i wrote it but when i tried to bullet it, it went all pear shaped, in short, no more questions :p
thanks to Dean for the assistance :)
in "/forums/forumdisplay.php" find
// check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set
verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);
and addove it add
$facffa_checkforums = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_checkforums']);
$facffa_excludeusergroups = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_excludeusergroups']);
if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups)))
{
// forum activity check
$definedtime = ($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivitytime'] * 86400);
$limit = TIMENOW - $definedtime;
$recentpostcount = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]
AND dateline >= $limit
");
if ($recentpostcount['total'] < $vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivityposts'])
{
eval(print_standard_error('facffa_checknotenoughpo sts'));
}
}
now shoot over to the "/forums/showthread.php" and find
// ************************************************** *******************************
// get thread info
$thread = verify_id('thread', $threadid, 1, 1);
$threadinfo = &$thread;
and below that add
$facffa_checkforums = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_checkforums']);
$facffa_excludeusergroups = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_excludeusergroups']);
if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups)))
{
// forum activity check
$definedtime = ($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivitytime'] * 86400);
$limit = TIMENOW - $definedtime;
$recentpostcount = $DB_site->query_first("
SELECT COUNT(*) AS total
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post
WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]
AND dateline >= $limit
");
if ($recentpostcount['total'] < $vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivityposts'])
{
eval(print_standard_error('facffa_checknotenoughpo sts'));
}
}
