compact access to the »Legal Regulations« for users

1 Initial Problem

More and more information is being collected in the footer. This makes it a) cluttered and leads to large amounts of space on mobile views. Several of these entries deal with legal regulations. (See marking with »» )

• Permanent Link 
• powered by ILIAS (vX.Y)
• »» Legal Notice
• Contact Technical Support
• Translation
• »» Accessibility
• Report Accessibility Issue
• »» Terms of Service
• »» Declaration of Data Protection (new entry)

possible worst case: Permanent Link • Legal Notice • Contact Technical Support • Translation  • Accessibility  • Report Accessibility Issue • Terms of Service • Declaration of Data Protection • powered by ILIAS (vX.Y) 

2 Conceptual Summary

Therefore, we would like to create a common location for legal regulations.

These are to be united: "Terms of Service", "Declaration of Data Protection" and "Accessibility Information"

For the Legal Notice, this is not possible due to the legal requirements - it must be reachable directly (one click) from every page. (See Telemediengesetz §5 and e.g. other legal notices.

That depends on how we deal with the diversity of how the documents are handled.

It is a kind of remix of existing KitchenSink elements.

9 Discussion

Killing, Alexander [alex], 30 Jan 2023: I support the idea and also strongly suggest to consolidate the different implementations under one joint service for legal documents, getting rid of redundant code and streamlining the functionality.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 06 MAR 2023: We prefer not to have a separate modal where all existing legal documents are displayed as links and opened as suggested by this FR. We prefer to improve the presentation of the footer of ILIAS and to allow to stack links horizontally as known from other websites (e.g. www.ilias.de). This will allow to call one the available documents straight from the footer, incl. the legal notice (which has to be available with one click). A workshop for a 'Footer Improvement' is organised by Fabian Schmid.

10 Implementation

{ The maintainer has to give a description of the final implementation and add screenshots if possible. }
