No Signature Until x Posts

[nhawk]

THIS ADD-ON IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AND IS NOT SUPPORTED

* General Information *
------------------------------
This is an add-on that was designed with vBulletin 4.2.0. It may not work on earlier versions of vBulletin, but it should with any vB 4.x versions.

Stops members from adding signatures until they reach a post count you set.

NOTE: This does not stop signatures from being displayed. Members that already have signatures but do not meet the number of posts required will be unable to edit their signatures until they reach the minimum post count you set.


* INSTALLATION *
-----------------------
1) Import the product XML file (product-nosignatures.xml) into the Product Manager in AdminCP.

2) Go to ACP->Settings->Options->No Signature Settings. Turn on the system and set the number of posts required for a user to create a signature.

3) If you still want the Edit Signature link to show in usercp, go to ACP->Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager and disable the 'No Signature Link in Usercp' plugin. That will display an error telling them they need x posts when a member trys to add/edit a signature.

Is this not achieved by using normal user groups anyway?
Something like:
New user - from signup - no signature permissions
Registered user - automatic promotion after x posts - can use signature.

This is not intended to be anything fancy. It simply limits signatures to people that have x posts in all usergroups. It is intended to avoid having to add usergroups and use user promotions to accomplish the same thing.

I already use a mod which does the same, but nice to have another one just in case.

I can't be doing with the 'promotions' thing, so these kind of mods are great.

Anyone use this on 4.2?

And yes I know promotions work...I dont want to use that.

[Zachery]

You should really just use promotions...

[ozzy47]

The mod was made for vB v4.2.0 so it should work no problem on all 4.2.x series, and probably earlier.

[nhawk]

Ozzy is correct. It was created using 4.2.0 and it will work on later versions of 4.2.x.

You should really just use promotions...

Not everyone wants to use promotions for this. They may want the post count to apply to all usergroups, in which case the promotion system becomes useless. This mod fills that gap.

So is there a way to exclude some usergroup? cause it affects all usergroups....

No there isn't. It is intended to affect all user groups.
