VSa - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count

[Valter]

Info:

This product allows you to set permissions based on user’s post count for:
-viewing forum (threads listing),
-viewing threads content,
-creating new threads,
-replying to threads,
-viewing attachments,
-Viewing/Posting links/images and e-mail addresses,
-adding links to signatures
-voting on polls,
-sending private messages,
-sending e-mails,
-posting Visitor messages
-viewing Albums
-creating new Albums
-posting Picture comments
-viewing Social Groups
-creating new Social Groups
-posting Group messages

This will disallow members with no permissions to view forums/threads/posts/links through normal view, printthread, search, archive, thread preview. Note that you can set Forum/Thread Permissions for each forum/sub-forum separately. Screenshot shows additional options in Forum Manager and error messages shown to user when trying to view restricted area.

How it works and why it's better than vB Promotions system?!
Forum is shown on forumhome but with "Locked" icon and if you have no needed post count you'll get "no permission" error message. When you set this via vB Promotions system forum is hidden on forumhome and you must create additional usergroup to make all this working. When user collect needed amount of posts he will be able to access protected forum immediately. When you set this via vB Promotions system then user must wait until Promotions task is executed ... then he will be able to access protected forum. How much time user must wait it depends on settings in AdminCP/Scheduled Tasks... and if you set this to run every minute it pushes your server. If you set it to 2 or more minutes then user must wait more and more... and nobody like it.

Installation:
Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

[Valter]

There is a lot of work to do, but I'll do it.

I'm busy with my main job, so please be patient.

[LbR]

Signature links :eek: ??

[Zaiaku]

The 3.8 version worked for me but glad to see an official vb4 version

[Adam H]

wow.. Thanks allot man... you are one of my favourite...

btw, why did you change your user name.. i was just gonna ask you that if you have permission from CYB to use his code... lol

[Forum Lover]

Installed and nominated. BTW, can we restrict viewing member list too?

[athlon64bit]

I assumed that this would update cyb advanced permissions post count addon version 4.4 but now I have both version 4.4 and version 5 in my addons list. Why is this?

[Hornstar]

This has more installs then downloads currently....It just shows you how popular this really is. Thanks.

[princeedward]

great and thanks ;)

[Valter]

now I have both version 4.4 and version 5 in my addons list. Why is this?
ProductID was changed. Old version should be uninstalled.

[kho91]

[Forum Lover]

I second that. :) please.

[pjdaley]

this plugin specifically the "
Set post count requirements
For Individual Forums | For All Existing Forums"

doesent seem to be working with vbSEO as i am unable to set a post count number for any forum or thread

[athlon64bit]

ProductID was changed. Old version should be uninstalled.

Thank you Valter. :)

[athlon64bit]

I cannot update individual forums. As soon as I go to save I get this error, "The service is unavailable." As soon as I disable this addon the error goes away. I am using vb version 4.0.1. :(

The SQL error that I get is MySQL Error : Unknown column 'accessf_nb' in 'field list'.

I am looking for a mod to prevent the Registered Users group from posting any links regardless of post count. Please help me determine if this will work.

I was thinking I could set the new users group to not be able to post links untill they have 9999 posts for example. But will that display a message "You cannot post links until you have 9999 posts"? That would just look mean.

Is there a better way to use this to accomplish my goal or am I better doing something else?

Forgive me if this has been addressed in your previous versions but I thought I should ask here.

Thank you

[zeroality]

I like the link idea although that could be hard to implement. I came here to suggest restricting avatars/sigs/user title. Perhaps PMs and visitor messages? Would really cut down on spam via PMs. Recently had to ban someone who PMed everyone.

And I remember you as Cybernetic, I used almost all your mods in 3.x!

[Sayid]

Can we upgrade from 4.4 or have we uninstall the previous one first?
because I do not want to lose the options.
Thanks Valter for taking time to update this :)

[Valter]

You should uninstall old version before upgrade.

[unforsaken]

is there a way to seperate the links/images? as well any help on the individual forums limits would be great as well

[pjdaley]

I have in my settings to ignore the settings for usergroups: 1,5,6,7

now I WANT usergroup 1 (not logged in, not registered) to be able to see the whole forum. (ie: i want google to be able to crawl it.) The links and images are already blocked out using a separate system.

