Make Threads Post Count Accessable

[ScottRowan]

Hi,

I just made a new forum and ive got a few threads I wanna make only accessable to members who have more than "x" amount of posts.

I dont see anything in the AdminCP about this unless im missing it.

Is there a mod that can do this?

Thanks

Thanks,

I had a look through that and I dont really understand it. The way I see it is that when you get 35 posts thats making you upgrade your rank in a way... I dont want them upgrading. I want them always to be members but then they can only access a certain forum with 35 posts, and another with 50 etc.

Could you help me a bit more please.

You duplicate the "Registered Users" group. They will still look the same, except each one has different permissions to different forums.

Ok,

I made a new usergroup called Registered Users2 and then the promotion to it was 20 posts (equal or greater too) then Primary group. Then I made the forum permissions for the thread deny Registered Users but allow Registered Users2.

I made a fake member with 19 posts tried to access it jst said Private. Then I posted twice to get to 21 and then tried and its still saying Private.

Is there something ive missed?

You need to wait for the Scheduled Task to run, I believe it runs twice every hour.

Ahh, so basically once a member hits the required amount of posts it will take around 30mins to basically add them to the new usergroup.

Its working now I think, but if you just confirm what I said is right all is good.

Also, rather than it just saying PRIVATE and you dont have permission to access this page, is there a way you can add it so it says like "You Need 35 Posts".

[Dismounted]

It would be less than 30 mins because not many users will hit the required amount of posts just after the task had run. :p

Lol ok thanks for all your help buddy.

I just put :: Requires 20 Posts To Access :: in the forum thread description so that will do for now.

Thanks again m8.
