Rule to prevent users with less than X posts to post URLs

[MaXimus]

I have vBulletin 3.8.7

how can I create a rule that only members with above 30 posts may post links?

I don't want knew people to register just to post spammy links

Give this plugin a try:

Product: vBulletn

Hook Location: postbit_display_complete


if($post['posts'] < 30)
{
$post['message'] = preg_replace("/\[url[\s\S]*?\/url\]/i", "LINK REMOVED", $post['message']);
}


It should remove any links if post count is less than 30


EDIT: This won't display properly in the php code box. It breaks to a new line after "?". Just be sure when you copy it to the admin CP there is no line break there and no spaces

Go to Plugins & Products > Add New Plugin

Product: vBulletin

Hook Location: postbit_display_complete

Title : Kill links

Exectution Order: 5

Plugin PHP Code:


if($post['posts'] < 30)
{
$post['message'] = preg_replace("/\[url[\s\S]*?\/url\]/i", "LINK REMOVED", $post['message']);
}



Plugin is active: NO

Save and Reload

Now go find a post by a newby, change Plugin is active to YES and refresh the page with the newby post and see if it works and doesn't generate any errors. If there's an error turn the plugin back off and post here, I'll try to help.

Duh! It should be looking for html instead of bb code. Try this:


if($post['posts'] < 30)
{
$post['message'] = preg_replace("/<a[\s\S]*?\/a>/i", "LINK REMOVED", $post['message']);
}

Note the Warning at the top in your screen shot. Go to your Options and find Plugin/Hook System and turn it on