However when i go to the site as a visitor i still cannot view any threads... any ideas?


Also as for my last post, i was able to fix the issue by disabling vbseo and setting up VSa then re-enabling vbseo :)

[zeroality]

Valter, any chance of my suggestions being implemented?

[Toupsx]

Any chance of implementing this:
Require Captcha based on post count
(user must fill out captcha field if enabled and they are under X amount of posts)
Would be a great additional way to stop robots/ forum spam

[rizelim]

thanks

[decipher442]

Hmm I can't seem to get this to work. I installed it and did all the settings but in the options when I click "For All Existing Forums" link it doesn't go to the page you display..

It brings me here:
http://www.promojunkie.com/forum/misc.php?do=vsa_apboupc_setall

NOTE: I have tried disabling all other plugins including VBSEO and I still cant access the page.

I even went through all the forums and manually set the post limits but didn't work either.

Anyone know the solution to this one?

[Gus Moore]

Hi Valter,

Thanks for the mod.

I am new to vB. This is my first post. :)

Does your "Advanced Permissions" mod allow us to disable signatures for new members?

Thanks,

Gus

[ShawnV]

Awesome, thanks for another great mod.

[snilabs]

thanks great work!

[Muggz562]

Installed. I've been looking for something like this for awhile. I wouldn't mind an update ;)

I posted this in the v3.8 thread, but am repeating it here as I guess its more relevant to ask for additions to the current version, especially as we should really upgrade to vBv4 sometime soon. :rolleyes: :D

Feature request - Assuming I haven't missed something - A log of failed attempts to PM/e-mail/whatever due to being blocked by this plugin would be useful.

Anyway, as I also said in the other thread and am happy to repeat here: Installed on 3.8 and we're very, very happy with the results.

Thanks Valter!

Ya, you need to be a Super Administrator to view it. I had the same issue, looked at the misc start plugin, noticed that he had it set to look for super admins, made myself a Super Admin and it came up just fine.

BUG REPORT FOR VB4.0.3:

When this addon is enabled it throws up a SQL DB error when you try to change yes/no to the following Forum option:

Forum is Open (Set this to 'No' to prevent any new posts being made in this forum)

It's definitely this addon as it works fine if you disable the addon!

[guvner]

I also found that any change to my forums through the Forum Manager resulted in the "Unknown column 'accessf_nb' in 'field list'" database error.

However, as suggested by Valter above, I uninstalled the mod - reinstalled it and redid my settings and all's well.

@Valter - just one suggestion/request.

I use your advanced forum permissions mod to restrict access to my classifieds sections (minimum post count of 10) and and your advanced forum rules mod to force people to be aware that they must use the templates provided when placing an ad.

Just now when testing the new install with a dummy user, I first had to read then agree to the classifieds rules - then after I'd agreed to them I was hit with with notice that I didn't have enough posts to use the classifieds.

If I were a standard user that would have irritated me (a lot) - is there any way to make the permissions mod execute before the rules mod?

Thanks for your work - very cool mods. :up:

Mike

[Valter]

Change plugin execution order.

Example:
- Advanced Permissions = 5
- Rules = 6

[Parafal]

Any fix for the reported bug for the VB4.0.3?
This is a must have MOD for me, but I'm using VB4.0.3 and I'm not a tech-php guy. :-(

what db error?

Ensure that you have no two instances of this product installed (vB4 one + old one for vB3 with 'Cyb' prefix).

You may uninstalled old version AFTER installing new one for vB4, as you are missing database field required by this product to work properly.

If it's not big problem for you uninstall/re-install product to re-create required fields.

I had the same database error as the others in this thread, but I can confirm that uninstalling and reinstalling fixed this.

[freqfly]

Great mod. Thank you!

A suggestion for the next release: How about the ability to restrict the creation of blog entries by post count. I have found that many of my new members, incorrectly create a blog entry when a forun post was actually required. The simple solution would be to restrict blog creation to members with more than x number of posts.

