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.

Can it be some of the other hacks that I have installed??

I don't know mate, sorry. I'm no php expert.

[extreme_old]

Is there a change that I could get one of you to mail me your edited php files, so I can check with my own??

Please...

Afterburner-

I was literally about to return vBulletin because of the absense of a password protection utility when i saw your hack. You're the man!

Thanks a million-

Working on 2.2.6. One difference, for the first reference in search.php you have to look for this...

PHP Code:

  if ($countmatches==0) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_searchnoresults")."\");");
    exit;

  } else {

    $counter=0;
    $postdone = array();
    $searchresultbits = '';
    while ($searchresult=$DB_site->fetch_array($searchresults) and $counter++<$perpage) {
      if ($postdone[$searchresult[postid]]) {
        $counter--;
        continue;
      } 


...and not the code shown in the install file.

Once the password has been entered to access the protected forum, is it normal for users to be able to log out and then re-log back in and enter the protected forum WITHOUT having to enter in the password?

BTW...GREAT HACK!
