Maximum threads / post per day per usergroup

[Admin]

Ok this one was requested by someone in the releases forum.
It has 7 file edits, 1 to newreply.php, 1 to newthread.php and 5 to usergroup.php. 1 query to run and 1 new template to add.
vbHacker (see my sig) will do that for you.

Anyway, the hack let's you choose how many posts / threads (individually) users from a usergroup can post per day. It means you can give newbies a limit so they don't flood your boards. And you can disable the feature for usergroups by setting the values to 0.

Anyhow, have fun. :)

I just installed this hack. It works like a charm and it's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot FireFly. Your vbHacker is a great tool to install hacks. Wonderful job.

Nice hack, perfect for stopping the spam :) Don't mean to hijack the thread, but can someone point me in the direction of a hack for making a "Top threads" box on the front page like on http://www.marietje.nl/vbb/? Thanks :squareeyed:

[Admin]

Police! My thread was hijacked, help!

Err cough... ok I am having the problem firefly... when I set the posts per day.. I can only set it to 1 to get it to work.. any other number just gives me the normal posting screen. But when I put 1 it works.. but then no one can post at all. Then when I do get the error message the error says I can only post 8 posts a day when that is the thread number...

[Admin]

Works great for me. There is a problem though, that the template always shows the thread number but I'll fix that later. The hack itself works perfectly.

Thanks btw it was me that requested! Will install in a few days!!!

Err.. I get around it. I just added a template for the thread and edited the other for the posts... I has just having cache errors (remote hosting vb)

Great hack by the way :)

[Admin]

Or you can just add another word variable instead of a new template...

[Neo]

for some reason I got a error when I did that O_O

[Brian Cruz]

This hack is exactly what I've been searching for! I have so many people making usless posts each day, this will finally get them to think about whether or not they really want to make their post.

Did you fix the template problem yet, FireFly?
