How can you register users for certain period?

[Sun Zaza]

Hello,

I started 2010 with a lot of questions.

How can you register users for certain period? For example:

Via admin area I register the userA for a period of 1 month, after that he wil not be able to log in again.

PS: 4IMAGES has this option for goups, not yet for users

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hey php guys, I don't believe that my request is a mission impossible. Maybe you can give us a hint, tip or something to help me or someone else to code this.

Do not forget: Nothing is impossible. Just give it a try.

I appreciate your reactions,

It's not impossible, it's just I don't think this will be useful many people...


Not tested.
In includes/sessions.php find:
    return $user_info;

Insert above:
    if ($user_info['user_level'] != GUEST && $user_info['user_level'] != ADMIN && $user_info['user_joindate'] < time() - 2678400) //2678400 = 60sec * 60min * 24hours * 31days
      return $this->load_user_info();


If it works, you can easily expand this to an additional field routine and then replace number 2678400 with $user_info['user_expire'] (assuming user_expire is the name of the additional field, which will store the number of seconds before user is become locked out)

Thanks V@no. I will test it later.
