phpBB force login hack

By admin | December 16, 2008

To set up a private forum in phpBB, you could simply make all the forums “No Access” to guests and bots. But if they can still view your member list and profiles, that is a security leak. Here is a patch to remedy that by forcing the guest or bot to login before they can see the forum:

  1. Open up index.php from your phpBB installation.
  2. After line 25 (“$auth->acl($user->data);“), add the following code:
    // Hack to disable anonymous viewing
    if ($user->data[‘user_id’] == ANONYMOUS || $user->data[‘is_bot’])
    {
    login_box();
    } else {
  3. After the line “page_header($user->lang[‘INDEX’]);“, add the following code:
    // end hack to disable anonymous viewing
    };
  4. Re-upload index.php to your web server. Don’t forget to clear your cache and log out to see the effect.
