Good method to require EULA acceptance

[BGMaster]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement acceptance of a EULA into my site registration
form. The EULA acceptance is on a separate page from the rest of the
registration form. I'm trying to figure out a way to prevent the user
from accessing the rest of the site without accepting the EULA. Every
path I go down seems to end up being very hackish. Has anyone done a
EULA in a separate view/page from the rest of the site registration?
What method did you use?

Thanks

You could store the Eula as a boolean field on a user profile model and manage it that way.

That's what I have. The problem is that you then have to restrict
access on every page of your site to those who've accepted the EULA.
What I would rather do is create a profile and only allow access to
the EULA acceptance page once the person is registered and until they
accept the EULA. I'm just having a hard time conceptualizing a way to
do this code-wise.

Expanding on Jonathan's suggestion, you could create a simple middleware
function to redirect a user to the EULA page if they haven't accepted it
yet. And you don't need to put the restriction into every view: it's
automatic.

BGMaster, did you ever get this working? I'm encountering the same problem, and can't seem to get the middleware redirects to work properly (doesn't properly submit/constantly redirects).
