Show Thread Enhancements - Thread Passwords (Updated to VB4 by BOP5)

Updated by BirdOPrey5

This is a quick update of the vBulletin 3.6 mod by netwind: Thread Passwords (VB 3.6)

It is marked Re-Usable Code.

NOTE: Confirmed bug affecting all attachments. See post #20.

By request I have updated this to work on the latest vBulletin, VB 4.1.12. It should work on all 4.x versions.

There are NO new features, it is a simple update so it works with 4.x

I will not be providing official support for this mod- truth be told I'm not sure how it works, only that it does in my quick tests.

This is the original description:

This hack allow protect thread by password same way as forums.
Administrator and moderators can change password, can appoint thread masters.
Thread masters can only change password.

All thread content are protected by password : attachments,printable version, archive,
search results. Instant subscription letters will not contain message.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use it.

Okay, Is there an On and Off Switch? I am having trouble finding it. LOL

Settings? as far as settings I am guessing no...


Edit: Tagged.

[BirdOPrey5]

No settings, just install the mod and it's enabled. Once you make the template edits it will be ready to go.

@BirdOPrey5:
Thank you very much, I will install this mod as soon as possible

When someone enters a password (right or wrong) I'm getting a Security Token error. Any ideas?

[BirdOPrey5]

Are cookies enabled? Cookies must be enabled on the browser for the mod to work.

If they are can you give me a link to a password tread? I will see if I can see anything obvious. (Assuming it is guest accessible).

[thunderclap82]

Cookies are enabled, and I've had several users attempt it.

In setting up a post for you I did narrow down the problem. Unregistered users can access the thread after entering the password, however if a registered user tries that's when the security token error pops up.

I do confirm the bug with non-logged-in users. Unfortunately still trying to get a new laptop setup so I don't have access to any of my mod source files right now. Will look into it in a few days when I'm back online.

EDIT-

You could try editing the threadpassword.php file.

Change this line near the top:

From:

PHP Code:

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', true); 

to:

PHP Code:

define('CSRF_PROTECTION', false);
