Registration Denied if under 18

Userage Based Permissions

Description
This Hack allows yo to specify a minimum Age to register, as well as specifying a minimum Age for each Forum.
Please note that this can be as easily tricked as COPPA and does in no way
fulfill law requirements for Adult Content.

Details
1 Product XML with 5 Plugins, 3 Phrases, 1 Setting and 1 Query

History
1.0.0 Initial Version
1.0.1 Minimum Age is now a Setting (ACP / vBulletion Options / vBulletin Options / User registration Options)
Added an Option in Forum Manager to specify Minimum Age for each Forum
1.0.2 Fixed a slight mistake in the XML which caused an error in Forum Manager
1.0.3 Added a Plugin that was missing in the XML so the Option in Forum Manager now does show up

Please only click Install if you actually have installed/are using this Hack, and click Uninstall whan you don't use it any longer!

Yes.

Just tested, installs just fine for me.

Well, as said - it might be better then nothing at all
Of course, a real solution would require X.509 Certificates on a protected Token (USB Device, Smartcard, etc.)

Thanks for the update. Do you know anything about hacking external.php?

Because my board like many has all private forums and I get no output. With the older external.php pre 3.08 I was able to hack it to use a special usergroup I created. That usergroup had limited access to certain forums and was able to get headlines.

This is what I used but I have no idea how to hack the new external.php

// set us up as a very limited privileges user
$vboptions['hourdiff'] = (date('Z', TIMENOW) / 3600 - intval($_REQUEST['timeoffset'])) * 3600;

//set usergroup
$bbuserinfo = array('usergroupid' => 28);
$usergroupcache = array();
$permissions = cache_permissions($bbuserinfo);

Hi, do you have one similar to this that is for v3.0.8 or .7 rather than 3.5?

Thanks

No matter what i try to edit i type my birth year in (26/1/1987) and it says im not 18. But when i change the month to the 12 it will accept it.

I also changed the settings to only allow people 16+ and it has not took any affect.

Edit: I think i just fixed it.

Just a cosmetic one for you kirby

Hook Location : forumadmin_edit_form
Userage Based Permissions

print_table_header('user_age_options')

Should read:

print_table_header($vbphrase[user_age_options])

I'm sure you meant to put this in, as you had added a phrase for it.