Thanks again

im having some problems with it, everything works fine except users (with 32 post for example) can send messages privates even when i put that minimum is 50... using 4.0.3

[cfish]

I would like to use this mod to reduce SPAM. Spammers register manually and then post links. I can see that this mod could be used to prevent link posting for users with less that x posts. However, what I'd like to know is how the mod identifies a link. Does it use a regex to match elements in a string or will it just spot the link BBCode?

[webcosmo]

was waiting for this one, thanks.

[Yellow Slider]

are you planning to get it work in 4.0.4?

[Valter]

As I know it does work in 4.0.4.

What part you have problems with?

[ALBCODERS]

Installed ;) Thanx Valter.

[final kaoss]

I to can confirm that this is not working with 4.0.4 I've set it to where people need 75 posts to view a forum, however using a puppet account, I saw the forum without 75 posts, same issue with guests posting links. I can confirm that this did work before 4.0.4 as I do regular testing and I can assure you that it is no fault of my own but rather the fault of this addon.

[tech4c]

confirm not working with 4.0.4

[in7]

I have this mod enabled as well.. the PM option is set by default must have 15 posts before you can private message.. but i created test user with zero posts and i am able to send PM's still :( i am using version 4.0.4.

[apokphp]

I've tested the pm system. It is working as it should (fresh install of product on a 4.0.5 board).

For those having trouble...make sure you click either the "For Individual Forums | For All Existing Forums" to set up the permissions properly.

[10 Gauge]

This is an awesome mod, I'd like to make a request. Can a post ratio be built in rather than a set amount of posts?

Example: 10 posts have to be made in "Y" forum before user is allowed to make 1 post in "X" forum?

Thanks in advance!

[jojojijijojo1]

I liked your previous version, the reason is because I was able to set permission for attachments for every forum, but now if i set a post count restriction it applies to all the forum and thats not good, please can you fix that?

[Veer]

Valter, can you add "Voting and Polling" permissions as well?

[Valter]

It may be added in future versions.

Thanks, I will look forward for the update.

Also ensure that you have SuperAdmin permissions.

Hide links/images in signatures if user post count is less than (0 to disable) definitively doesn't work at vb 4.0.5. I have set it to ten. My test user can link anyway.

My other restrictions I've set seem to work.
-Post Links/Images/e-mails, set to 20 at specific forums.
-Post count user must have before can SEND PMs (0 to disable), set to 5.


Any fix? :);)

[Bankfodder]

I tried to configure this plugin but when I tried to set the post count for all forums, I clicked the link and was taken to here:-

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/

Which is a list of smilies!!!

Any ideas please

Same here. clicking on http://xyzcom/forum/misc.php?do=vsa_apboupc_setall takes me to a smilies page


I found the answer and got it working.

It's not a glitch but it may be undocumented.

It is very simple.

The hack must be active in order to configure it.
You cannot have it inactive, get it all ready and then activate it.

As soon as I activated it, the forum set up page was generated.

I think that this is a bit counter intuitive and that it might be an idea to be able to configure it in a non-active state.

Anyway, besides that, the mod is simple, effective and works well, so thanks for this.

[Blooded]

NOT working with vbulletin 4.0.6....

got vb 4.6 and is working just fine :S

[Vaira]

Yes it works, but I can't make members to prevent to use the signature to post in a link based on their post count.
Can you confirm it is working, too?

Thanks. :)

[Bankfodder]

We are having a problem in that new users are posting on the blog pages instead of the forum.

Any chance that this mod could be updated to handle post count requirements for blogs, please??

TURN YOUR PM'S ON TO RECEIVE REPLY

[sticky]

Could this be modified that instead of using post count it uses reputation?

[Reef Man]

sorry. Done. please send me a PM.

[Brandon Sheley]

so the configuration screen under settings is gone for this mod
anyone else have that happen?
I don't really want to remove it because we've spent a lot of time on the permissions setup, but I want to change something for the groups and I don't see the first screenshot under settings.. is it somewhere else?

[btlewand]

The requirements when configuring the Forum says minimum "posts" to access Forums. If the user creates a thread, is that also considered a "post" as far as allowing access?

[jojojijijojo1]

How can I set attachment permission for only 1 forum and not all?

[Paul.]

