Force valid Registration year · **Released**: 03-11-2005

This modification forces new users to enter a valid calendar date before they are allowed to continue registration on your forum. Users are prevented from registering if older than 110 years.

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.

I have a feeling this will be installed more for the comedic value rather than it's usefulness..

This is a nice little addon

thanks for sharing... however I would definetly add more years to that... I think we may insult someone if we leave it a 110 lol

thank you corollasbest for sharing with the community

Something else could also be added to this..

Code:

	if ($year > $current['year'])
	{
		eval(print_standard_error('error_too_young'));
	}

Anything later than the current year, is too an invalid Date of Birth..

this is a half way hack. In a way its good with the hack I made. the combo would be awsome that way they have to put an age AND its forced 18 and up or what ever you prefer:

the point with your hack T3, is that not all boards need to be 18+ ... forcing birthday dates is not needed to everybody.

any good hack is good (hey, i'm the one to find this sentence!)

I agree, that addition would work too with a new phrase.

I just have the COPPA enabled on my site, so under 13 ins't allowed to register anyway.. somebody born in 5000 AD equates to being -2995 yrs old and too young to register :nervous:

could this code be mod'd to prevent person under 18 registering? and if so how?
