What exactly does this mod lock? Because I can't for the life of me keep people out of an area restricted to 18+. I've removed the ability to search these forums as well as added an exclude code directly to threadbit so that they don't show up on new posts. But yet, people get inn...

Got it to work. Copied the content of the "Age Check - Forum Display" plugin over to "Age Lock - Show Thread"

Well done mate, that works a treat on 3.6.5

thanks

Fair comments

We would get users signing up with over age b/day but if they never knew or sussed this out then they might not be none the wiser, so can the phrases in the vbulletin message be changed just to show a no permission phrase

just what i was after thx m8 :P

[wolfe]

m8 in the plugin Age Lock - Global Setup your missing " . TABLE_PREFIX . "

was

function agelock_check($fid){
global $db, $vbulletin;
$agelock_qry = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM forum WHERE forumid='".$fid."'");
$agelock_ret['locked'] = $agelock_qry['agelock']; 
$agelock_ret['method'] = $agelock_qry['agelock_method'];
$agelock_ret['age'] = $agelock_qry['agelock_age'];
$pre_year=date("Y"); 
$pre_month=date("m"); 
$pre_day=date("d"); 
$bday = explode("-", $vbulletin->userinfo['birthday']);

if($pre_month>$bday[0] || ($bday[0]==$pre_month && $pre_day>=$bday[1]) ){
$j = $pre_year-$bday[2];
}else{
$j = $pre_year-$bday[2]-1;
}
$agelock_ret['userage'] = $j;
return $agelock_ret;
}

so it should be

function agelock_check($fid){
global $db, $vbulletin;
$agelock_qry = $db->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum WHERE forumid='".$fid."'");
$agelock_ret['locked'] = $agelock_qry['agelock']; 
$agelock_ret['method'] = $agelock_qry['agelock_method'];
$agelock_ret['age'] = $agelock_qry['agelock_age'];
$pre_year=date("Y"); 
$pre_month=date("m"); 
$pre_day=date("d"); 
$bday = explode("-", $vbulletin->userinfo['birthday']);

if($pre_month>$bday[0] || ($bday[0]==$pre_month && $pre_day>=$bday[1]) ){
$j = $pre_year-$bday[2];
}else{
$j = $pre_year-$bday[2]-1;
}
$agelock_ret['userage'] = $j;
return $agelock_ret;
}

Got another problem with this now. I am getting constant mails from people complaining that they cant see the locked forums, I check their user account to see that the DOB is missing. I then correct it and every time they edit their user account the DOB dissappears and I have to edit the account again.

Has anyone got a clue as to what is happening here?

[cajunboy2208]

I would like to have my guests be able to view my adult section, that way they can look and see what we have to offer and then sign up. Any way this is possible?

[tester987654]

basically what it is doing is,
when we try to view a forum, its checking for age restiction but when we try to view a single thread, its not checking at all,

may be developer will come with a solution for it.
