[beta release] Forum Passwords

[JamesUS]

Okay I've seen a lot of demand for this so decided to give it a shot. It is still in BETA so please don't use it without taking full backups etc! I will release a final version in a week or so.

It was developed on v2 beta 3 but I would imagine it would work on any v2 beta.



1. Add a field to the forum table called "password". Make it CHAR of 50 characters. You can also run this SQL statement:

ALTER TABLE forum ADD password CHAR (50) not null



forumdisplay.php
Put this on line 33:

if ($action == "dopassword") {
if (md5($password) == md5($foruminfo['password'])) {
vbsetcookie("bbforumpass[$forumid]", md5($foruminfo['password']),0);
} else {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_passwordrequired')."\");");
exit;
}
} else {
if ($foruminfo['password']) {
if ($bbforumpass[$forumid] != md5($foruminfo['password'])) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_passwordrequired')."\");");
exit;
}
}
}



showthread.php
Insert on line 114:


if ($forum['password']) {
if ($bbforumpass[$forumid] != md5($foruminfo['password'])) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_passwordrequired')."\");");
exit;
}
}


admin/forum.php
Line 94:

makeinputcode("Forum Password<br>(Max length of 50 characters)","password");


Change line 129 from:

(forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayo rder,parentid,


to


(password,forumid,styleid,title,description,active ,displayorder,parentid,


Change line 119 from:

(NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid',

to

('$password',NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid',


Insert on line 194:

makeinputcode("Forum Password<br>(Max length of 50 characters)","password",$forum[password]);


Change line 242 from:

moderateattach='$moderateattach'


to


moderateattach='$moderateattach',password='$passwo rd'


Templates
Add a template called error_passwordrequired. In it should be this:

A password is required to enter this forum. Please enter it below: <br>
<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="POST">
<input type="password" name="password">
<br>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="dopassword">
<input type="hidden" name="forumid" value=$foruminfo[forumid]>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

i have done everything but how do that?? ;) above?? :confused:

[kicks]

You can use phpmyadmin or do it from command line if you have shell access to your server :)

[RaMMSTeiN]

where can i find the PHPadmin?? or the commandline shell....

im just started
a guy had setup our forum, so im a newbee LOL:D

[JamesUS]

Do you have telnet or SSH access to your host?

[The Prohacker]

<?
require(".global.php");
cpheader();
$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE forum ADD password CHAR (50) not null");
echo("Database altered successfully. Please ".makelinkcode("click here","./index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]")." to proceed to your Admin CP");
cpfooter();
?>

Put this in a file called pass-install.php
and upload it to your admin dir, now call it from your browser to install the sql for this hack, after installed, delete pass-install.php.

Hopefully this will help

thnx prohacker

[JaDy]

is that working for version 1.1.4 too ?

[JamesUS]

I haven't tried but I doubt it, you'll need to upgrade to 2.0.x

[briguy617]

Is there a final version of this that works with v2.0.0? I tried this, but the line numbers are not accurrate. Or could someone post what is supposed to come immediatly before each of the lines that are supposed to be inserted? Thanks!

[McDohl]

Hey all.

Have a slight problem with this hack. I've done everything it wants but when I try to specify a password it just won't remember it and doesn't prompt me for a password when I try to go into the forum I just placed a password on.

Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated. :)
