Password Forums all Users (vb3.5) · **Released**: 08-11-2005

*** Password Forums all Users (vBulletin 3.5) ******
** ** ******

************************************

All users no matter the usergroup must enter a password to a forum that has a password.

** Default Install of VB allows:
Administrator = god, can see all do all - passwords on forum are useless.
Super Mod = forum god, do all go every were - password on forums (site wide) are useless.
Forum Mod = can go in and out with no road blocks on the forums they mod.

** What this will do:
With this bit of code a password must be entered from all groups and users that wish to enter a
forum with a password.

It fits my needs. I host forums for on-line gammers that wish to have a password protected forum.
I have Admins and Super Mods (multi-clan mixture) that help run the forums.
I don't need wondering eyes in places that they do not belong.

I have an issue telling someone that they have a privet area that requires a password, and it not be true.
IMO, if you place a PW on something, you need a PW to access it.

When setting passwords on sub-forums:

Apply This Password to Child Forums [x] yes []no

However, this code is not in the functions.php

But

Code:

if (!$password OR ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) OR ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator']) OR can_moderate($forumid))

I beg to differ. This is the entire function. : \includes\functions.php (about line 2970)

Code:

function verify_forum_password($forumid, $password, $showerror = true)
{
	global $vbulletin, $stylevar;

	if (!$password OR ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']) OR ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator']) OR can_moderate($forumid))
	{
		return true;
	}

found it, but as far as I can see in my forum I can still enter the forum without being asked for a password ?!?

Ok, I just tested it with another forum, it seems that this modification does only affects main forums and not subforums ..
