Block Anon/Guests from viewing a forum

I took a few scripts and combined them to make this script.

Anyways the idea is pretty simple, I want to prevent guests and anon users from viewing a specific forum. If you think it is okay I thought someone might want to clean it up and post it. So far as I can tell it works just fine.

Disclaimer: Any of these scripts can be bypassed easily by someone with minimal computer experience.

You will also need the EZURL script.

Change the frm21 to the forum number you wish to protect.

Change the www.domain.com/noanon.html to the web page you wish to redirect guests or anonymous viewers to.

Box 1:

  
<script type="text/javascript">
/* BLOCK ANONYMOUS & GUEST FROM VIEWING A SPECIFIC FORUM Based largely on phalenl80 scripts*/
function ProtectForum() {
if ( (!ezPage && !ezQuery ) || ezIsBoard) {
/*Change ezforum number to the one you wish to protect */
if (ezforum == "frm21") {
                        sBlockURL = "www.domain.com/noanon.html";
        ezUser = getUser();
        if (ezUser.indexOf("@") != -1) { ezUser = ezUser.substr(0, ezUser.indexOf("@")); }

        if (ezUser.length > 0) {
        allTables = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
        for (at = 0; at < allTables.length; at++ ) {
        if (allTables.item(at).className == "whosonline") {
        allTables.item(at).id = "whosonline";

        wotd = allTables.item(at).getElementsByTagName("td").item(1);
        if (wotd.innerHTML.indexOf("u" + ezUser + ".") == -1 && wotd.innerHTML.indexOf("login=" + ezUser) == -1) {
        document.location = sBlockURL;
        }
        }
        }
        }
                        if (document.body.innerHTML.indexOf("" + "www.ezboard.com/messages/alert_cookies.html") != -1) {
                                document.location = sBlockURL;
                        }
                        
                }
        }
}

function getUser() {
var ezUser = "";

for ( dl = 0; dl < document.links.length; dl++ ) {
if ( document.links[dl].href.indexOf("showInBoxFolder") != -1 || document.links[dl].href.indexOf("InboxServer") != -1) {
ezUser = document.links[dl].href.match("u([a-zA-Z0-9\@]*)\.(showInBoxFolder|boardRedirectToInboxServer)")[1];
break;
}
}
return (ezUser == "" ? "" : ezUser);
}
/* END PREVENT ANON AND GUEST FROM VIEWING A SPECIFIC FORUM*/
</script>

Footer Box 4:

  
<script type="text/javascript">
/* PROTECT FORUM */
ProtectForum();
/* END PROTECT FORUM */
</script>
