Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=237)
This modification allows you to set a password on a per board basis. Users will be required to enter the password on the board index prior to being able to view any of that board's content.
Administrators and Moderators on that board (global moderators included) are exempt from having to enter the password.
This modification does not protect child boards.
This modification was tested using SMF 1.1 RC2. It may or may not work with RC1.
SMF 1.0.5 is up. Make sure you grab the correct file.

This is a nice mod! :)
But i wudnt recommend it
because passwords can be easily leaked
making use of usergroups for limited access is a better way! :)
Gr8 mod tho! thnx! :)

Ok I found it, go ahead and delete the line
'passwd' => $row['passwd'],
near 1094.
It was due to the package manager finding two lines like the one I told it to search for. I'll find a better search to use.

I have corrected the problem in 1.0.5 (Doesn't appear the problem was in the SMF 1.1 version).
There is a new package up with the change and its upgradable.

The user only needs to enter the password once per session. I figured that would be the least obstrusive way while maintaining some level of security.
As far as the upgrade part is concerned, that is for 1.0.5 ONLY.

I have installed the mod and enabled password on two boards in Manage Boards section. But when I enter the password that we have kept for these two boards on the Board Index, it gives an error saying incorrect password. When we try entering it again on the error page, it doesn't accept it. We have tried different browsers- I.E., Opera, Firefox, Netscape... but no help. Any help please.

You could use the same idea. Add a password column to smf_topics and then on the post page give an option to password the topic. Then change Post.php and Subs-Post.php to insert the password when its posted. Then change Load.php to look for the password when you enter a topic.

I have the same problem, when i enter the password for the board on the error page it does nothing and this goes on forever.
Then when i go to the manage boards/modify board the field for the password is filled with dots, alot more then i typed in as a password so in other words it's creating it's own passwords, reseting has no effect.
Any idea why? http://forum.sirfanaticsholland.com/index.php the board DVD's is protected with password.

No it won't solve anything, but it might let me know why its not working. Also don't worry it won't show the actual password just the result of the hashing that is stored.

Using the change from above you should get something like:
Gave password: bleh which hashed to <br />
<some 32 character hash> correct hash is
<another 32 character hash> but lets make sure its not the fake passwd
<a third 32 character hash>
I want those lines from the error page

For those of you having problems with this mod:
Do any of the board names contain any type of special characters like ' & " etc?
If so can you try it on a board without those special characters?

Hehehe, it worked like a charm.... i had a board called DVD's :P
Why is it that the password does'nt work with special characters?
I think i can delete that code what you posted in the previous post?
Big thumbs up for the help ;)

Yeah you can delete the code I provided earlier. The board name is prefixed to the password prior to being hashed, however it does it after the forum does some work to the name to make it safe to put in the database. I need to look to see if the board name after that point is different the board name at the point where it checks the password.
If you all are feeling really helpful you can try it moving one thing for me and seeing if it works with special characters.
In file ManageBoards.php
1.0.5:
Find
$_POST['passwdBoard'] = !empty($_POST['passwdBoard']) ? sha1($_POST['board_name'].$_POST['passwdBoard']) : '';
and moving it above
$_POST['board_name'] = preg_replace('~[&]([^;]{8}|[^;]{0,8}$)~', '&$1', $_POST['board_name']);
1.1:
Find
if ( $_POST['passwdBoard'] != "#FAKEPASSWORD" )
$boardOptions['passwd'] = !empty($_POST['passwdBoard']) ? sha1($boardOptions['board_name'].$_POST['passwdBoard']) : '';
And move it above
$boardOptions['board_description'] = preg_replace('~[&]([^;]{8}|[^;]{0,8}$)~', '&$1', $_POST['desc']);
In both cases the code you are moving it above should be right before what you are trying to find. Also in both cases you'll need to go reset your password for the board. Make sure you actually type it out otherwise it won't update.

Hey,
being new to simple machines forums (which are brilliant, well done!) I have just installed my first mod, being the passward mod by MikeMill.
I have sucessfully installed the mod, but I have been looking around for half an hour now and I cant figure out how to set a password on an individual board! How do I do it?
Thanks!

