PasswordHack for v2.2.1 English

[Afterburner]

You can make a board password protected with this hack.
You can insert the password here:

Forums and Moderators
--> modify
---> choose a board

suggestion for the final:

- unsubscribe a access to a password protected board

fixed:

- no matches in the searchengine if a board is protected
- fixed the new topic bug.

And all this for free (somebody told me he want to pay, but all my hacks are for free)

Sorry for my english

update 7th December 2001
fixed the bug in the profile of a member.
if you downloaded this hack before see below to update.

[pipi]

Kewl..i love you :D

[Afterburner]

@ pipi

sorry I am engaged :stupid: :D

[SirSteve]

Works great! The only thing I noticed is that it didn't say, "Password incorrect. Please re-enter it."

Also, you may want to include PPN's Failed Login Logging feature to this.

It's located here:

Thanks!

[Afterburner]

@ SirSteve

do you really want this message ?

[QUOTE]Password incorrect. Please re-enter it

[Scott MacVicar]

Would increase my hack size by alot to add parts of your hack.

You can add the query which puts failed logins in the database, its just a single line of code, from my hack. I have no objections to that.

[Afterburner]

@ PPN

whats the standardline (of your hack) to put the errors in the database ? I didnt look into your code. Where are the failed logins saved in the database ? in an seperate database or in adminlog & Co ?

I think its better without this message for security reasons.

[Afterburner]

[QUOTE]Without is fine then. Not a big deal.

[Bedhead]

Hello,

I have installed this hack but I do not see where I can set the username or password.
Any ideas?
The board looks like it never changed at all.
TIA

[Bedhead]

Add column 'password' to table 'forum'...

This is the error I see when i try to access it directly after the files were all installed.

Any ideas?

[Bedhead]

Sorry guys,

I added the column password to the table forum and all is working.

I love this hack.

Afterburner,

You are the man buddy!!!

Have a merry christmas and a happy new year!

Hi Burner !

Wie schauts den mit einer German Version aus ???

[Bedhead]

I have found a bug.

If members click on a user and check their last posts they can gain access via the memberlist.
In the mean time I have restricted access to the memberlist and all is good otherwise.

Is there a fix for this?

thx for reporting this bug, will fix this asap

[Bedhead]

No problem buddy,
Looks great otherwise.

[Afterburner]

do this to fix the bug:


download the member.php and make a backup of this file.

look for this code:

$lastposturl="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$getlastpost[postid]#post$getlastpost[postid]";

replace it with:

$foruminfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT forumid,password FROM forum WHERE forumid='$getlastpost[forumid]'");
if ($foruminfo[password]!="") {
$lastposturl="";
$lastposttitle="$bbtitle";
} else {
$lastposturl="showthread.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&postid=$getlastpost[postid]#post$getlastpost[postid]";
}

upload the member.php

[Afterburner]

oh I forgot to say:

if the last post of a user is in a protected board the title of the last post is replaced with the BB title of your board and the link goes to the mainpage of your board.

[Bedhead]

This works!

I can not see any more bugs now.

This is exactly what I have been looking for.

You are the Man Afterburner.

Thanks.

[nuno]

hey cool hack
shouldnt newreply.php be hacked also? :eek:
*BUG* ;)

[Afterburner]

oh a hardcoder *g*
works only if you know the threadid and put it manually in the browserline, but thx for reporting, you know asap :D but at the moment to much beers *g*

[nuno]

oh :D
dont forget printthread.php ;)

[YoMama]

OK,

Maybe I'm missing something, but when I click on the "Go To Last post"-icon in the "Last Post" column on the main page, You can enter the forum without having to enter a password.

Did I miss out on something or is this a bug?

- YoMama

[Bedhead]

Are you logging out and logging back in as a different user?

This hack will only ask for the password once, unless you change it, then it cookies to your username.

A great hack indeed.

Thanks again!

