `PLG_FIELDS_PRIVACYCHECKBOX_CUSTOM_CONTENT` (it works with any string)
- Go to the Language Overrider: Extensions -> Language(s) -> Overrides.
- Select your desired target language
- Create the Language Constant by using `New`
- The field `Language Constant` contain the constant we set in the plugin settings
- The field `Text` contain the override per language.
- `Save & Close`
- Select the next language and so on.

The plugin read the translation from the overrides and fallback to the en-GB value.

## Using the language assignment field

As this plugin is a fields plugin you can assign a language to the field. So in case of multilanguage you can create a field that is assigned to de-DE and another one that is assigned to en-GB with the desired texts configured in the plugin.

Global Plugin Options

All field plugins have the possibility to be configured with global default options.

To configure this please go to the Plugin Configuration:
- Extensions -> Plugins
- Use the search tools to filter for `Type` == `fields`
- You will find the `Fields - Privacy Checkbox` plugin
- Edit the plugin

There you find both the `Checkbox Note` and the `Email Text` field to be configured globally.