"This modification was tested using SMF 1.1 RC2. It may or may not work with RC1." I guess you wanted to say "This modification was tested using SMF 1.1 RC1. It may or may not work with RC2." In fact it isn't working with RC2. The installer tells there are some errors applying the mod, and asks if you're sure to do it. With RC1 worked fine, the pity is I upgraded to RC2 and now I can downgrade the files, but not the database (external server with only myPHPAdmin and lazy admins). So I have to stick up to RC2. Are you working in a version compliant with this new release?

Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.
Installations actions for "Password Protect Boards":
Installing this package will perform the following actions:
Type Action Description
1. Execute Modification ./Sources/Load.php Test failed
2. Execute Modification ./Sources/BoardIndex.php Test failed
3. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManageBoards.php Test failed
4. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php Test successful
5. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/ManageBoards.template.php Test successful
6. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php Test successful
7. Execute Code add_settings.php
8. Extract File ./Sources/passwdBoard.php
9. Extract File ./Themes/default/passwdBoard.template.php
I haven't got any other mod installed, it's a fresh upgrade from RC1 to RC2. What should I do?
Nevermind, I downloaded the right mod from here, not from the Packages option. Running fine now. Thanks. :)

I have one question about coding. In my site, I have an "admins" group besides the actual administrator user, that have full admin privileges given by the maintenance group. But they can't access password protected boards, as the admin and the moderators do. The question is, how could I check out if an user belongs to the maintenance group? And, if this can't be done, how could I know if an user belongs to an X group number? In this case, the co-admins group is the #9 one.
I know the sentences that check out users' groups are these ones, but I don't know how should I ask the board about the maintenance privileges or about a certain group:
Any idea?
I know the sentences that check out users' groups are these ones, but I don't know how should I ask the board about the maintenance privileges or about a certain group:
Code Select
// Can they view this board?
if ( !$user_info['is_admin'] && !$user_info['is_mod'] && $board_info['passwd'] && !in_array($board, $_SESSION['board_access']) )Any idea?

Nevermind, I did it. :D For people interested in doing that, here is the solution, with changes made to sources/Load.php showed between >>> and <<<:
This allows group #9 to bypass the password protection. But only usergroup #9. If you know how to do it for all maintenance groups, please let me know.
Code Select
'is_admin' => in_array(1, $user_info['groups']),
>>>'is_coadmin' => in_array(9, $user_info['groups']),<<<
'theme' => empty($user_settings['ID_THEME']) ? 0 : $user_settings['ID_THEME'],
[...]
// Can they view this board?
if ( !$user_info['is_admin'] >>>&& !$user_info['is_coadmin']<<< && !$user_info['is_mod'] && $board_info['passwd'] && !in_array($board, $_SESSION['board_access']) )This allows group #9 to bypass the password protection.

I have a small question. No big deal really. The other day one of my members was screwing around as a guest to see if he could get any info out of the password protected boards. He found out that if you search for info with the search in smf you will find info from boards that are password protected. Is there anyway to stop ppl from being able to get info from a search. (Hope that makes sense)

I have a request to make:
can't you do anything about supporting child boards? :-[
or, is there any other mod that can help me password protect an entire category, its forums and child forums? :w00t:

I have an ideea! Is more simple just to set off showing children boards of a board?
For example. i have a board with more children boards that is public, for everyuser/guest to see, there children boards cand be shown in index but i have one more board, that is password protected where i don't want the children boards to see in the indes, only if you enter de password protected board you cand see the children of that board.
Is this possible with just some simple modificationes of some files? ??? ??? ::)

I am as anxious as you are for a resolution. The "natives" on my site are getting restless :D

PS ... if you think its in the Password Protect load.php ... I wonder if we can just add it in ourselves someplace???

Why don't you try it instead of posting topic after topic about this in the support boards???

