need xx posts to reply to a thread

[bonnmac]

I'd love it if someone could tell me how to do this...Something similar to this hack only for replying not starting a new thread.... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41438
I want to add an advice column forum to board but want people to have a certain amount of posts to reply....
Any ideas would be appreciated.....

in newreply.php

find:


if ($action=="newreply") {

under it add:


if(($foruminfo[forumid] == XX) AND ($bbuserinfo[posts] < YY)) {
eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_columnforum")."\");");
exit;
}

then create a new template called ::
error_columnforum

put the error you want to show in that template...

replace XX as the forumid of the forum that you make the column forum and YY as the minimium amount of posts before they can reply in that forum ;) regards and hope that helps :)

Thanks g-force2k2!
But I'm afraid that doesn't work.... :( It still allows replying even without having the correct amount of posts....

my bad... instead find this code:

(second appearance)
$foruminfo=getforuminfo($threadinfo[forumid]);

and under it add my coding my bad :)
