Force valid Registration year

This modification forces new users to enter a valid calendar date before they are allowed to continue registration on your forum. Users are prevented from registering if older than 110 years.

In register.php

find:

PHP Code:

if ($year < ($current['year'] - 13) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 13) AND $month <= $current['month'])) 


Above it put:

PHP Code:

if ($year < $current['year']-110)
    {
            eval(print_standard_error('error_too_old'));
    } 


add a new phrase in AdminCP..

Type: Front-End Error Message
VarName: too_old
Text: Sorry, but you must be living to join the site.

change the 110 above to however many years back you want it to limit membership.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=105297 this is one that makes sure that people post their age - because a lot of my members were leaving the year empty.

its pretty simple to make sure the person is over 18 with a hack like that, but then the lie about their age on sign up - its better to let them join , and use an Age limit Hack on the forums u dont want them entering - like this one ... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=Age+limit

3.5.x has this feature built-in! guess they liked the idea

it is set to recognize 1901 and later dates
