Password Forums all Users

Works on VB3 Beta5 - VB 3.7++

Credit:
Many users and DEV members

Features:
All users must enter a password to a forum that has a password.


Story:
The default install of the forums works on a group access.

Admin = god, can see all do all - no PW on priv areas.
Super Mod = Forum god, do all go every were- no PW on priv areas.


With this bit of code a PW must be entered from all groups and users that wish to enter a forum with a password.

Open:
includes/functions.php


Search:

if (!$password OR ($permissions['adminpermissions'] & CANCONTROLPANEL) OR ($permissions['adminpermissions'] & ISMODERATOR) OR can_moderate($forumid))


Change to: 

if (!$password)

Worked @ 3.0.1 but not @ 3.0.3

When I enter a protected forum and reenter it a day later I do not have to type the password again. Is it stored in the cookie?

[gmtalk]

Aye this is not working in 3.0.2 or 3.0.3 now.

[gmtalk]

any updates to this? Noticed it died in 302 and 303 I have rehacked after upgrade and its not working.

[grov]

I really need this for vB 3.0.3. This is because IF an admin or supermod accidently don't logout on a public computer, noone should be able to view our secret rooms.. Someone please help me!

[Zachariah]

I'll see what I can do. I have not updated my VB from 3.01 yet - been busy. I'll install a test ver of 3.03 on a local test server. (it will take forever to update my current forums.)
