PasswordHack for v2.2.1 English

You can make a board password protected with this hack.
You can insert the password here:

Forums and Moderators
--> modify
---> choose a board

suggestion for the final:

- unsubscribe a access to a password protected board

fixed:

- no matches in the searchengine if a board is protected
- fixed the new topic bug.

And all this for free (somebody told me he want to pay, but all my hacks are for free)

Sorry for my english

update 7th December 2001
fixed the bug in the profile of a member.
if you downloaded this hack before see below to update.

OK,

Maybe I'm missing something, but when I click on the "Go To Last post"-icon in the "Last Post" column on the main page, You can enter the forum without having to enter a password.

Did I miss out on something or is this a bug?

Are you logging out and logging back in as a different user?

This hack will only ask for the password once, unless you change it, then it cookies to your username.

A great hack indeed.

Thanks again!

What I do is:

1. Login
2. Enter password for protected forum
3. Log out
4. In the main forum click on go to last post of protected forum

And I'm in, while I shouldn't...

confused
normally this is inpossible, the access for the protected boards are saved in your database not in Cookis.
Do you have enabled guests to view the forum ? if yes disable it for guests.

I tested it and it worked correctly:
http://216.40.240.19/vbulletin/showt...ost&forumid=30

[YoMama]

Weird. Mine is still warped...

Check out forums.supaspiffy.com

Try to access the [MOB] Private forums as one would normally (which will prompt for a password like it should)
Then go back to the Forum home, and click on the 'Goto last post button' in the 'last Post' column. This will bring you in the forums without having to enter a password. You need to register first (I disabled guest access as you said)

I see your problem, have you modified the showtopic.php ?

you had to look for:

PHP Code:

$threadid = intval($threadid);
$thread = verifyid("thread",$threadid,1,1);

if ($wordwrap!=0) {
  $thread['title']=dowordwrap($thread['title']);
}

if (!$thread['visible']) {
  $idname="thread";
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_invalidid")."\");");
  exit;
}

$forum=getforuminfo($thread['forumid']); 


then you had to add below this code:

PHP Code:

// Password-Hack-by Afterburner-Start 
if ($forum['password']) {
$boardid="userspezial$thread[forumid]";
if ($bbuserinfo[$boardid] != 1) { 
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('fehler_password_showtopic')."\");"); 
exit; 
} 
}
// Password-Hack-by Afterburner-End
