Pro Age Check ModulePlugin

Do you sell goods which children should not be able to purchase, or view? Do you own an adult website in a country which by law requires you to verify the age of your visitors?

Whatever your requirements are, this module can verify your visitors age and let them either browse your site or redirect them to the page you choose depending on the users age.

Pro Age Check is an extension that can be set to ask your visitors about their birthday. It then calculates the visitor’s age, and if they are not old enough, they will get redirected to some other page/site of your choosing.

You can set the age limit in the module backend and use the plug-in to add the form to any page you want. The form can be translated or changed to meet your demands.

For your verified website users, Pro Age Check has the ability to set a cookie and let them browse your site without showing the verification page again. A permanent redirect option is also available if you don't want to let returning unverified users to access your website.

There is no Terms of Service check box or link when using this module or plugin. I run a beer distribution site and there's not convenient way to display this on my splash page. Not very convenient when trying to keep all legal issues at bay.

This splendid extension for Age Checking access does exactly what it says and is very easy to configure. No docs needed for that.
Most people will be able to use it exactly like it is.

I wanted to cuztomize the warning message. (This is the message that the visitor gets before being redirected if they don't have the right age for access). Within less than an hour the ProJoom Team gave me thorough instructions about how to do this even though I've paid nothing for Pro Age Check! That's what I call great support :-)

Thank you, ProJoom Team :-)

I like it very much, though it has no multilingual support and therefore I must lay off the use of this plugin untill it becomes multilingual. What I also noticed is, that one can't edit the look of the question box (particulary the black line covering only the top and left of the box annoys me, the rest is ok).

Anyway, very good work :)

This extension works just as advertised. I am pleased with it. However, I was disappointed to find that I am unable to contact the developer. As mentioned in a previous review, there seems to be no way to alter the files.
I would like to suggest to the developer two things that would make this perfect. Allow an editable area for a company logo and another area for a legal disclaimer to be posted.
I will continue to use this extension. I hope a future version will include those two items.

Cheers

Hello!

I use Nova Age and it's fantastic! Thanks a lot for this great component!

I think a suggestion...and it's that on the next version add some cookie track that allows to memorize if the user is adult or children because its more practicaly.

Sorry for my bad english,

See you and best regards!

This Module isn't too bad, the only bad thing about it i've found so far is:

To get past the age Check, just click the 'Nova Age Check' link at the bottom of the Age box, this makes the box dissapear and the page display, then just click Stop to stop the page loading! easy access!

Other than that, easy install, Pretty good!

It does what it says it will and does it well, even to giving you the ability to set a cookie so your users won't have to deal with answering the age question every time they come to your site.

Once I figured out how it was supposed to work (no documentation), it was pretty simple. Simply publish the module in any position on your home page or any site page, and make certain it is completely enabled. When a visitor comes to that page, the Age Check form will pop up with a colored "veil" hiding the rest of your site. (You can set opacity for the veil.) If the visitor enters the right date to meet the age check, the visitor is directed to your site page. If the age check fails, the visitor is redirected to a url you specify.

On the other hand, I can't use this module. I need to customize the look and feel a LOT more than the module allows. The way the php files are encoded, I can't even make my changes there.
