One small hack please. :)

[jonnerd154]

I need one small hack,

2. Prohibiting users from registering with an unreal birth year such as 0000. Maybe only allowing 1900 - [TodaysDate] would be a good idea.

Any takers? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: Removed first hack request due to reply #2 of this thread.

The first one doesn't need a hack.
You can use the promotion system to do that

In register.php

find:

PHP Code:

if ($year < ($current['year'] - 13) OR ($year == ($current['year'] - 13) AND $month <= $current['month'])) 


Above it put:

PHP Code:

if ($year < $current['year']-110)
    {
            eval(print_standard_error('error_too_old'));
    } 


add a new phrase in AdminCP..

Type: Front-End Error Message
VarName: too_old
Text: Sorry, but you must be living to join the site.

change the 110 above to however many years back you want it to limit membership.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

funny, you can release this in the Mini-Hacks, this is completely useful!

Yeah, I kept having people register with bogus years then spam my board with pr0n. Now they have to take a few extra seconds to register.
