Hi,
The present behavior of clicking on "I agree to the terms of service and privacy policy" is to put a tick in the agreement box. 
The problem is that as such, it doesn't help the end user to find the pages for the said terms of service or privacy policy.
Is there a way to insert a link to either one of those pages, which is usually the expected behavior?
Something like this: "I agree to the terms of service and privacy policy"
I tried to use language overrides with embedded links, but the href tag shows up as text instead of a proper link.
Is there another way to implement this?
Thank you !!

Hi Pierrick,

Good question — you’re absolutely right, the expected behavior is for Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to be clickable.

At the moment, HTML is intentionally escaped in language strings, which is why links added via language overrides are rendered as plain text.

That said, we’ve already updated the code and starting from the next CommentBox update, HTML markup will be allowed for the terms checkbox label. This will let you define proper links directly in your language override, for example:

COM_COMMENTBOX_TERMS_LABEL="I agree to the terms of service and privacy policy"

Once the update is released, this will work as expected without any additional customization.

If you enjoy using CommentBox, we’d really appreciate a review on the Joomla Extensions Directory:

Thanks for the great feedback — it directly helped improve the extension.

Best regards,
Lefteris