Would I be right to assume my forum is slower now that I've installed this? Although I do believe it's my connection!
It would be great to see some blog options added.

Thanks for this. :)

+1 blog spam is now a big problem as well as user album abuse with spam.

It would be cool. Is there anything at all out there at the moment to give us more control over the blogs?

[DaPro]

This plugin needs to have the templates updated to match vB4.1.

[btlewand]

Unusual situation. Using 4.08 and am still building my site so it's currently private from viewers. Forum view restriction using this hack is working on one forum. Now cannot get to work on any other forums. The one that is working I believe I set up a few weeks back so perhaps I configured something since then that prevents this hack from working on any new forums (just weird that it works on one forum and not another). I see comments in this forum that some users are having trouble getting the product to work on various versions of VB but did not really see any clear resolution.

I'm only using this product because I want to prevent Unregistered users from viewing certain forums on my site. I know I can set permissions for unregistered users from viewing those forum but that also shuts down the RSS feeds for those forums and ALL child forums and I need those RSS feeds to be functional.

Any ideas?

[btlewand]

I'm still trying to resolve this issue, but am finding the plug-in works in VB 4.08 in a forum I created PRIOR to upgrading to 4.08. If I try to create a new forum, update an existing forum or make a new forum based from the one that is working (now that I am on 4.08), the plug-in permissions do not prevent users from accessing the forum if they do not have the minimum post count.

If somebody reading this post is using this plugin and it is working correctly on 4.08, can you try to create a new forum and test to see if anything created after you have upgraded to 4.08 doesn't work. Just trying to see if others are having the same problem based on when they created the forum.:confused:

[Sangheili]

I have a feature request. Option to enable reCAPTCHA only when creating new threads and being able to control which users are affected by post count and usergroup.

[cyberchief]

Thanks!

[zacs2k]

I have a suggestion for the next update. Make it so that we can edit the text that it says. Example instead of "you must have # posts to access this forum. You currently have #" I would like to put a link in there so that if a user who is unregistered reads that they can click the link to register to the forum.

[Valter]

It's in phrases.

[New Joe]

At the moment I can't use this modification.

The reason is, after setting the limit of posts to 50 for the forum i need it for, yes it will stop users from going into the forum and it also doesn't show the last Thread in there.

But when a guest or a user with under 50 posts, clicks on the 'What's New' tab, the threads for the 50 limit forum still show, even though they can't click and read the whole Thread they can still see the name of the Thread and hover over it to see part of it.

Am i missing a permission set up in the modification or is the right and a fault with the modification?

[New Joe]

Can anyone who is using this mod, please test it out as a guest on your forum by clicking the 'What's New' tab and as a user with under the limit of post count for the forum you are using it with and report back.

And let me know if i am right or what i am doing wrong.
thanks

[Breixo]

What about adding the feature "minimum post count to create a poll"?

Not a lot of support on this Mod.

I can not use it until the problem I posted about is fixed.
Even though a Thread is in a forum with say a 50 post limit, the Thread still shows on 'What's New' to members under 50 posts.

Hope the support and fix will come along soon.

Any ideas Boofo for a fix? lack of support for the Mod, but I would like to use it.

[Boofo]

I haven't looked into it.

[cpvrx]

This still works for the latest version of vB 4 right?

[valuemdsupport]

It works for us perfectly. If it's possible, please support for blog section (vBulletin 4.x Publishing Suite) when you get a chance. Thank you.

[Sworm]

please developer 1 hack that don't allow guest to see the hotlinks

Is there a possbibility to extend the functions for the CMS too ?!

[rob01]

the pm function dosnt work anymore

is working in weird ways, i set it to only be able to pm admins, and now the new user is able to pm anyone except admins

any idea?

[customstrength]

I've activated it and it's still showing the smilies list :(

Me too. But I can edit the settings for each forum individually. Pain, but seems to work.

[just.b.jealous]

This mod is looking grave, the more vBulletin updates. Too many errors for vb 4.1.3 installation. Someone please work on getting this awesome mod working again.

[Merenguista]

Very nice hack .. Thank's

Not working on 4.1.4

[Valter]

Works fine here on 4.1.4.

What problems you have with it?

