View Full Version : 30 Days before next forum appears...

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to figure out if there's already a plugin (YES, I've searched for hours...) that will work like the following:

My site is a membership based system (12 month - they can do monthly OR annual payments) and I want to show a 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 and 12 month forum, 1 forum per month. Not even sure if that makes sense how I wrote it.

So let's say John Doe signs up on June 13th and he automatically gets to see month 1... but then July 13th hits and now there should be a new forum that will appear (was not visible before) automagically, based on how long they've been a member (30 days or so).

I did find something that's pretty close:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=204348

The main flaw(s) with this is:
1) Seems to be incomplete (and unsupported)
2) It strictly goes by 30 days, which isn't 100% accurate on our Calendar system, seeing as February only has 28 days, etc.

I've seen the mod I'm speaking of installed on a few sites, but I cannot find it anywhere. I haven't attempted to hack vB code in a long, long time - and I'd be a little nervous about messing something up.

Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Have you tried using "Promotions" in usergroup manager.
Make 12 user groups. e.g. group 1, group 2, ....
Promote user every 30 days to next user gorup.

I guess you dont need any hack.
