5 posts and 2 questions. Not off to a very good start. Be patient, and you will be rewarded. No patience.........no reward!

Anyway, as far as the age verification, That's no problem. You can Google "Age verification script" and come up with thousands. Here's one that's totally free, as most of them are, anymore. This one was found at Webmasters World:

[FONT=verdana]<script language="javascript">  
var agePrompt=prompt("You must be over 18 to enter.")  [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]if (agePrompt>=18)  
document.location="http://www.example.co.uk/ok-page.html"; 
else {  
alert('Sorry, we can not let you in!')  
document.location="http://www.example.co.uk/too-young-page.html";  [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana]}  
</script>  [/FONT]

Of course, you will have to change the URL's to your own.

Also, if they click "Exit", then by all means, let them exit. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to leave a site while the site is trying to keep you there.
Furthermore, if you make them stay on your site........they're even MORE likely to lie about their age (as if they won't anyway). I know..........it's all the legality stuff making you do this in the first place.

Never used an age verification script before, but just on my test server it seems to work fine in just about ANY index or header file. On every one, I just put it right at the top of each one (even before the <php?) and it showed up. Try each one, as some lets it load the background, while others don't. I figure the actual "Proper" place for it would be in the header.php of YOUR template, but like I said, it works almost anywhere.

Hope this helps.

I tried this in 3 places all in my main "public_html" file... heres what happened.

/includes/templates/1112/common/tpl_header.php website would not ask for verification, but would go directly to a pop up that said "you can not come in" (the alert and directly send me to page not found
admin/includes/header.phpSame error as above
admin/index.php nothing happened - visited page in normal manner (no authorization)

Maybe I am not in the right places?

hmmmm... any ideas?

by the way.. thanks for all the help

chachab, you're going to have to change the URL's to your own, something like:

[FONT=verdana]<script language="javascript">  
var agePrompt=prompt("Please enter your Age. Example (24)")  
if (agePrompt>=18)  
document.location="http://www.getemfast.com"; 
else {  
alert('Sorry, we can not let you in!')  
document.location="http://www.getemfast.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us";  
}  
</script>[/FONT][FONT=verdana][/FONT]

This works just fine if you will put it at the VERY TOP of Index.php (the one that's in the root of your shop).
Hope this helps.

You should be able to put this script on the specific page that you need the age verification on, so that when that page is called, the verification script kicks in first.

Hope this helps.