[Welshy2008]

I have marked as installed, rated and Nominated.

Could you tell me if it is possible and if you plane on extending the "can't post link and images" to the signature too please?


Thanks for another fanstic Mod. :D

[washingtonboise]

Minimum post count user must have to be able to post links and images
This permission is two in one, which reduces flexibility.

Situation: On my forum, I need to allow pictures, and disallow links.

Suggested improvement: Allow each of those permissions to be controlled independently.

[MySaltyreef]

awesome hack thanks

[8thos]

Not working on 4.1.4

i have installed this mod and work fine for me
but i have request , i want my forum user can view pictures on post but dont view links !?
Can you help me to do this ?
i change that on Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count for vb 3.7.x . (this post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1788080&postcount=222))

Sorry for my bad english !

Can someone help me?

I am having trouble creating new post/thread via vbulletin mobile android app that I created using vbulletin mobile suite. I noticed this plugin is causing the problem.

Can you help to teach me how to add the code below?


if (!VB_API)

insert plugin code here

But how to insert and where?

[blackhost]

I would like to change the size and color of the default text message that denys viewing of links, images or attachments. How is this done?

Hi,

I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm using Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=177704) for vBulletin 3.8 and I'm about to upgrade to vBulletin version 4.1.

Please let me know which steps I must follow in order to upgrade this plugin at the same time (to use the version compatible with 4.1) and keeping the configuration.

Thank you very much!

[Fready]

I still have my problem with the Threads still showing for users under the post count when using 'What's New' tab for search

[imported_ideenwerk]

Nearly perfect but the same problem here, all users can see the first sentences in 'Whats's New'. Have anyone a solution?

[adambloch]

This Modification is brilliant. We've had problems with basic user-promotions to set a minimum 25 post limit for posting in a particular section (users who've been members for months, with hundreds of posts being missed), this mod solved the problem immediately.

One thing would make it perfect for me: The ability to determine exclusion from the post-count criteria on a per-forum basis (just as you can specify the criteria on a per-forum basis), rather than forum-wide in the general settings. This thing would seriously kick ass with that flexibility.

...OK, I'd also like to hack a donate link into the insufficient count dialogue, but I think I can manage that one :)

Thanks for a great mod!

[ellinofatsa]

nice hack

[etca]

works on my forum. 4.1.7. thx

[microlight]

Can I use this mod to disable someones ability to post once their monthly post limit has been reached?

I have a troll on my forum who can be useful at times but he posts constantly and winds people up. I would like to be able to limit his input to 100 posts per month.

[meeja]

An odd bug has just happened after we upgraded vb to 4.1.6

We don't allow users to start a thread until they get to 100 posts. Which now means that when a user (with less than 100 posts) reports a comment on the forum it actually gets sent to the mods by email instead of starting a thread in the reports forum which is the vb setting we have. The mods are getting a bit annoyed at this.

When this mod is disabled, the issue doesn't occur. And it happens when the mod isn't limiting by post count (we checked as we were use this pluging to limit the number of posts but moved it to usergroup permissions in testing).

So it's definitely this mod. Just wondering if there's a fix/way around it?

You could set up an exception on the forum where "reported posts" thread are being created I guess.

Just go to the mod settings page.
Click on "For Individual Forums"
Then edit the forum where the reported posts threads are being made.
And set the required post count in there to 0.

Hey there, we have done already. But when this mod is active it sends the report by anyone <100 posts by email, but not when this mod is active.

Would really love some support in fixing this, that I'd happily pay the developer for by donation or whatever.

[tpearl5]

Has anyone modified this to only restrict downloading attachments in specific forums?

[addamroy]

What happens to my existing usergroup permissions and promotions if I install this mod??

I see many of the options are the same as the default permissions in vbulletin, so will this product automatically take my current settings by default?

I've got an active forum with private areas and several different promotions that must continue working as they are.

Can you tell me what happens to my existing usergroup permissions and promotions when I install this?

[Valter]

Your usergroup/permission settings will be untouched.

This is only addition to standard forum features, all based on user post counts.

[tpearl5]

Has anyone modified this to only restrict downloading attachments in specific forums?

Valter, if I make a $50 donation will you consider adding this feature and updating for that latest version of vBulletin?

