  The upgrade to .760 forced me to revisit the often overlooked legal module and precipitated this suggestion based upon my own personal experience.
  
  Different sites have different needs and could benefit with greater flexibility to meet those needs. Perhaps it's different terms for different member. Perhaps a subsciption agreement or an antispam policy. Perhaps return/refund policies for purchases. Perhaps forum rules and policy. The list goes on.
  
  PostNuke isn't a one-trick pony and its legal module should be as flexible as the CMS. It should not be thought of as just a legal module but one for posting notices, policies, and site rules. As such, it shouldn't call for hacking the module to add documents beyond those which come with the CMS as default.

  The .760 version is an improvement over prior versions but you're somewhat misrepresenting what it actually can do.
  
  Yes, you can modify the generic terms of use, privacy and accessibility documents by tweaking the templates but you cannot add additional document without hacking.
  
  While you're description of the module is not accurate, the vision you elicit is more in line with what I have in mind. It would be nice if all you had to do to add a new doc was add templates and language files.
  
  It would also be a nice touch if you could "hook" your documents with relevant modules (i.e. forum rules with a forum module, subscription agreement with a registration module, etc.). Now, that's the kind of flexibility I'd like to see. :)

  Great suggestion!

  Is there any point? With the inclusion of Pagesetter in .8 all you would need to do is create something like the static docs module and just use that to create pages like this. Also a hooks system for this seems a little over kill, most guide lines will be attached to certain module, i.e. forum posting rules to a forum module, and so it seems to make more sense that the ability to edit those rules should be a part of that module rather than a part of a dedicated module like legal.

  No, I was mistaken from what someone else had told me, sorry.
