Age Locked Forums

Ok this is my first hack and since i dont want to make people angre a posted it in here

Quote:

Provent unauthorized access ot a forum by an underaged user, Age Limit Will provent anyone
who isn't old enough to view the forum while allows those who are.

Features
+ Admins/mods are excempt from age limitation
+ User Defined age and forum to lock
+ Prevents access to post files aswell as forum
+ Removes Birthday date changing via profile (now only admin can change it)
+ Provents Searching to access posts
+ Provents Guest viewing of locked forums while other forums are open to guests
+ Provents Accessing thread/posts directly
+ Provents Access by using Forum Jump
+ Checks Age by using all D.O.B values

Thanks to KirbyDE for optimizations, sketch42 for bug testing, nexialys for bug testing

Optimization suggestion

PHP Code:


		
			
function check_age($userid,$forumid)

{

    global $forumcache;

    $userinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);

    $now = date('d-m-Y');

    $bday = explode("-", $userinfo['birthday']);

    $now = explode("-", $now);

    $j = $now[2] - $bday[2];

    return (int)($j >= $forumcache["$forumid"]['age_value']);

}





function check_lock($forumid)

{

    global $forumcache;

    return $forumcache["forumid"]['age_locked'];

}

Furthermore, you could remove the Locked Yes/No setting and define 0 being unlocked, would save memory.
And your age-check does only check the Year, should also check month/day.

in your install file, there is a typo:

PHP Code:


		
			
$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE forum ADD age_value? varchar(10) DEFAULT ''");

just after age_value ...

and for your install.html, please don't add anything related to your own website... the actual style, icons and images are linked to your site, and will give you too much trafic and too much lag if your site is down one day...

will this remove the birthday from the public profile as well?

stuie_b

08-02-2005 02:27 PM

no the birthday will still be displayed in the public profile

the reason i asked is because i want to change this ..

Quote:

If you enter your birth date using the controls provided here, other forum visitors will be able to see your birthday on the forum calendar and in your profile. Adding your year of birth is optional.

this is what it shows during registration, and i wanted to word it in a way where it would discourage users from inputing a fake birthday from the start

k i found where it is in MEMBERINFO template

just find this

Code:

<div class="fieldset">

                        <if condition="$show['extrainfo']">

                                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">

                                <if condition="$userinfo['birthday']">

                                <tr>

                                        <td>

                                                <strong>$vbphrase[birthday]</strong>:<br />

                                                $userinfo[birthday]

                                        </td>

                                </tr>

                                </if>

                                $customfields

                                </table>

                        <else />

and change it to this

Code:

<div class="fieldset">

                        <if condition="$show['extrainfo']">

                                <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0">



                                                              $customfields

                                </table>

                        <else />

in case anyone else wants to do this

and than just edit that phrase

one last thing as of right now the users can still see the forum but can not enter
is it possible to make the forum invisible?

stuie_b

08-02-2005 05:07 PM

sketch42

08-04-2005 02:48 AM

ok i dont know if its only me.. but im gonna uninstall the hack just to make sure.. guests now get you are not logged in error message when they try to view any forum
even if not age locked.. can someone confirm this?

sketch42

08-04-2005 02:55 AM

yes just uploaded all my original files and everything is working fine now..

the thing is i wouldnt have minded if it only showed that to guests who wanted to view the forum i age locked but it did it to every forum on the board.

i really like this hack and would like to see it out of beta stage

sketch42

08-04-2005 09:55 AM

Stuie - Before i install this i want to ask - what about people who dont have the YEAR of birth installed ?

I have a lot of members who never put in their year or birth , and they can still do this in the registration ... what happens if they dont enter a year ? - and is there an option for them to add it in if i install this . or will they have to contact me ?

stuie_b

01-15-2006 10:02 AM

it's really intended for a new install but a supose you could just get your users to enter there details before you install this mod.