[tpearl5]

FYI, this mod was causing a depricated message in PHP for me (since I'm running php 5.3):

Function ereg() is deprecated in /home/site/public_html/includes/class_postbit.php(340) : eval()'d code on line 65

If you really want to get rid of this the ereg's in "VSa - APBOUPC - P2 (PB)" plugin needs to be replaced with preg_match. Since it's not an error I haven't changed things over yet.

How to fix this problem ? can you please describe how to get rid of this error.?

[rafiul]

I have solved the erorr. You have to replace "ereg" with "preg_match" in "VSa - APBOUPC - P2 (PB)" plugin . Here is an example-

if ( ereg( "bmp|gif|jpg|png", $file )

// can become

if ( preg_match( "/(bmp|gif|jpg|png)/i", $file )

[Carpesimia]

Ok, I have a new issue with this.

I seems that with this plugin enabled, I am unable to SOFT DELETE posts. Not threads, just posts. Perm Deletes work fine.

A little more info. When I do a soft delete, i get a FATAL ERROR message. I traced it to into the editpost.php, and near the bottom it passes the $foruminfo array into the DM class in order to decrement the reply_count by one. When it makes the call to the method "set_existing()", the fatal error occurs, that the value passed is not an array.

Disabling the plugin makes the error go away.

For grins, I added a line of code:

"$foruminfo = fetch_foruminfo($threadinfo['forumid'], false);"

right before the line that is crashing. This fixes the issue also.

But, something in the plugin is killing the $foruminfo array which is filled at the beginning of editpost.php and changed in one of the hooks this plugin is using.

I may research more, I may not. Ive been staring at this code for 8 hours now, which is how i found this much so far.

Anyone else have a similar issue?

[Scyther]

Does this mod prohibit a new user with, lets say '0' posts, from posting links in his/her signature?

[too_cool_3]

Anyone installed this on 4.1.10 yet?

[xgreatescapex]

Noob question, but how do we use this plugin exactly?

[OmerE]

Hi,

Few issues with this:

It is trivial to get around the PM limits check, simply use BCC when writing the message - the code only checks recipients, not BCC recipients
The add-on only checks the main user group, and not membergroups, when testing for which groups it is OK to send PM to despite limit


Suggested fix for both issues, replace body of private_insertpm_process plugin with below (tested in 3.8 but should be similar in 3.6/3.7/4.x):
if ($vbulletin->options['apboupc_global_enable'] AND $vbulletin->options['apboupc_pms'])
{
if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, split(',', $vbulletin->options['apboupc_pm_excludedgroups'])) AND ($vbulletin->options['apboupc_pm_amount'] !='0') AND ($vbulletin->userinfo[posts] < $vbulletin->options['apboupc_pm_amount']))
{
$recs = &$pmdm->info['recipients'];
foreach($recs as $userid => $user) {
if(!is_member_of($user, split(',', $vbulletin->options['apboupc_pm_allowed']))) {
$db->hide_errors();
$apboupc_get_allowedrecs = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT userid, username, usergroupid FROM `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "user` AS user WHERE `usergroupid` IN (".$vbulletin->options['apboupc_pm_allowed'].") ");
while ($apboupc_allowedrecs = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($apboupc_get_allowedrecs))
{
$apboupc_allowedrec[] = $apboupc_allowedrecs['username'];
$allowed_recipients .= ', <a href="private.php?do=newpm&u='.$apboupc_allowedrecs['userid'].'">'.fetch_musername($apboupc_allowedrecs).'</a>';
}
$db->show_errors();
$allowed_recipients = substr($allowed_recipients, 1);

standard_error(fetch_error('error_postcount_too_lo w_pm', $vbulletin->options['apboupc_pm_amount'], $vbulletin->userinfo[posts], $allowed_recipients));
}
}
}
}


Note this will still only list 'possible target users' with usergroup equal to exclusion group; this is intentional in our case, but YMMV.

[massrealtorpro]

can someone say if this is working without glitch's for 4.1.10 ? i need this mod more then anything else, but want to make sure its up; and running for 4.1.10 first?

also, i have just installed VB for the first time and i am 100% new to this stuff (took me a full day just to install VB), can someone please give me exacting step by step instructions on how to add this into my forum? TY

[Valter]

PM sent.

