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.

@ dhogan444

maybe you have entered the password before, it is stored in the memberprofile not in cookies.

@ Apollo

please check the code in the forumdisplay.php and also the template:

"fehler_password_board"

code for this template:

PHP Code:

<center>A password is required to enter this forum. Please enter it below: <br> 
<form action="forumdisplay.php" method="POST"> 
<input type="password" name="password"> 
<br> 
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="dopassword"> 
<input type="hidden" name="forumid" value=$foruminfo[forumid]> 
<input type="submit" value="Submit"> 
</form> </center>

I typed in zero then typed in a password

[Afterburner]

typed in zero and clicked on modify ?
(I know this is a stupid question)

[Snake~eyes]

LoL

yeah.. zero then i typed in test for a password and it didn't work.

yea same here. If I set a password (it worked at first) it nolonger works and anyone can get into the forum. I do 0, refresh, type a new pass, and it still doesnt require me to login. I think the hack would be better without the cookies/an option to make ppl login eveyr time they come to the board.

[Snake~eyes]

well, that way, i think they'd have to log in to evrey thread they want to see and everytime they want to post. Wo uldn't be sucha good idea.

[nafae]

well ... even if removing cookies may not be a good Idea, it seems they dont work well now (or something doesnt...)

Thanks AB, The template in my instructions wasn't the same as the one you just posted (Maybe it was an old template from my attempt at getting it going on 2.20 when it was designed for 2.0.3?)

Anyway,
Great Hack! Just what I needed!

This doesn't work for 2.2.1 does it? My user.php doesn't seem to have the same original text that I need to modify.. and I can't find anything simlar..
