The Idiot Test · **Released**: 03-07-2005

I got sick and tired of people signing up at my forum and not being able to use proper grammar or spell anything correctly, soo I went ahead and made this nifty little addon that helps turn away some of those people.

This is real simple to add to your page, you can do it a number of ways, the way I did it was change the button Register that linked to register.php to link to test.php

After I did that, I put this inside test.php

Code:

<?php
require("./global.php");
$templatesused = "idiottest";

if($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']==checkmoron) {

$idiotword .= $HTTP_POST_VARS['word'];

if ($idiotword != Grammar) {
	eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_noregister")."\");");
    	exit;
    }
   elseif ($idiotword == Grammar) { 
   	header("Location: http://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/register.php?action=signup");
   	exit;
   }
   else { exit; };
}
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("test_idiottest")."\");");
?>

That would either send them to the register screen, or kick them back to admin has disabled registration.

Then I created the template test_idiottest and put this inside it

Code:

{htmldoctype}
<html>
<head>
<title>$bbtitle Registration</title>
$headinclude
</head>
<body>

$header

<br>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%"><font face=verdana size=2>This is a simple test to see if you are fit to register on these forums. The test is so simple that if you fail, you may not register and must go back to the main page.

And that was it! That should take care of those pesky kids who can't spell their own name, and help you keep your sanity :lick:

screw you all. the guy made a hack, and you can give constructive critisicm, but he released it for YOU guys. instead of calling him an idiot, you can just say thanks, but no thanks.

i happen to think the hack was a nice thing of him to post, yet i just dont want to turn away foreign people who can't spell good.

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