Force 18 and over at Registration Time

[utw-Mephisto]

I know the mod for 3.0.3 but is there something similiar for 3.6.2 ?

Basically if someone click on register I would like to show first the birthdate verification (the three drop downs) and only when the guy is above 18 he will get the normal register page..

If you don't mind waiting a few days till I can get decent net access I have already written this and just need to test it on 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 before releasing it.

Sure thing No Problem to wait

Thanks ..

Don't mind beta testing :P

I have made it in my 3.6.0 this way. I haven?t tested myself, but think in 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 it should also work...


AdminCP --> vBulletin Options --> User Registration Options --> "Deny registration for users aged under 13 years" --> Save


After that edit the register.php this way:

Find:

PHP Code:

if (mktime(0, 0, 0, $vbulletin->GPC['month'], $vbulletin->GPC['day'], $vbulletin->GPC['year']) <= mktime(0, 0, 0, $current['month'], $current['day'], $current['year'] - 13)) 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

if (mktime(0, 0, 0, $vbulletin->GPC['month'], $vbulletin->GPC['day'], $vbulletin->GPC['year']) <= mktime(0, 0, 0, $current['month'], $current['day'], $current['year'] - 18)) 


After that you can edit the error message for the users in the phrase:
$vbphrase[under_thirteen_registration_denied]

That works, but I have a nice way of doing it. I'm going to see about getting it into a plugin instead of the code mod that it is currently, and it gives some nice options in the ACP too.

I could release the code mod version now, but I'd rather wait till I have it written as a plugin instead as it makes life a lot easier for everyone concerned.

Great - thanks

Any chance you can still release this if it is available?
