This can be used especially in forums that have adult content.

[Azhrialilu]

oh this is just what I was waiting for! Sweetness :D

[nexialys]

the idea of deleting the content of the template modifyprofile_birthday is irrelevent... just add a new plugin for the hook: profile_editprofile_start, add simply a "no_permission" thingy...

btw, i think it would be more efficient to be conditional to a setting - admin can activate this or not, so if not, the users will be able to change their birthday

[Andreas]

+ Removes Birthday date changing via profile (now only admin can change it)
+ Allows user to hide birthday from public view

This is redundant; RC3 does this by default.

[mindfrost82]

This is redundant; RC3 does this by default.

I see where they can hide their birthday, but how to you make it so they can't change their birthday? I can't seem to find this option.

[mindfrost82]

Also, would it be possible for me to implement this with vBshout? I have a shoutbox, but I would prefer it if that was only accessible to adult users as well.

*Clicks Install* Just the hack I was looking for :)

[mindfrost82]

Sorry, but one more question.

Is there a way to make it so that the forums are hidden?

I setup a test account, and it still shows the forum, but when I click on the it gives me the message about being too young. I would prefer it if they couldn't see the forums to begin with.

[moonclamp]

Is it possible to toggle the option to edit the date of birth?

The reason for this is so that some birthday data was incorrect during an import from phpbb and I want to allows users some time to correct any errors before enabling it

[stuie_b]

Also, would it be possible for me to implement this with vBshout

i can have a look into if you like but it maybe a step where you would have to modify the code!

Is there a way to make it so that the forums are hidden?

from what i've been told the only way to hide forum without code modification is to use a usergroup (could be wrong)

Is it possible to toggle the option to edit the date of birth?

Thats the next step, i'm looking into a usergroup method that would allow the forum admin to allow certain usergroups the abillity to edit there birthday

i should have a beta version by the end of the week for you with most of these included (hopefully)

I love the idea, but it dosn't work.

[stuie_b]

not sure why you get that but it does work, i've just installed it onto the latest VB release and it works 100%, if you would like me to try to install it for you just pm me

stuie b

[katholic]

Would this work on exsisting members or only new members? Also would it work on 3.5.1?

[stuie_b]

as long as all of your members have a date of birth set in there profiles it will work for them all,

and yes it works for 3.5.1

Removing that also removes that from registration. then when someone tries to register they cant because it requires age.

How hard would this be to set up a reversely? For example: I've got forums that are for teens only (under the age of 18) - this would work great if that would be possible. :D

I thought I should try an uninstall it and then install it again. But I got this

It seems as it isn't updating the tables correctly, Try installing it again but this time try using the "Allow Overwrite" set to YES

Can this hack be used for individual sections in the site or is this just for reigstering to enter the site?

[stuie_b]

Yes the hack works with the forums and not the registration

Same here.

[stuie_b]

Appologies all it seems i forgot to add the install bit for the age_type field, please downlaod the hack again and try that

[krg2k]

all the errors you guys and I are getting is because of Table PRECIXES ... if you have table prefixes it will give you errors and installing and uninstalling will be a mess ....

so don't mess around with it untill stuie_b fixes the code for table prefixes....

peace

[mindfrost82]

I installed it again and got the same problem.

I'm not using table prefixes either.

[Mastar]

Same problem with no prefix

[mindfrost82]

Also after doing this, people are saying they can't get into the forums that have an age limit :(

[stuie_b]

I've sorted the Prefix error, so can you please try the new version even if you dont use Prefixes.

cheers

stuie b

[Mastar]

I'm sorry to say that it still doesn't work. Still getting the DB error. I edited the template again and uploaded the product.

[stuie_b]

can you tell me if there is only one uninstall/install code when you edit the plugin

cheers

[Mastar]

Install Code:

require_once('./global.php');
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD age_locked ENUM('0','1') DEFAULT '0'");
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD age_type ENUM('0','1') DEFAULT '0'");
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD age_value varchar(10) DEFAULT ''");
$db->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase (`phraseid`, `languageid`, `varname`, `text`, `phrasetypeid`) VALUES ('', '-1', 'ageincorrect', 'Sorry but this forum has been age locked, <br>You seem to be too young to view this forum!!', '1000')");


Uninstall Code:

require_once('./global.php');
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum DROP COLUMN age_locked");
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum DROP COLUMN age_value");
$db->query("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum DROP COLUMN age_type");
$db->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "phrase WHERE varname='ageincorrect'");

[Mastar]

New error I found after I install Gallery and try to create a Category:

Fatal error: Field age_locked is not defined in $validfields in class vb_datamanager_forum in /includes/class_dm.php on line 485

And this hack will not delete. Getting a DB error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.1:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE forum DROP COLUMN age_locked;

MySQL Error : Can't DROP 'age_locked'. Check that column/key exists

It's because the plugin hasn't been installed correctly for some reason it is'nt installing it for you???