[YoMama]

What I do is:

1. Login
2. Enter password for protected forum
3. Log out
4. In the main forum click on go to last post of protected forum

And I'm in, while I shouldn't...

- YoMama

[Afterburner]

confused
normally this is inpossible, the access for the protected boards are saved in your database not in Cookis.
Do you have enabled guests to view the forum ? if yes disable it for guests.

[Afterburner]

I tested it and it worked correctly:
http://216.40.240.19/vbulletin/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&forumid=30

[YoMama]

Weird. Mine is still warped...

Check out forums.supaspiffy.com

Try to access the [MOB] Private forums as one would normally (which will prompt for a password like it should)
Then go back to the Forum home, and click on the 'Goto last post button' in the 'last Post' column. This will bring you in the forums without having to enter a password. You need to register first (I disabled guest access as you said)

Regards,

- YoMama

[Afterburner]

I see your problem, have you modified the showtopic.php ?

you had to look for:


$threadid = intval($threadid);
$thread = verifyid("thread",$threadid,1,1);

if ($wordwrap!=0) {
$thread['title']=dowordwrap($thread['title']);
}

if (!$thread['visible']) {
$idname="thread";
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_invalidid")."\");");
exit;
}

$forum=getforuminfo($thread['forumid']);


then you had to add below this code:


// Password-Hack-by Afterburner-Start
if ($forum['password']) {
$boardid="userspezial$thread[forumid]";
if ($bbuserinfo[$boardid] != 1) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('fehler_password_showtopic')."\");");
exit;
}
}
// Password-Hack-by Afterburner-End

[YoMama]

Showtopic.php?


Don't have that file (I'm getting pretty nervous now :) )

Perhaps U mean showthread.php ?

[YoMama]

Uhoh...

It was indeed showthread.php. I pasted the code, but in the wrong place!

I'm sorry for bothering you.

I'm extremely happy (again)

Thx for the great hack & help :)

- Yomama

[Afterburner]

no problem, you are welcome
sorry I mean showthread.php :D

[Ciufs]

i have some bug...

can you help me?

i have PHP 4.0.6 and MySQL 4.0

forum is visible on http://forum.thegames.it

[nafae]

Afterburner: Can you update the zip with all of the changes to avoid confusion? I am not quite sure if I should install this or whatnot because I worry I will do it wrong with so many different directions in different areas of the forums :) And, to get this strait, this hack will put a password protect option on any of the forums, and you can hcange the pass for that forum via the adminCP? Thanks, Naf

[Lucky]

One of the coolest hacks out!

Thanks After Burner.

[Apollo]

Heya Afterburner,
Great hack! But I am having a problem getting it to work on my boards.

Okay,
When I click on a board, I enter the password, and press enter - But it just takes me to an error page? 'No forum specified'. I am entering the right password in.

When I try to enter via showtopic, though, it works correctly? (I enter the password, and it enters the forum).

Please help.

[Snake~eyes]

I've used the hack on 2.0.3 and upgraded - so i decided to uprade this password hack too. NO errors or anything. but it doesn't work. I type the password in the field but the forum isn't protected.

help please,

thx

[Afterburner]

@ dhogan444

maybe you have entered the password before, it is stored in the memberprofile not in cookies.

@ Apollo

please check the code in the forumdisplay.php and also the template:

"fehler_password_board"

code for this template:


<center>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> </center>

[Snake~eyes]

I typed in zero then typed in a password

[Afterburner]

typed in zero and clicked on modify ?
(I know this is a stupid question)

[Snake~eyes]

LoL

yeah.. zero then i typed in test for a password and it didn't work.

[nafae]

yea same here. If I set a password (it worked at first) it nolonger works and anyone can get into the forum. I do 0, refresh, type a new pass, and it still doesnt require me to login. I think the hack would be better without the cookies/an option to make ppl login eveyr time they come to the board.

[Snake~eyes]

well, that way, i think they'd have to log in to evrey thread they want to see and everytime they want to post. Wo uldn't be sucha good idea.

