Changing Login Strikes?

[Thomas P]

Hello,

I want to change the strikes to 3 times and the time to wait to 25 Minutes.

Is the code all in functions_login.php?

Is this all?

	if ($strikes['strikes'] >= 3 AND $strikes['lasttime'] > TIMENOW - 1500)
	{ //they've got it wrong 5 times or greater for any username at the moment

		if (($strikes_user['strikes'] % 3 == 0) AND $user = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT userid, username, email, languageid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user WHERE username = '" . $vbulletin->db->escape_string($username) . "' AND usergroupid <> 3"))
		{ // they've got it wrong 5 times for this user lets email them
			$ip = IPADDRESS;
			eval(fetch_email_phrases('accountlocked', $user['languageid']));
			vbmail($user['email'], $subject, $message, true);
		}

		// the user is still not giving up so lets keep increasing this marker
		exec_strike_user($username);

		if (!$supress_error)
		{
			eval(standard_error(fetch_error('strikes', $vbulletin->options['bburl'], $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'])));
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	}
	else if ($strikes['strikes'] > 3)
	{ // a bit sneaky but at least it makes the error message look right
		$strikes['strikes'] = 3;
	}

This should do it, right?

Thanks,
Tom

Why don't you just test it, on a test board, and find out?

Outcome is a bit confusing, so I ask.

One account has 4 tries, another only 2 when I change it to a.m. code.
Maybe same IP, maybe wrong code part... ?

anyone?
