Miscellaneous Hacks - Age based premissions for registering and viewing forums

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.

i'm very interested in this hack, BUT i need this hack only if i can set a min. age to view a SPECIFIC forum no only for the registrations ... can you improve it?

Set the registration age to 0 to disable it. This plug-in does allow you to set the age for a specific forum. Simply edit the forum and at the bottom you should see the option.

Thanks ickie, I'll add some instructions.

Good hack and installed but notice on a test run guest won't be able to view content of post like using the default rule and until they register .It will be nice to add a disclaimer then they'll be allow to view.

Good idea puertoblack2003, I'll expand it so they are shown the age form and a cookie is set with their age. However I want to make sure there are no problems with this one so I probably won't implement it until Friday.