[nafae]

well ... even if removing cookies may not be a good Idea, it seems they dont work well now (or something doesnt...)

[Apollo]

Thanks AB, The template in my instructions wasn't the same as the one you just posted (Maybe it was an old template from my attempt at getting it going on 2.20 when it was designed for 2.0.3?)

Anyway,
Great Hack! Just what I needed!:)

[Javier97Z28]

This doesn't work for 2.2.1 does it? My user.php doesn't seem to have the same original text that I need to modify.. and I can't find anything simlar..

[Lucky]

Using 2.2.1 here.

Works perfect.

[FleaBag]

Great work, running on version 2.2.2; thanks Afterburner! :)

[Lucky]

Got vbp3.0pr7 and vb2.2.2 and all is working great!

Thanks. :p

[JBMoney]

The "Go To Last Post" feature still takes folks into the password protected forum. Just that thread though.

I added the AB's code from page two of this thread. Still does it.

Anyway to prevent that?

[Lionel]

works nice for me on 2.21. Is there a way to parse the password? I have one section of my site that is an image vote. You need to be a vb member to get in there. You can view and vote on images, but if you want to contact someone you must join by registering on the image vote software and add your picture. Once you do and login, the menu changes and displays a secret link to a chat room. I'd like to make that password forum part of the secret links and automatically incorporate the password on it. The people who would access it are already vb members. All they will need will be the password which I am not about to give to everyone.... that will become public 1-2-3 and defeat the purpose of that great hack. I could include $password=whatever in imagevote config. and parse $password. Is it possible to do and how?

[Lionel]

I did a view source of your code and changed the form to include the password as a hidden field in config.php and I am parsing $forumaccess...

[Ciufs]

i have a problem...

i reinstall all my forum with last 2.2.4 Version.
if you want you can see it to http://forum.thegames.it

but i have a problem...
i install this hack and then i try to enter in forum with password...
if i not logged... and i click on last post (in a password protect forum) i can enter... why? how can i resolve it?

PS: sorry for my bad english

[Ciufs]

ok sorry...
i read all old post... and i found the solution.

thx for all !!! this hack now work correctly :D

[FleaBag]

Once I upgraded I needed to edit the install php file to remove the additions to the db. This made duplicate templates, but fixed the problems I was having.

[Afterburner]

no $eintrag="userspezial$forumid";
is only the accessmark for the user who has insert the correct passwort any toime before, with this check he hasn't insert the passwort again because he is allowed to acces the protected board

its NO backdoor

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jawelin

I guess, in case of password change, it should 'expire' or become ineffective... Is it true ?

Sorry. What about the direct-post access as above ? Bulk forum permissions, the only ones acts a post-level, don't know the existence of the password... so they shouldn't stop these accesses. I think this hack should affect even other scripts as said above.... do you agree ?

Thanks again

[Afterburner]

What to hell ist a "bump" ? Sorry I am from Germany and dont know all off your words and the slang ;)

btw I can't follow your question in the quote

[Afterburner]

Sorry I am very confused
showthread.php and newthread.php are already insoved in my hack

maybe we shall wait for vB3.0 with has an orginal passwort protection included (I think)

[Jawelin]

Yes. I added the check to printthread.php ... :D

Starting your great idea and implementation way, I made some modifies (for example, added the md5-hashed pw to the userfield instead of a on/off flag, so I could re-check each time the update of the pw, or a text entry field directly on lastpost template to input the password if none... hiding the thread infos... and so on);
and finally managed to make this major hack working perfectly...

I applied pw on a private forum (I know, it's virtually unuseful! ;) ) but on the other hand is very very proficious on the psicological / security perception matter.
Great!
Thanks again.
Bye

[FleaBag]

Afterburner, can I release a version of this with the style css attributes and 'perfect' English? I might also edit the installer.