[SuperDude]

Hi,
i want that older users (which mean they have at least 300 messages) may have to wait only X seconds between posting and not Y seconds as all.
Can you add something like this?

[Tahooma]

I`d love to have the option that you forbid users to send PM`s to a specific usergroup.

So a user has the permission to send Private Messages, but not to a specific usergroup.

Would also be great to do all settings based on usergroup.

any chance ? ;)

This is a great mod. Used it with vB 3.x, so thanks for porting it to 4. Quick problem, though. If you view the New Posts page ([forum]/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post), threads which shouldn't be visible due to post count permissions are showing up.

I thought that I had it cracked but I've installed this on another forum and I find once again that I get taken to a page of smilies when I try to configure limits for all existing forums.

Please Valter, can you help on this.

[kendra]

We're presently using your Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count hack, and we're interested in setting minimum post counts in addition to the presently available maximum post count setting. For example, instead of admitting a member to Forum A when she reaches 1000 posts, we'd like to be able to remove a member from Form A when she hits 1000 posts. In this specific instance, we have a "Newbie Corner" and would like to limit it to users who have under 100 posts -- then kick them out of the nest when they hit 100. Can you help?

[pantani]

Very nice mod, instaled and thank you ;)

[Simon2323]

Can you moderate members based in post counts?

[SuperDude]

Can you add Edits limit tool based on post counts?

I may add that in the future versions.

Yes, update please, doesn't work properly with the latest vb.

also like BUDIMAN said, can you give us the option to hide links(not images or attachments) links only to registered users or users with x number of post count only?

Wonderful! Thanks a lot, Valter! :)

[zelnik]

Thanks! :)

[Essam]

can you add a code to exclude same forum URL or (URLs) from ( View Links permission ) ?

[Chadi]

Getting this when I click on edit.

[Valter]

You haven't clicked on Edit link but Change button.

As there is nothing to do (text fields are blank) submit error appears.

v5.2.1 - Jun 02. 2012.
-Minor bug fixed (submit form error phrase)

To upgrade:
-Import product XML, allow overwrite
-Revert product templates if modified

[Chadi]

Can you add ability to set custom filters?

Example: the can't post email/link feature does not pick up unless there is a www or http involved. So in essence, its virtually pointless since someone could simply put something.com and spam away.

It would be great if you can put such filters. Thanks!

[Pessimist]

Hm...

vB 4.1.2.

Send Private Messages
Post count user must have before can SEND PMs (0 to disable) - 15
Unaffected Usergroups (list IDs, separate with commas) - 5,6,7
Can send PMs to usergroups (list IDs, separate with commas) - 5,6,7

User has 0 post and can send PM to Usergroup Registered (ID2).

It only for me doesn't work? :(
Or this is not compatible with 4.1.x?

[vilambara]

is it working with 4.2.0?

[Manoel J?nior]

is it working with 4.2.0?
Yes!

How to can ability for post create?

[Bluewasabi]

nOOb question, I apologize if it has already been asked. I have a paid site and want to be able to have users that are not Paid members to be able to ONLY post once a day and read only one post every 10minutes. I want to frustrate them into signing up. Please advice. is this even possible? the payment system of VB intergration with PP is GREAT. but I can not find what I need in the admin que panel and was hoping someone would know of such a MOD.??/

thanks

[thunderclap82]

I have a minimum post count required for people to use the PM system. However, I do want people to be able to PM admin and mods even if they don't have the minimum. I have it set to:

Unaffected Usergroups (list IDs, separate with commas): 5,6,7
Can send PMs to usergroups (list IDs, separate with commas): 5,6,7

Yet people that don't meet the minimum can't PM admin. any ideas what's wrong? I'm running the latest version if vB and the mod.

[cloferba]

This mod doesn´t work with posts from Tapatalk.

If you write a post through Tapatalk, the mod doesn´t detect how many posts the user has.

[mradlin]

Installed and working!!

