Password Required Before Updating Profile · **Released**: 10-30-2002

It was requested by some members on my forums, so I made it and released it

Hope you like it guys. Feedback is welcome!

Description: With this tiny hack your users will be required to enter their current password before they make any changes to their profile. Useful when your members reads your forums in a public computer (like in school) and they forget to clear the cookies. So other people won't change their profile information maliciously.

Download the file and follow the instructions!

Thanks.

I think it would be annoying, but there you go

Nice idea though

Thanks for the comments... Yeah, maybe this hack isn't necessary on some boards, but it's useful to anothers,

I think you have to provide a field to fill in password, something like

Code:

<tr bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">
	<td><b><normalfont>Your current password:</normalfont></b>(You have to provide your password in order to change your profile)
	<normalfont><input type="password" class="bginput" name="currentpassword" value="" size="30" maxlength="30"></normalfont></td>
</tr>

before you submit the modify profile form in modifyprofile template

I can't believe I forgot to put the template edit. Anyway, thanks mtha for the comment. Attachment updated.

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