[Afterburner]

OK release a version with a "perfect" english ;) sorry for my terrible english *g*

What do you want to edit in the installation file ?

[FleaBag]

Sorry I didn't mean it like that! I can understand your English perfectly! I just thought releasing it with a minor CSS fix wasn't worth anyone's while so I'd do a little extra! As far as the installer is concerned, just an uninstall feature as well as an upgrade between versions.

[Afterburner]

OK release your hack with your modifications, thats no problem for me, the main thing is we can help users with our modifications ;)

[FleaBag]

That's cool mate, I'll credit you for all the work I know what I'm doing is very minimal. Shall I start a new thread or attach to this one?

When I enter the forum, it ask me for the passwords, I type it and then it enters the forum.

Then when I enter want to enter a thread, it ask for the password again?? I then type it again, and the this shows up:

No forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmster.

What is the problem?? Now no user can enter the threads in the protected forums??

Please help me very fast!!

I'am login as a registred user already??

[extreme_old]

ok, I can now login when I login with a registred user, but when I login with my admin status, it keeps coming with this:

No forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

And if I press the last post image, and type the password, it comes with the same error massage, and it doesn't care what user I login wirh, the massage:

No forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

I have now done the install on a totally clean board (2.2.5) but it doesn't work right!! Please someone help me asap.

Thanx

[extreme_old]

Can it be some of the other hacks that I have installed??

[FleaBag]

I don't know mate, sorry. I'm no php expert.

[extreme_old]

Is there a change that I could get one of you to mail me your edited php files, so I can check with my own??

I was literally about to return vBulletin because of the absense of a password protection utility when i saw your hack. You're the man!

Thanks a million-

[Marshalus]

"No Refunds" :D

[FleaBag]

Working on 2.2.6. One difference, for the first reference in search.php you have to look for this...


if ($countmatches==0) {

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_searchnoresults")."\");");
exit;

} else {

$counter=0;
$postdone = array();
$searchresultbits = '';
while ($searchresult=$DB_site->fetch_array($searchresults) and $counter++<$perpage) {
if ($postdone[$searchresult[postid]]) {
$counter--;
continue;
}


...and not the code shown in the install file. :)

[roxics]

Excellent hack thankyou. :)

[Bj?rn]

Good work! Works like a charm! Thx!

[freeshares1]

thanks afterburner, This is a great hack.

[dprice]

Once the password has been entered to access the protected forum, is it normal for users to be able to log out and then re-log back in and enter the protected forum WITHOUT having to enter in the password?

BTW...GREAT HACK!

[Afterburner]

yes that is normal the access for the protected forum is saved in your database

[dprice]

Thanks my friend!

[Zachariah]

Afterburner,

Its been a long time my friend. (since phpbb 1.2 doing hacks) :D
As always, great hacks.

* Zachariah jumps for joy

Question sir, if its an option it would be great to have Admin, Super Mod, and the current Mod of the forum to have access to change the PW of the forum when they want.

[Afterburner]

The Mod, and SuperMod (Admins has still access to the CP) have to have access to the CP.

To change the PW go in the CP to the forum, inser 0 (zero) and klick save to remove the acces of all users, the go again to this forum and insert a new password

[mewgood]

does this work with 2.2.6?

[Afterburner]

yes its works in 2.2.6

or wait for vB 3 there is a password protection included

[[D]Vincent]

I don't know if anyone pointed this out yet or not but one of my members told me that if someone is veiwing a thread in the password protected forum and it shows up online then you can go to the thread from there without having to use the password.

[FleaBag]

Works on 2.2.7, thanks. :D

[SkuZZy]

Well, I just couldn't wait for vb3, so I installed this today and it's working GREAT on 2.2.8!!!

It was very easy to install, took only 10 minutes. It's a very solid hack, not alot of flaws in it! One of the flaws, as mentioned above, is the online.php file. If someone is viewing a thread in a private forum, someone can see them doing this on online.php and go to that thread. But luckily, you can disable online.php :D I wouldn't use this hack if you have top secret information, as it's pretty easy to crack, but 99% of users won't beable to get in to the private forums, which is good enough for me!

