Minimum posts to access forums XYZ

[lange]

I'm looking for this hack:

The members must post minimum posts by day (2, by example) to access forums D. E, etc. The posts have to be in forums A, B or C.

Thx

You can do this via template, open the FORUMDISPLAY template and at the very top add:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['posts'] < x AND $foruminfo['forumid'] == y">
<else />


and at the very bottom add:

</if>

Replacing x with desired amount of posts and y with the forum id.
Users will get a blank page if they cant access it.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed this is for posts per day - this will be total of posts for the user

Yes. Minimum posts per day.

why not just use the built in promotion system?

I don't know how to do that.

I have no doc about promotion tricky. No doc about nothing. :(

who needs dos its called playing around

point your self at

admincp/usergroup.php?do=updatepromotion

then just make the apporiate settings


edit: wait why posts per day?

Why not ? :)

The promotion system is irrelevant because it will apply to all forums.

no its not, you can have multiple usergroups, so how is it irrelvelnt?

each usergroup can have access to a specific set of forums

Remember that the vB3 Admin Control Panel has alot of the documentation 'built in'. Just click the help icon (?) on something you don't understand :)
