## Description: Adds an additional security check when trying to
## add/remove a user to/from the administrator or
## moderator groups.
##
## Affected files: config.php
## profile.php
##
## Affects DB: Yes
## Adds 3 columns to the users table, and adds a value
## to your config table
##
## Notes: This mod adds a security check when trying to add/remove
## moderators or administrators. It will mail a
## random 128 character verification key to the e-mail
## adresses specified in the config.php file, after
## asking to change groups.
## It will only be valid for the time specified in the
## configuration file (default: 300 sec.) and only for the
## requested usergroup requested (meaning if you wanted to
## add a user to the moderator group, the key is *only*
## valid for said group. You can't add a user to the admin
## group with a key requested for adding/removing a user
## to/from the moderator group)
## If the key don't get verified within that period, if the
## key generated for another user group, or if an invalid
## key gets entered, the user will stay within
## his/her current user group.

##No demo, as that would kinda defeat the purpose of this mod 
with this method, it would be very hard (impossible ?) to hack. I think it's the best way.
