charge donator days for name change.

[PHPDevil]

This is a small mod, my first one aswell.

Basically when someone wants to change their username it will charge them a set amount of donator days to prevent them from changing it time and time again.

The file you want to work with will be preferences.php

We want to check that the user has enough donator days firstly to be charged! (For my example I'll use eight but you can use whatever amount you like)

First find this code in the do name change function.

Next we want to update the database to deduct the eight donator days IF the name change is succesful so find this code first in the same do name change function. Should be a bit lower then the previous code

That should really be it. Any issues let me know. Remember it is my first mod so I ain't aware of any security problems with that at the moment.

Added some simple security to the Username as well.

Your using a pretty old mc2 version with that code there. Why dont you download the latest?

If your not aware of the security or lack of it with the code you posted PHPDevil then you should go read up on it. Basic PHP as David has pointed out.

Or maybe the update was not recommended for exsisting games if I remember correctly.

If you wish to place the 2.0.5 files over your (UNMODIFIED) 2.0.4 ones you can do so without having to make any database changes.
