limited forum threads

[Smalley]

there is any hack can limit the users to do not add more than the threads which the admin wants ??

like in fourmid==2 it is for 50 threads only no more thread can be added unless the admin increase the limit for this specific forum?

hmm, there is no hack out, and i didn't see the sense of it, but i can be done with one edit of newthread.php:

after that:$permissions=getpermissions($forumid);
if (!$permissions[canview] or !$permissions[canpostnew]) {
show_nopermission();
}

add that:
if (in_array($forumid,array(2,3,4))) {
$threadcount=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM thread WHERE forumid=$forumid");
if($threadcount[count]>=50) show_nopermission();
}

[Smalley]

its working fine Thanks alot ,,

if i want it to be for different fourm in different number of threads should i repeat the line or there is another way to have this ?

[Xenon]

you're welcome

you have to expand and repeat the inner if-clause:

if (in_array($forumid,array(2,3,4))) {
$threadcount=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM thread WHERE forumid=$forumid");
if($threadcount[count]>=50 and $forumid==2) show_nopermission();
else if($threadcount[count]>=150 and $forumid==3) show_nopermission();
else if($threadcount[count]>=20 and $forumid==4) show_nopermission();
}