Great hack afterburner and tyvm!!!

[Funkie]

Why not just remove the last post icon from the forumhome_lastpostby.
Then they cant click on it

BTW wicked hack fella:):)

@ Satoshi|TWL:you've already executed the query correctly... now procede to install the file edits for this hack :D

[Satoshi|TWL]

I edited the files, It was working, Then we updated to the newest version of vbulletin, Now it isn't. And the forum templates are not there. I tried creating them manually. But it didn't work.

[Dean C]

yes... you need to re-apply all prior code changes to your update otherwise your hacks wont work...

also re-do the templates..

- miSt

[Satoshi|TWL]

Well, right now, the only problem I am having is that when a person tries to access a passworded forum, it just comes up with a blank page. I checked all the files, and the code is all still there. When I triy to create the templates manually, and try to go to a passworded forum, it shows the enter password box, but it doesn't let me enter a password, and also three empty boxes appear below it. (The kind where it looks like you can enter text also)
If someone could give me the code for the templates exactly how I should enter it, I would appreciate it. I am kinda new at this.

[Dean C]

u add the templates via the admin cp .. there is no code for it..

[Satoshi|TWL]

I got it fixed finally. Thanks.

I get the password box and am able to login to the thread but if I try to post a reply or start a new thread I get this:

You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.

2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Thank you for your help,

There is no fix currently..

- miSt

[Littlebit]

Mist thanks for answering :)
What did you do to remedy the situation then? remove the clickable image from the postbit? If so, I will just do that ( I like the password entry too much to nix it) If you did, what postbit templates do I need to attack to make it happen?

hmmm I wonder how they handled this for vB3

[Littlebit]

Nevermind the previous post. I went ahead and removed the last post image/link from the forumhome_lastpostby and plugged the hole that way.
I am though still curious how it is done for vB3 anyone know? :surprised:

[JonathanB]

We just upgraded to 2.2.9, and reinstalled the password hack. The forums work fine, and the people that could get in before (already entered the forum passwords in the past) can get in and post fine, but new users aren't being prompted for the forum password, it simply says "[Name of our forum] Message", with no password entry box under it.

For those that have entered the forum password in the past-- everything works fine-- it's just new users that aren't prompted for the password (they just get that "[Name of Forum] Message").

How can we fix this ASAP?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

[Afterburner]

you have to intert the templates for the passwort again

@ all

no further add ons to this hack and only limited support, because the passwort function is in vB3 integrated

[Littlebit]

Jonathanb,
yeh, that happened with me too because the script puts the templates in as original defaults and when you reinstalled it made them disappear (that happened with me with the store hack too ugg) I assumed they would stay there like all the altered templates do. I'm a dork.
I took out the query to add a password column part in passwordhack.php since the column is already there...then I re uploaded passwordhack.php and the script re-placed the templates.

[Afterburner]

use the attachment (passwordhacktemplate.php) to reimport the templates again

[Littlebit]

Afterburner, was it okay what I did? It said success and the templates are there. I'm not missing something though, am I ?

Just installed on version 2.2.9 .. no problems (by following the first download file btw, no need to do anything on the thread unless you need to reenter the templates if you've upgraded your vb and are readding the hack :))

I know that vb3 is just around the corner .. but PLEASE PLEASE can someone reply with a fix for the "side arrow" issue .. apart from deleting it ..

Perhaps something needs to be added to showthread.php ?

Now only if I could get the damn gold hack to work >_<

I'm using vbPortal, and there is a flaw with the Active Topics Center box module that comes with vbportal. If you click on the link to a thread in a Passworded forum from there, it bring you right to it without asking for a password. Is there a way I can fix this so Passworded Forum Threads don't show up on the Active Topics list? Please help