Thanks

[thunderclap82]

Still struggling with this. As far as I can tell everything in the vB PM Settings is right as is the Usergroup Settings as well as the plugin. When someone tries to PM they are told they don't have enough posts and that they can only PM staff but they can't. I disabled all plugins to see if there was a conflict but that didn't work.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how to fix it?

[Valerio]

Maybe you can add the same features based on reputation?

Because for example if we put that the users need to reach 50 post in order to access to the PM's they can reach even just by say "thanks" or "hello".

Also, if we create based on reputation and we promote the reputation system the community will increase quality posts.

what do you think?

[sweetpotato]

Is there any way to make guests only see images but can't see links on forum?
Thanks,

[millo87]

Installed on a forum with over 100k members and its an amazing mod. Once completly happy will mark on here that we're using it and rate it but we're having a problem.

Anyone can send PM's no matter what settings we use. I have it set for min posts 5 and to allow them to send PM to staff. However I create a new account with 0 posts and can send PM's with no problem. Is it meant to stop people accessing the PM page or stop them from sending the messages?

Either way its not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dean.

So the PM restriction capability is no longer working with vBulletin 4.2. Can anybody else confirm?

[datoneer]

When i set restrictions for one of the sections i can't add links in code tags. Is it possible that restriction doesn't count links in code tags? I need this please

[Eagle Eyes]

PM restriction doesn't work in the vB 4.2. Regardless of the post count limit or usergroup, a user can send the PM even though it gives a warning you can't.

[New Joe]

There are a few things which don't work right
It's a shame as it's a great mod when it works right just wish it would get updated

[New Joe]

Try this one:

Our blog main page is having issues since upgrading to VB 4.20 PL2, it's showing raw code, instead of the html page.

If you mouseover the browser bar for this error page, you see ['vsaltua_hackname'] in the header, which comes from this plugin.

Does anyone else have issues like this?

[tareqbd]

Is this mod going to be updated soon. PM restriction not works + Staff list does not show up in the new PM window. Only line showing from this mod is "Until your post count is {1} you will be able to send PMs to Staff only." but still user can PM with 0 post.

[LuDawgs]

I'm looking for something that allows me to restrict access to a forum if a user has not made x number of posts within the past x days in other forums. Anyone have any ideas?

[unfv]

Hi, any news about the vb5 version?

[Eagle Eyes]

The PM restrictions in this don't work in 4.2

[psyZa2]

@Eagle Eyes:

Same for me, PM restrictions didn't work in 4.1.10. Here's my fix:

Edit the plugin "VSa - APBOUPC - 35 (PI)". In the last few lines, replace $recipient with $recipient['username']

if (trim($recipient['username']) == '')
{
continue;
}
if (!in_array(trim($recipient['username']), $apboupc_allowedrec))
{...

[Jerit2012]

Thanks for the Hack. its working perfectly 4.1.12.

I have minor issue. Hope someone can help me:

When we click on the image or link we are receiving this message

"To view your post count must be 1 or greater. You currenty have 0 post"

I want to add a forum along with the above message where the user can increase the post count. Where i can add it?


Kindly help

Upgraded my forum to 4.2.0 and it stopped working. Can you update it to be compatible for 4.2.0?

What's not working for me:

Unable to set post count for making a new thread in a forum sub-section.

[GMan55]

OK, so the PM limit doesn't include exclusions either. I hope this can be solved for 4.2.0

[jaffaman]

Installed and working for what i am using it for as i just wanted to hide links,emails,attachments from unregistered members.

I just change the Standard Phrase: error_postcount_too_low_viewlinks to say To view links and images on this forum you must be a registered member.

----------
Got a reply from Vbulletin.com

A third party modification causes this problem when trying to use the 'private_insertpm_process' hook. Turn off the specific modifications and it will work again, this is not a vBulletin error.

-----------
can you address this error so it can work on VB4.2 pl 2 pl3

this is such a great mod

This error appear when user try to send PM to Staff -
while the Pm went over - The error appear when user try to PM .


Tested on this .

Seems like image posting restrictions don't work in 4.2 either.

[TheInsaneManiac]

You should update this to support blogs

[tareqbd]

Valter dude,
is there a chance to hide the link in rss feed and archive. It will be really very helpful.
Thank you.
