Age based premissions for registering and viewing forums · **Released**: 01-09-2007

This is based on this 3.5 plug-in. Although it uses the same hook locations and similar phrases, I ended up recoding it so none of the original code is used. To install simply download and install the XML file via the Plugin & Product manager. You can then alter the registration requirements via the vBulletin Settings option and the minimum age to view a specific forum by editing it using the forum manager - again it should appear near the bottom.

New features:

Updated for vBulletin 3.6.4 (should work on 3.6.x)
More accurate (the previous only checked month and year).

Original features:

Specify minimum age required to register.
Limit access to forums based on age.

Disclaimer:
Because users can lie about their age, this many not fulfil the legal requirements for adult content. I accept no responsibility for how this is used.

You're free to do what you like with this code, although credit is appreciated, it's not required.

I like it, but there seems to be a loophole.

If you simply remove your birth year it will allow you access to the forum you've set the age limit on.

I have a question, when a user signs up they must input their age. That is the first thing they have to do. Can the hack not be based on the age they enter there, because that way they won't lie because they won't know that they have to be a certain age to view a certain forum (unless its not hidden and they have tried to enter).

It's a pain having to get them to put in their birthday in their fields and even then they arn't usually telling the truth. Let me know please

This is not that great of a hack. After they see the minimum age they need to be, they can easily go back and make their age older and register again in 10 seconds and become a member of the community.

Sincerely,

Is there a way to lock out the birthday after they have registered? So that they cant change it?

I have been looking for this and it works great for vB 3.6.8. Guests and anyone under 18 can not even see if an adult section is around, while older than 18s and registered can.

Thanks for posting this. It helped me a lot. :up:

I installed it today and I checked it.
It's working ok, but the question of age appears again on the main registration fields area!!

This is a problem!

How can it be fixed???

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
