How do I....

How do I Protect the Required Information after a new user has registered so that they will not maliciously change their personnal information?

Help Please.... :bunny:

which required fields do you mean?
the standart one, or custom fields?

if you mean the standart like emails or such open members.php
find:

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='".addslashes($birthday)."',signature='".addslashes($signature)."',customtitle='".intval($customtitle)."',usertitle='".addslashes($customtext)."',email='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',parentemail='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."',coppauser='$coppauser',homepage='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."',aim='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'"); 


and delete out the variables which shouldn't change

for custom fields find that code in members.php (update user section):

PHP Code:

$profilefields=$DB_site->query("SELECT profilefieldid,required,title,size,maxlength
                                  FROM profilefield
                                  WHERE editable = 1"); 


and replace it with:

PHP Code:

$profilefields=$DB_site->query("SELECT profilefieldid,required,title,size,maxlength
                                  FROM profilefield
                                  WHERE editable = 1 AND required = 0"); 


i think this should do it.

I added some required fields (Personnal Info) that each user has to enter to gain access to the forums BUT after a-mail verification I do not want them to be able to change what they entered on the required fields.

We want to be able to have accurate information in our database when we give the individuals authorization to BETA test the games being developed.

ok..before i test it out....

If people have already registered after I added new required fields (personnal information) will they be able to add the new required information?
