18+ may only enter

[Pain86]

i have a porn forum on my site and i only want those who are 18+ plus to enter... how can i do this?

i require members to select their d.o.b at registration.

wouldn't usergroups be a good option so you can completely hide the adult section from u18's. if they saw it but couldnt get in, common sense would be to change the DOB to make you old enough.

if not, you would open forumdisplay.php and showthread.php, find
if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW))
{
print_no_permission();
}
and replace with something like-
if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW) OR ([ variable for DOB here ] AND $forumid == [adult forum ID here]))
{
print_no_permission();
}

i've Created a hack to do this, it allows you to set the age of forums indivdually so each forum can have different age restrictions.

Age Limit (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93438)

it's still in beta production but is ready for the use you are after


hope it helps
