How can I Password Protect a specific Forum?

Hi all,
How can I Password Protect a specific forum with password in my forum with JavaScript and/or CSS? I have tried some of the tuturials here without success. Furthermore I was red the tutorials in AvacWeb:

Could you help me? Is this code correct? How can I make it work?
I am using the following javascripts:

Code:



var fpass={add:function(a,b,c){a=RegExp("f"+a+"-");a.test(window.location.pathname.substr(1))&&!my_getcookie("forumpass_"+window.location.pathname.substring(1,window.location.pathname.indexOf("-")))&&(window.stop(),prompt(b)==c?my_setcookie("forumpass_"+window.location.pathname.substring(1,window.location.pathname.indexOf("-")),!1):alert("Invalid Password"),window.location.reload())}};


Spoiler:

Code:


fpass.add('1', 'This is a Password Protected Forum. Please Enter the Password:', 'password');

Are these scripts correct or must I put them in one script?

* My Forum Version is PHPBB2.

I am coding a JS mod that will do this; the password protect for forums is a relatively simple patch, but this is not its only function, so it might be a few weeks before it is finished.

Hi, I tested it out on my forum and it worked.

Can you please check if there are scripts conflicting with these code? You can do that by trying to delete one script (Make sure you have a hard copy of it) and see if there'll be an effect to the Password script and then put it back if it doesn't

Hi all,
I have clean all other javascripts and placed these in two javascripts and the codes are:

Javascript For Password Protected Forums

Spoiler:

Code:


fpass.add('71', 'This is a Password Protected Forum. Please Enter the Password:', 'testing');

Main Javascript for forum password protection

Spoiler:

Code:


var fpass={add:function(a,b,c){a=RegExp("f"+a+"-");a.test(window.location.pathname.substr(1))&&!my_getcookie("forumpass_"+window.location.pathname.substring(1,window.location.pathname.indexOf("-")))&&(window.stop(),prompt(b)==c?my_setcookie("forumpass_"+window.location.pathname.substring(1,window.location.pathname.indexOf("-")),!1):alert("Invalid Password"),window.location.reload())}};[/spoiler]

I ve just placed them and I have removed the forum cookies but its not working.

Ok guys I have fix it. I was put the two scripts into one and disabled the Google Analytics Javascript. That JavaScript conflicts the Forum Password Protection Javascript.

Thank you all for your assistance.
