Password Required Before Updating Profile

[JulianD]

It was requested by some members on my forums, so I made it and released it :) Hope you like it guys. Feedback is welcome!

Description: With this tiny hack your users will be required to enter their current password before they make any changes to their profile. Useful when your members reads your forums in a public computer (like in school) and they forget to clear the cookies. So other people won't change their profile information maliciously.

Download the file and follow the instructions!

Thanks.

Although I probably won't use it ;)

Sounds great to me :) and very quick and simple to implement.
Maybe great idea as a little tweak for upcomming vb3 :)

I think it would be annoying, but there you go;)

Nice idea though:)

I think you have to provide a field to fill in password, something like

<tr bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">
<td><b><normalfont>Your current password:</normalfont></b>(You have to provide your password in order to change your profile)
<normalfont><input type="password" class="bginput" name="currentpassword" value="" size="30" maxlength="30"></normalfont></td>
</tr>

before you submit the modify profile form in modifyprofile template

I can't believe I forgot to put the template edit. Anyway, thanks mtha for the comment. Attachment updated.
