Hi Lynne,

I found

PHP Code:
// check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set
verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']); 
From that description that code checks the forum to make sure it has password and not being a coder myself makes me a little wary of changing that as it might break the password prompt would you be kind enough to provide and example of course, when you have the time.

Thanks !

I said to look at the actual function, not just the function call. The function itself is in functions.php

Oh I'm sorry I understand found it I will play with the code and see if I can find what is causing it, thanks Lynne!

Sadly I have not been able to get this to work so it promts admins and mods a forum password on each session because I am dumb when it comes to php (know very little) if anyone who has an understanding of what part of this function I should edit it would be great. So far I've just been breaking it and spitting errors at me all morning :(

PHP Code:
function verify_forum_password($forumid, $password, $showerror = true)
{
    global $vbulletin, $stylevar;

    if (!$password OR  ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] &  $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) OR  ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] &  $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator']) OR  can_moderate($forumid))
    {
        return true;
    }

    $foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($forumid);
    $parents = explode(',', $foruminfo['parentlist']);
    foreach ($parents AS $fid)
    { // get the pwd from any parent forums -- allows pwd cookies to cascade down
        if ($temp = fetch_bbarray_cookie('forumpwd', $fid) AND $temp === md5($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . $password))
        {
            return true;
        }
    }

    // didn't match the password in any cookie
    if ($showerror)
    {
        require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_misc.php');

        $security_token_html = '<input type="hidden"  name="securitytoken" value="' . $vbulletin->userinfo['securitytoken']  . '" />';

        // forum password is bad - show error
        eval(standard_error(fetch_error('forumpasswordmissing',
            $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionhash'],
            $vbulletin->scriptpath,
            $forumid,
            construct_post_vars_html() . $security_token_html,
            $stylevar['cellpadding'],
            $stylevar['cellspacing']
        )));
    }
    else
    {
        // forum password is bad - return false
        return false;
    }
}

If you want it to prompt everyone for a password, then I believe you just want to change this line to say if no password, then true.
From:
PHP Code:
if (!$password OR  ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] &  $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) OR  ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] &  $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator']) OR  can_moderate($forumid)) 
To:
PHP Code:
if (!$password) 
Test it on your test site - I think it should work.

Wow that was easy!
