Age based premissions for registering and viewing forums · **Released**: 01-09-2007

This is based on this 3.5 plug-in. Although it uses the same hook locations and similar phrases, I ended up recoding it so none of the original code is used. To install simply download and install the XML file via the Plugin & Product manager. You can then alter the registration requirements via the vBulletin Settings option and the minimum age to view a specific forum by editing it using the forum manager - again it should appear near the bottom.

New features:

Updated for vBulletin 3.6.4 (should work on 3.6.x)
More accurate (the previous only checked month and year).

Original features:

Specify minimum age required to register.
Limit access to forums based on age.

Disclaimer:
Because users can lie about their age, this many not fulfil the legal requirements for adult content. I accept no responsibility for how this is used.

You're free to do what you like with this code, although credit is appreciated, it's not required.

the only problem i found so far is that when u have birthdays enabled it doesnt inherit the input that u have added in the previous option and the user can is asked to reenter birthday and even that i select a birthday of less than 18 years old it got accepted. so its bugged

Good point, I'll fix that.

I tried this on our forums. We have forums for 18+ and it works great... but only if the user has a year entered in their birthday. If there is no year it still lets them view the content.

maybe you can set that the age is required

Don't worry, I have it fixed on localhost, I just need to add the guest cookie idea before releasing an update.

I've uploaded the XML via the Product & Plugin menu, do I also have to upload it to my includes/xml folder?
If not, where are the config options for it in AdminCP?

Great job on this, as I have a multi aged City forums that now they are requesting an online dating/personal service and this will come in handy! Thanks for the hack!

No you don't.

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