This hack allows you to set advanced rules for user passwords to increase member account security. You can enable/disable:
The password cant be same with username
The password cant be shorter than X characters
The password must include both numbers and letters
The password cant be all consecutive like 111111 or aaaaaa
The password cant be years (eg. birth years) or the character sets you banned like 'qwerty' or '0000'
individually. Advanced password rules apply to new registering members and existing members who change their passwords.
The hack is Admin CP integrated so you can configure its options inside your Admin CP. (See screenshots below) It's compatible with all VB versions I know, feel free to try..
I coded this hack as a part of my "Advanced Board Protection Hack" (not released yet), however it become too complex, so I seperated this and make it an independent hack.
OK. I just installed this. Everything is working...
Except the template. When I put a birthdate in as a password, it sends me to the advanced pasword rules template, but there is nothing there. I have checked the templates on both my template sets and they are both populated.
i would like some advice please. On our vbulletin we use .php3. In the APR_install.php would i need to rename it to APR_install.php3 and all content inside to *.php3. also this piece of code i'm not sure of inside this file. Where does this go konukdefteri.php and do i need to change the extension of that to php3 aswel.

1- First change finename to "APR_install.php3"
2- Edit file and change line include("./global.php"); to include("./global.php3");
3- And line $file_name="APR_install.php"; to $file_name="APR_install.php3";
You don't need to make anychanges. konukdefteri.php is an obselete code which does not run anyway. It should work ok after these 3 changes.
Good work! Keep those users from complaining about their account being hacked. (hate it when it is a PEBKAC issue).
Just a minor nitpick, it is "DISALLOWED" not "UNALLOWED". Might want to fix that minor error.
As for the template, most of you can probably make your life a little easier by taking the global variables of the hack and put it in as part of your error message template, like:
Code:
The password you have entered does not meet the password complexity requirements as set by the system administrator. Please go back and ensure that your password meets the complexity requirements.
<br>
<br>
Your password must be at least $bbmin_pass_length characters long, and can not be repeating letters or numbers, and can not be your username.
By using $bbmin_pass_length in your error message template, the number of characters long will be displayed and change according to what you have set in your admin CP options. So you don't need to go back to edit the template everytime you change the settings.
Logician may also want to adjust a few of those variables, or introduce an "enhanced" hack to allow those variables to be passed as "Yes" or "No" text string, so people can just put in the variables at the template and will automatically change with the settings.
