Community Add-Ons

With this modification now you can add multiple categories IDs to restrict.

Also adding any parent ID will allow you to restrict all sub categories under that

Follow instructions ;)

That's all folks !

I've noticed that when using this contribution the spiders like Googlebot would not be allowed our website restricted category and are redirected with a 302.
so I've created an spider detect script to allow the spiders to the restricted categorie.

find inside application_top.php this line:

$restricted_category = (AGE_PAGE_CATEGORY);


en replace with extra function spider detect

function spiderDetect() {
$agentArray = array("ArchitextSpider", "Googlebot", "TeomaAgent",
"Zyborg", "Gulliver", "Architext spider", "FAST-WebCrawler",
"Slurp", "Ask Jeeves", "ia_archiver", "Scooter", "Mercator",
"crawler@fast", "Crawler", "InfoSeek Sidewinder",
"almaden.ibm.com", "appie 1.1", "augurfind", "baiduspider",
"bannana_bot", "bdcindexer", "docomo", "frooglebot", "geobot",
"henrythemiragorobot", "sidewinder", "lachesis", "moget/1.0",
"nationaldirectory-webspider", "naverrobot", "ncsa beta",
"netresearchserver", "ng/1.0", "osis-project", "polybot",
"pompos", "seventwentyfour", "steeler/1.3", "szukacz",
"teoma", "turnitinbot", "vagabondo", "zao/0", "zyborg/1.0",
"Lycos_Spider_(T-Rex)", "Lycos_Spider_Beta2(T-Rex)",
"Fluffy the Spider", "Ultraseek", "MantraAgent","Moget",
"T-H-U-N-D-E-R-S-T-O-N-E", "MuscatFerret", "VoilaBot",
"Sleek Spider", "KIT_Fireball", "WISEnut", "WebCrawler",
"asterias2.0", "suchtop-bot", "YahooSeeker", "ai_archiver",
"Jetbot"
);

$theAgent = $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"];

for($i=0;$i<count($agentArray);$i++){
if(strpos(" ".strtolower($theAgent), strtolower($agentArray[$i]))!= false){
return true;
};
};
return false;
}



/* START age code mfg */



if(spiderDetect()){
$restricted_category = 99999;
}else{
$restricted_category = (AGE_PAGE_CATEGORY);
}


this function detect if user_agent is spider and then the $restricted_category will be 99999
so it doesn't show the age_page.php

if it doesn't detect a spider the $restricted_category wil be (AGE_PAGE_CATEGORY);
and uses the given number for the categorie you have given to AGE_PAGE_CATEGORY inside admin


This is my first addon, hope you like te use of it ;-)

This an undated version, that fixes some variables not configured correctly & in English.

Enjoy

Full package

now you can configure the restricted category in the Admin, also the redirect page for customers over 18 years and the url for customers under 18 years.

full package

Slight amendment to install instructions.

Used to prevent access to a category untill the user has agreed that they are over 18 (or legal age in your community).

Ideal for things like adult section in DVD shop etc...

Enjoy.
