need some suggestions

alright, here's my dilemma. i posted over on vb.com forums, and they said i'm more likely to get an answer here. is there a way to EITHER:

1.) make it so a certian number of posts is required to view one specific THREAD (not subforum), OR

2.) make it so a certain post count is required to download one specific ATTACHMENT within a thread?

very easy to do:

open showthread.php

find:
// ************************************************** *******************************
// get thread info
$thread = verify_id('thread', $threadid, 1, 1);
$threadinfo = &$thread;

and below add:
if ($threadinfo['threadid'] == xx AND $bbuserinfo['posts'] < yy)
{
print_no_permission();
}

excellent....now my only question....only the items in RED are what i replace with the thread id number and the number of posts required, but only in the code that i ADD...i don't have to change anything in the original code in showthread?

just want to confirm this.

you have to replace the xx and yy in the additional code, nothing else to change in showthread.php :)
