How to remove "Terms of use" page by using Hook in Liferay

The first time users log into Liferay Portal, they’re presented with a “terms of use” page. Users must agree to the terms of use in order to continue. This feature is controlled by a property
in Liferay’s default portal.properties file that looks like this:

           terms.of.use.required=true

we can configure a hook to turn off this feature by changing the property from true

to false.

Step 1:First, we meed to  configure our hook to override properties by editing liferay-hook.xml 
   
       Open the liferay-hook.xml file from our project’s docroot/WEB-INF folder of our example-hook (what we created in previous post)

configure our hook to override properties by editing liferay-hook.xml to look like this:

liferay-hook.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hook PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Hook 6.2.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-hook_6_2_0.dtd">

<hook>
    <portal-properties>portal.properties</portal-properties>
    <custom-jsp-dir>/META-INF/custom_jsps</custom-jsp-dir>

</hook>


Step 2: open portal.properties  file from our project’s docroot/WEB-INF/src  folder 
         and put this 
            terms.of.use.required=false

Step 3: Save and close this file And deploy our hook

Create a new user and log in. The Terms of Use page should not be there 
 New users won’t need to accept the terms of service,and we won’t need to restart our portal for this to take effect.

NOTE:if you wanted to revert this property back to the default behavior, all you would need to do is undeploy the hook, and the portal would immediately revert without the need for a restart.
