Age verification

[gldtn]

Hello everyone,

Under "admincp > vBulletin Options > User Registration Options > Use COPPA Registration System" you can choose to deny registration for users under the age of 13.. so I was wondering if there is a way to bring the age up to 18 somehow.

thanks for the attention!

A quick edit is all that is needed.

In register.php find:
if ($year < ($current['year'] - 13) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 13) AND $month <= $current['month']))

And replace that with:
if ($year < ($current['year'] - 18) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 18) AND $month <= $current['month']))

And enable the option to deny registration to anyone under 13. It'll work still. Tested it and everything. So hopefully it work for you. :eek:

Wouldn't there be a way to also change that option to read 18, too?

[Scrub]

Erm, would have to look into that. :p

[Boofo]

How about phrases? ;)

Search for the phrase deny_under_13_registration in Control Panel Options and change the text to: Deny registration for users aged under 18 years.

There you go. Now you have a hack you can release. ;)

I have a remedial question about this but should I make the changes via the server through my cPanelX?
