Force 18 and over at Registration Time.

I must have been asking for this for at least 3 months now. This is a patch to me not really a fix.

What this modification does:
When a new user (sorry only works for new users) Signs up on your forum they will have to enter an age that is 18 years and up. Once they do this and complete the registration they can not change the year they inputted at registration time.

What is the point of this???
Well this is the biggest thing I have seen that gives no control to the vB admin.

Users can sign up saying they are 18 and then once they are members change the year back to the age they really are (say 15) Issues occur when other users see this (esp. a 18 and older forum) They become concerned about the young users on the site.

Of course people can lie. But at least it is forced now (like their user name) once they enter the age.

In some countries and some states in the US you have to have something like this.

I do hope this helps everyone who needs it.

Works with 3.0.x up to 6

perhaps there is something caching in the browser once you have tried it once?? never thought of that??

this is a very very easy hack so your saying 17 year olds and some months are still signing up?
you sure the dates are correct?

your idea has nothing to do with this hack to be honest with you.
I have no problems what so ever. Do you mind breaking it down what exactly is going on? DO you have more hacks installed?

evo_j

03-12-2005 02:51 PM

my idea? which idea was that then??? if ur refering to the caching i simply meant that if u go to sign up page, put in an age of over 18, then move onto next page, see that it works, click back in browser, then try to enter an age below 18 it may have cached the original entry, i have no idea how it works, just thinking outloud

i am also saying

i tried to sign up and i have just tried it again to verify

i put in date of march 30th 1987 it allowed me to register, this would make my age 17 years 11 months and some days, am i right or not? unless the server has the wrong date set which i doubt, im sure i would notice, i havent changed anything in the code.

I have installed miserable user hack thats it... i have double checked the mod and i did it exactly as its instructed to do it

thanks

PHP Code:


		
			
          if ($year < ($current['year'] - 18) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 18) AND $month <= $current['month']))

It will accept you starting with the month you will turn 18.

I think he is talking about the "Miserable User Hack". It's the one where it makes the forums start screwing up for certain users so they get fed up and go. I don't think he was saying he was a "Miserable User"... LOL :classic:

The area in the hack that says...

PHP Code:


		
			
1. open register.php



######################################################################################

Find:



    if ($year < ($current['year'] - 13) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 13) AND $month <= $current['month']))



Replace with:

        // 18 and older START by kinglifer

        // if ($year < ($current['year'] - 13) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 13) AND $month <= $current['month']))

          if ($year < ($current['year'] - 18) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 18) AND $month <= $current['month']))

        // 18 and older END by kinglifer

######################################################################################

do all the finds but replace it with this...

PHP Code:


		
			
// 18 and older START by kinglifer

        // if ($year < ($current['year'] - 13) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 13) AND $month <= $current['month']))

if ($year < ($current['year'] - 16) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 16) AND $month <= $current['month']))

// 18 and older END by kinglifer

That will do 16+
