Password Protected Forums (vB3) By Shaolyen email: John@eovie.com msn: John@eovie.com TESTED ON A FRESH vB 2.3.0 -\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/-\/- Introduction ----------------------------------------------------------- This hack is fairly simple in what it does. If a user tries to access a password protected forum, they will be prompted for the password. Once entered correctly they'll be able to browse the forum as normal. It's as simple as that! There are a few extras in this. When a user enters a password and it's verified as being correct, a cookie is sent to their PC containing the password. This will ensure that they don't need to log in every time they access the protected area, until the cookie expires. The cookie timeout time for each protected forum can be set in the AdminCP. (You can choose anything from 1 minute to 1 year.) Password protected forums are denoted by the text "[Password Protected]" tagged on the end of the forum description. If you don't have a forum description for your password protected area, "[Password Protected]" will take its place. Please bear in mind: ? Threads will appear in searches, but the title, author, etc. are all set to "Restricted". A password is needed to access these threads. ? The password in the cookie IS NOT ENCRYPTED. This is for a reason, so the password can be viewable in the AdminCP. If anyone would prefer MD5 encryption in their cookies, let me know. ? In the very near future I will be adding on options to enable MD5 encryption. ? When you specify "Regular Forum Security" in the AdminCP and a password has been entered, that password will not be recorded. Security level, password, and timeout times can be specified when creating or editing a forum.

Installed Xiphoid's fix with amp2000's changes and it still doesn't work.
I am still able to enter a bogus password, hit the back button and then refresh and you can get in... Any clues on how to fix this? |

I have installed the 'fixes' but I can still get in without a password.
If you enter a wrong password you get a second chance to enter one, OK so far, but if you now hit the back button and then the refresh, bingo you are in ... |
