I would like a mod that allows different portions of the board to be automatically blocked from under-aged visitors/members. For example, one of the boards I visit occasionally has an adult humor section - and the mods have to review users by birthdate & manually modify the access lists to let people in after they become of age.
That is a bit more effort than I want to put into it. If we could use a check DOB string and if that particular section of the board had an age restriction in effect, the young'ns would be disallowed.< |

Time to move this one. I'm through with it.
I put a copy on SnitzBitz.
Upon registration, minors (between your minimum age restriction and 21) will automatically be assigned to a minors' usergroup (which denies access to any "Adult" areas) that you create.
When the minor turns 21, they are automatically moved from the minors' usergroup to the members' usergroup and allowed access to those formerly restricted areas.< |

I figured out a way in.
That populates the field. Now to see if the rest works.< |

You missed the fourth-to-last post. I'm modifying register.asp so that new members who are minors will automatically be assigned to a user group which precludes their having access to portions of the board. Thus it definitely does have to do with pending members.
As for strMemberTablePrefix, that isn't the issue; tried that.< |

Pending members have nothing to do with this if I read the topic post correctly.
Also I forgot member tables have a diffrent prefix so it's
strMemberTablePrefix & "MEMBERS< |

Tried both, but until registration is complete, the member remains in the pending table (checked the DBase).< |

Your using the wrong table. i.e. MEMBERS_PENDING not MEMBERS< |

Maybe a fresh eye will help again.
Here's the routine for register.asp - after the else, it continues with adult auto-joining (if applicable):
I'm not getting a value from the age check routine (in red), anyone see why?< |

That fixed part 2, thanks. I had to rewrite part 3, but it now works.
Now I have to rewrite the register.asp portion of automatically assigning people (minors) to the minor User Group and this will be done.< |

I may be off the mark, but I think you're missing something.
strSql = "SELECT USERGROUP_ID FROM " & strTablePrefix & "USERGROUP_USERS " &_
"WHERE MEMBER_ID = " & MemberID
Set rsGroups = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
rsGroups.open strSql, my_Conn
if rsGroups.EOF or rsGroups.BOF then
'some error msg
else
USERGROUP_ID = rsGroups("USERGROUP_ID")
end if
rsGroups.close
set rsGroups = Nothing

Here's a routine I wrote for this purpose; it's not doing what I expect it to do, and I'll drive myself batty figuring out why.
Part 1 (in red) works. I've done an output to screen of MMAge and got what I needed.
Part 2 (in green) does not work. It doesn't retrieve the UserGroup_ID from the table. Thus, part 3 is never called and the process fails.< |

In the bottom of inc_func_member.asp, there are routines which calculate a member's age from DOB. They're tiny, so I'll include them.
I have tried calling this function in several ways to get an age for comparison, but I get a variety of "you're so dumb" messages from my debugger. Would somebody who's used to this bit lend a hand?< |

I meant FORUM oops. I'll have time next Thursday to work on it if you don't get there first.< |

could you not add another moderation level for age?
maybe modify the forum posting restriction mod? (http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=6220) (download of the file can be located a few posts down from http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=66878&SearchTerms=mad2kool)
or maybe you coudl modify the User level moderation mod (found here http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=39014)
1 of these mods must be able to do what you need with a little bit of tweaking< |