To uninstall the plugin, edit the plugin and remove the uninstall code, save it and then retry the uninstall

Kool it is uninstalled.

[KBV]

Works on my site, but only for people who are older. If I want a forum that is for people 15 and under, it allowes people 15 and over to post, but not below. Yes, I have tried changing the 0 and 1 thing.

thanks for the notification i've re-written the code and have also removed the install/uninstall code from the plugin and added an external installer to see if that will fix the problems with the fields not being created correctly in the database


cheers

[KBV]

Thank you, it works perfect now. ;) Great work Stuie!

[KBV]

The mod is letting people not of the given age into the forums that have a lock. I've observered several 15-17 year olds in my 18+ forum. Not posting, but luriking, because posting would get them banned.

Anyone else see this behaviour?

[KBV]

I found out how, all they have to do is go to the profile of the last poster in the forum with the age mod and select "View posts by this user", and they can see them all.

Btw, wouldn't it be easier to hook the system up to usergroups, or a cronjob?

Usergroups:
User W who is X age is placed into sub-usergroup Y which gives access to Z.

Cronjob:
Each night at W user X who is Y years old is given access to forum Z.

Would be fullproof against the bug above.

[stuie_b]

using usergroups wouldn't be very practical since you would need to have a diff usergroup for each age.

For example if i had a forum that had three diff age required forums one for 15 one for 14 and one for 18 i would have to create three usergroups for each, then mod the promotions function to move each user up to the diff groups.

Using a Cron job would add an extra load onto your server which is not my aim, The current version uses vbulletins form cache data to do it's checking and never involves any extra mysql or external services to be run

i will look into this problem and get back to you.

thanks

Removing that also removes that from registration. then when someone tries to register they cant because it requires age.

I realized this to so i will proabbly make a <if> condition for registered users. not to see it . ;)

[moonclamp]

I've added both this hack and the other age one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93138&highlight=age

This means that underage members don't even get to see the forum if it is restricted.

Best of both worlds :)

it should still work for 3.5.3 but i havnt tested it on this,

The only settings which can be changed are the forum age settings, which are located under the forums options when editing a forum

Excellent addon, but I would love to see a couple of features:

-Restrict people who haven't got a birthday set
-A feature that will allow you to enable or disable users to set their birthday.

good idea mate, stuie_b should look in to it.

[Injektilo]

installed but, DOESNT WORK :S .... i've set the settings right, but still nothing...only thing that is workin is when a user without age tries to go into an age locked forum, it gives a message that he cannot go in due to age......

So what's this?

[Injektilo]

can someone plz explain y is not working?

[Exitilus]

Can this be used to stop people from actually Registering on the site? Not just accessing / posting in certain forums ?

[XeroStatic]

Got this installed, people can register and input their age, but then when they try to view the forums it says they are unable to. I view their user info and the Birthdate field is blank. I am having to manually edit members info. Any ideas why?

users that can't access the forum with a age lock restriction, can jump the restriction by "latest topic posted" on the home of the forum, can join to the this topic and post on it

anyone know a one solution for this bug?

Got this installed on 3.5.4 and it seesm to have deleted every single DOB entry and once ive edited it it deletes it again if they edit their profile.

All this does on 3.6.x is crash the database with the same errors that were reported 2 years ago. If you can't make it work in two years time, I'll pass. :D

funny this version is for 3.5 not 3.6.x so maybe you should try the correct vesion before you start blaming the code if thats how it is on vb.org maybe i shouldnt have bothered or maybe u should do it yourself next time

in responce all qrys about the direct link on index should also check 3.6.x package

all other bugs (that were reported) have been fixed in 3.6.x package

Hello, in principle this hack looks great but as an almost complete newbie to vbulletin I'm having a few probs

I have installed the hack and it appears to be switched on, and in manage plugins I can see the items related to agelock...however the forum still allows me to register a user who is 13 years old for example...

In what part of the code do i set the age restriction to be a minimum of 17 ?

Sorry is this is completely obvious, I've only had vbulletin a few weeks and its all still much of a mystery to me.

Thanks

Age lock works on a forum by forum basis, by doing this it allows you to set a different age for each forum,

To set the age you simply login to the admincp goto the forum manager and select the forum you wish to age lock, then scroll to the bottom and specify the age and if they have too be older or younger.

on a side note i'd recommend you install the latest version of vb and install the latest version of age lock (located here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1301827)) dont install this version on vb3.6.x

if you need any futhur help please feel free to contact me directly via PM or email.