You have to edit the MOD's .xml file, NOT Load.php in RC3

Sverre ... I apologize for not fully understanding your original post ... and apparently trying your patience.
When it finally sunk in what you were "attempting" to tell me with your second post ... I just gritted my teeth ... edited the mods install.xml file ... zipped it into a new package. AND IT WORKED.
Most surprisingly ... it worked for me. First time I edited an XML file ... first time I tried to zip something.
Thank you VERY much for your assistance ... from myself & my forum membership.
Again ... if I got on your "wrong side" ... I am sorry.

It would be greatb to have an update of this. I also have one question, in our forum, we want to be able to have clans who are members at us having private discussions on some password protected boards, so would it be possible to make the password protected forums need passwords from mods, global mods and admins as well? How do we do this if so?

I get something even weirder, when I install the mod, I get a double password box in the "Modify Boards" section. When I enable a password, I need to enter it in both boxes otherwise it doesn't work.
Secondly, I get a double password box on each board index and then I need to enter the password twice in order to enter the board.
Third, when I'm trying to uninstall the buggy mod, it uninstalls, but I then I can't access my board index and it only shows
Either, how do I make the mod work or how do I uninstall it?

Sounds like you have double code. You need to check your code installation manually and remove the extra snippets.

Hi all.
I installed the mod on Ver 1.1.2
Got an error with "BoardIndex.template.php".
OK, I thought, mayne no problem :D
I made a backup of this file and installed a fresh one from the install package of 1.1.2.
All was OK then. Fine install and fine mod.
Then I compared the 2 files and copied the new text to my old template.
Voila !

When you protect a board, the child boards are not protected.
You can go with a direct link into the boards.
Or you protect the child boards, too.
But then you have to give a password for the board and then a password for the child board.

It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

man.. I just can't figure out what's wrong with this add-on.
I uploadit to the server, install it and all is good. However, when I go to a board's page to try and set a password, I don't see all the options I should see. I just see a small box where I guess the password needs to go. I put it in and bingo. the board is passowrd protected but any attempt to enter it results in an error.
just weird

I think that this mod isn''t supported or ugraded anymore. If you read through the posts a couple of pages before someone has attached a password mod from another site that works fine with smf 1.1.2, but I have to caution you that if you want to use that, do so at your own risk. I just tested that mod in my test forum and it worked fine, but personally I would advise anyone against installing mods that aren''t downloaded from this very site.

Then I should suggest to uninstall it. There are some other mods which can be used to keep a certain group of members away from a certain board, not by setting a requirement to enter a password like this mod does, but by checking the permissions.
By the way, when you installed that mod first, did it gave you any error message or none?

the install itself was fine! I only noticed the error when I checked the error log.
then, after i set-up one of the boards with a password, I went to enter said password . Once I did that, I just landed in a page with a box to enter the password and an error message

Quote from: babjusi on July 09, 2007, 04:18:57 PMPersonally I think this would be a very 'bloat' feature to have. Why? Because there is already a much more convenient and secure way to handle board access. Passwords get leaked easily and you can set up group access without nagging the user to type in a password once per login session. Maybe it is a 'fun' thing to have for some, but I think this would definitely be better as a mod.Quote from: ExistenZ on July 09, 2007, 04:01:38 PM

The only thing is that I don't want 10 000 usergroups to allow different people access to different places.
That is why passwords are a nice thing to have.
And you are probably right - they are a nice-to-have, but it would be so much nicer if it were default. Or, at least, the mod was updated regularly.

I actually switched forums from "Vanilla" to "SMF" just a few months back and this mod was one of the elements that swang the balance, alas.. when it was time to use it. it was incompatible. I ended up having to create so many different user profiles just to do what this mod could have allowed.

You can use it on newer SMF versions at your own risk by using version emulate:
Put ;emulate_version=1.1 RC2 at the end of the Package Manager URL
Put ;emulate_version=1.1 RC2 at the end of the Package Manager URL

I just found that if you do not set the board permissions right, any member can see the posts in password protected boards simply by clicking 'View the most recent posts on the forum' link.
Any way to bypass this?

- Protect Child Board
- Work with current version of SMF
I know you can use member groups and such but that is just a HASSLE. So what if passwords are leaked THEY CAN BE CHANGED :D WOW.
Some ppl would LOVE this ability.
