[beta release] Forum Passwords

[JamesUS]

Okay I've seen a lot of demand for this so decided to give it a shot. It is still in BETA so please don't use it without taking full backups etc! I will release a final version in a week or so.

It was developed on v2 beta 3 but I would imagine it would work on any v2 beta.



1. Add a field to the forum table called "password". Make it CHAR of 50 characters. You can also run this SQL statement:

ALTER TABLE forum ADD password CHAR (50) not null

forumdisplay.php
Put this on line 33:

PHP Code:

if ($action == "dopassword") {
    if (md5($password) == md5($foruminfo['password'])) {
        vbsetcookie("bbforumpass[$forumid]", md5($foruminfo['password']),0);
    } else {
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_passwordrequired')."\");");
        exit;
    }
} else {
    if ($foruminfo['password']) {
        if ($bbforumpass[$forumid] != md5($foruminfo['password'])) {
             eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_passwordrequired')."\");");
            exit;
        }
    }
} 


showthread.php
Insert on line 114:

PHP Code:


if ($forum['password']) {
    if ($bbforumpass[$forumid] != md5($foruminfo['password'])) {
        eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate('error_passwordrequired')."\");");
        exit;
    }
} 


admin/forum.php
Line 94:

PHP Code:

  makeinputcode("Forum Password<br>(Max length of 50 characters)","password"); 


Change line 129 from:

PHP Code:

  (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid, 


to

PHP Code:

  (password,forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid, 


Change line 119 from:

PHP Code:

  (NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid', 


to

PHP Code:

  ('$password',NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid', 


Insert on line 194:

PHP Code:

makeinputcode("Forum Password<br>(Max length of 50 characters)","password",$forum[password]); 


Change line 242 from:

PHP Code:

moderateattach='$moderateattach' 


to

PHP Code:

moderateattach='$moderateattach',password='$password' 


Templates
Add a template called error_passwordrequired. In it should be this:

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>

i have done everything but how do that?? above??

You can use phpmyadmin or do it from command line if you have shell access to your server

[RaMMSTeiN]

where can i find the PHPadmin?? or the commandline shell....

im just started
a guy had setup our forum, so im a newbee LOL

Do you have telnet or SSH access to your host?

[The Prohacker]

PHP Code:

<?
require(".global.php");
cpheader();
$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE forum ADD password CHAR (50) not null");
echo("Database altered successfully. Please ".makelinkcode("click here","./index.php?s=$session[sessionhash]")." to proceed to your Admin CP");
cpfooter();
?>

Put this in a file called pass-install.php
and upload it to your admin dir, now call it from your browser to install the sql for this hack, after installed, delete pass-install.php.

Hopefully this will help
