Miscellaneous Hacks - AgeLock v3.5

Age Lock is an all-in-one Forum locking facility that works off the users age instead of there permissions
It gives you the ability to keep those Under 18's out of your adult section


Change log
+ Added support for CMS (Blog locking is there but not usable (99.9% sure blog locking is prob. pointless, since all users would be able to age restrict posts))
+ Enable/Disable Guest Viewing of age locked forums
+ Moved Age Lock core from outdated hook (global_start) to new (global_bootstrap_init_start)
+ Removed defunct Error message
+ Added abillity to re-enable Date of Birth Editing for all users
+ Fixed Bug where Date of birth editing is still disabled for users who are exempt from Age Lock
+ Reworded Default Age Lock Messages
+ Added support for multi-level forum locking using parent lock state (instead of parent-->forum, now parent-->forum-->subforum-->..)
+ Removed over zelus agelock checking (No more queries to get lock state)
+ Removed vb 3.x support

3.5a Fixes
+ Fixed CMS bugs (missing table prefix)
+ Updated template edit to work with Vb 4.1.5

3.5b Fixes
+ Really fixes the CMS bugs (Sorry )

Please be aware although support is provided it is limited. This version is in beta so expect bugs!

enjoy

Installed, great mod thanks.

The plus side is when a member signs up they are more likely to post there real age then discover they need to be 18 to access that section.

With Adult sections you can never be 100% sure your letting in over 18's only, but as long as you are seen to be trying that is what is important.

Can you improvit to adslock. Like person who use adblocker addon on firefox can't view forum. It will be great addon maybe best addon of the year.

Hell of a hack! requesting to integrate with DownloadsII. Tagged.

Can we have it like this please?
+ Minor will never see any adult corner. Any post or thread or forum. Not even from any search.
+Lets have an option under "Quick Links" for adults like, "Switch on/off Agelock". So that Adults also get chance to switch it ON in front of any minors from there family and later they can go back to switch it off.

On a side note if you dont need the mod fine dont use it but dont go around calling mods pointless, at the end of the day you may not need it but someone else may, i wrote this mod a while back and 100+ installs dont seem to show it being pointless!

Stuie

I guess your right but i already pay for a facility that age checks people using their credit card details if they choose to enter 18+.

It's a pricey plugin but you cannot lie about your age then, after all i wouldnt want my kids to lie about their age and then see something they shouldnt causing a whole lot of problems.

Hi!

I just installed this mod, but i get a error code in visitor view.

I've a 100% Adult forum haha.

Lets say i blocked a forum and sub-forum and then i go to open internet explorer (for testing) as a visitor, and try to open another section of the website (that i haven't lock) and i get this

PHP Code:

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4085

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4085

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4085

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4085 


And the rest of the page is messed up.

My board threads aren't allowed to be view by unregistered members anyway, but even if i disable that the problems still there.

Right now the mod is disable, cuz i don't know what the hell?

Thanks for the help and the mod!!

Im having a similar problem, in that it doesnt affect my whole board, it just shows up when a person enters a wrong password to login to the board - it does this in any browser for me when the add-on is enabled, disabling it solves this however, i would rather be able to use it!

Also mine isnt line 4085 mine is line 4124 in functions.php

Otherwise it is a good add-on ^^

[EDIT]I solved my problem by turning off the option should i hide the forum on the main Index? in the Agelock settings[/EDIT]

[stuie_b]

the problem has been identified and I'll be releasing a fix asap,

as a quick fix, add @ to the forumdisplay_start hook

Stuie, I got some requests please.

AgeLock v3.1A

Fixed Cannot use a scalar value
Fixed homepage notification bug (shows even when agelock is globally disabled)

For those with v3.0 already installed, the changes can be made without having to uninstall v3.0B and then install v3.1A,

Edit Plugin "global_start"

FIND

if($vbulletin->options['agelock_global'] and $vbulletin->options['agelock_hidemain']){
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache as $key => $value){
    if (agelock_check($vbulletin->forumcache[$key]['forumid'],1)){
		$vbulletin->forumcache[$key] =0;
		 }
}
}

REPLACE WITH

if($vbulletin->options['agelock_global'] and $vbulletin->options['agelock_hidemain']){
foreach ($vbulletin->forumcache as $key => $value){
    if (agelock_check($vbulletin->forumcache[$key]['forumid'],1)){
		unset($vbulletin->forumcache[$key]);
		 }
}
}

Template Edit
"forumhome_forumbit_level1_post And forumhome_forumbit_level2_post"

FIND

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['agelock_frmnt'] AND $forum['agelock']">{vb:raw $vboptions['agelock_frmntm']}</vb:if>

REPLACE WITH

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['agelock_frmnt'] AND $forum['agelock'] AND $vboptions['agelock_global']">{vb:raw $vboptions['agelock_frmntm']}</vb:if>

However the new version of AgeLock now allows you to specify Usergroup are exempt from the Agelock check, this requires a full update!
