=======
Release of this hack for vB v3.6:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123002
=======


Info:
This product allows you to set permissions based on user?s post count for:
-viewing forum (threads listing),
-viewing threads content,
-creating new threads,
-replying to threads,
-viewing attachments,
-Viewing/Posting links/images and e-mail addresses,
-sending private messages,
-sending e-mails.

This will disallow members with no permissions to view forums/threads/posts/links through normal view, printthread, search, archive*, thread preview. Note that you can set Forum/Thread Permissions for each forum/sub-forum separately. Screenshot shows additional options in Forum Manager and error messages shown to user when trying to view restricted area.

*-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Thread Listing In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to see thread listing in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.
-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Threads Content In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to read threads in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.


How it works and why it's better than vB Promotions system...
First of all it's very easy to use.

Forum is shown on forumhome but if you have no needed post count you'll see lock icon and predefined error message when try to access. When you set this via vB Promotions system forum is hidden on forumhome and you must create additional usergroup to make all this working.

When user collect needed amount of posts he will be able to access protected forum immediately. When you set this via vB Promotions system then user must wait until Promotions task is executed ... then he will be able to access protected forum. How much time user must wait it depends on settings in AdminCP/Scheduled Tasks... and if you set this to run every minute it pushes your server. If you set it to 2 or more minutes then user must wait more and more... and nobody like it.


Thanks to:
grog6 - plugin was inspired by his original hack for vB 3.0.x.
macooper - for help with creating first version of plugin for vB 3.5.0.

Let me play the devil's advocate here for a second. If you set that number any higher than 0, then how would new users ever be able to see anything until they can post? And if they can't see it, they can't post. A catch-22? ;)

Or am I missing something somewhere, which has been known to happen quite a bit lately, it seems. ;)

I don't want to sound arrogant or anything, but IMHO this Hack is useless: Promotions are a built-in Feature of vBulletin and are the way to go.
but that requires additional usergroups
maybe its good if you only want one registered group to hassle with and then keep them out of certain forums till they post enough

i personally hate managing any more groups that really need too
this will save me a group if i find a need for this hack

Boofo
09-18-2005, 11:05 PM

I understand that but unless it's sets to 0, they never will be able to see the forum it is turned on for. ;)

And Kirby is right, in his non-arrogant way (;)), promotions are excellent for this kind of stuff. They don't really get used enough.

But the idea is good. ;)

09-18-2005, 11:07 PM

people usually don't use promotions because nobody use them... and more promotions means more usergroups to manage, and that, is not good on mega forums...

i prefer myself some hardcoded features like this one, so i'm not always making new promotions for forums i visit less...

Andreas
09-18-2005, 11:12 PM
They can also view single posts, print threads, use the archive to view everything, subscribe to threads (and thus get replies emailed), reply to threads, use search (and see some part of the threads there) ... very insecure

Valter

Agree!

You set for example that user must have 10 posts to access forum "x".
User is posting his 10th post.
Now he must wait until promotions task is executed. How much he will wait it depends on settings in AdminCP Scheduled Tasks. If you set smaller value it will push your server.

Here you can access forum automatically after posting your 10th post. And whole forum is not hidden on forumhome. You just get "no permission" error message when trying to access forum which requires post count xx to access.

Boofo
09-19-2005, 02:01 AM
So you're saying 10 posts board-wide (in your example)? I thought each forum had it's own setting. Then this would make more sense if it was board wide. Sorry I didn't catch on sooner. ;)

Valter
09-19-2005, 02:22 AM
You can set these permissions for each forum/subforum separately ;)

Boofo
09-19-2005, 02:50 AM
You can set this permissions for each forum/subforum separately ;)

But do posts in other forums count towards the setting in a forum? If not, that brings me back to the "how can you get access to a forum if you can't post in it?" I guess I still don't get it. Don't mind me. Time for my nap. ;)

09-19-2005, 03:44 AM

Yes, 100%.

Did you tried this plugin?
Not when I made my original Post, but did try it now.

Please try plugin before writting such things...
Tried it now.
And I am sorry having to say it, but: All the Problems I mentioned are there.
You can view all content through Archive, Printthread, make Replies, etc.

This hack is useless to you because you don't have a use for it. I use this hack for my board because it simplifies things. To do the same with promotions, I need multiple seperate user groups per forum. I have 4 forums that require access control in this way, so that's a large number of user groups to manage, each with it's own configuration.

Your right in the sense that you can do the same thing without this hack. But there are a large number of hacks that just make things more convenient. This is one such hack.

Valter
09-19-2005, 12:56 PM
But do posts in other forums count towards the setting in a forum?
Yes.

You set for example:
-0 posts needed to access forum "x".
-20 posts needed to access forum "y"


User can post in forum "x" regularly and when his post count is "20" then he can access forum "y". Until that he will get "no permission" error message when trying to access forum "y".

$forum['reply_nb'] = 0
to
$forum['reply_nb'] = 0;
Then save plugin and problem is fixed.

This is now updated in attached APBOUPC1.2.xml.

*You can view only parts of posts in search results (when searching for user's posts). I will see if I can do something here. Not sure how to fix this... I can make that user can not search other user's posts if his post count is less than xx (I can put this in options). I don't know how to make that posts are not shown in search results if posted in not accessible forum.

I don't know what it can be but plugin works perfect on my vB 3.5.1.

You can remove plugin columns from database by running following 4 queries:
ALTER TABLE forum
DROP accessf_nb

ALTER TABLE forum
DROP accesst_nb

ALTER TABLE forum
DROP create_nb

ALTER TABLE forum
DROP reply_nb

If you experience problems that your users (or you) can not get results on searching new posts please re-upload plugin (v2.1) and check "Allow Overwrite". You'll not loose any settings or data, it's 100% safe.

Please all take a minute to upgrade to 2.1.

Sorry for any inconveniences.

EDIT: Could someone help me and tell me what needs to be done in this line so i can have the donators group excluded as well.

Original:
($vbulletin->userinfo[usergroupid]!=6))

I done this (doesnt work :) )

i like the hack but one problem once i set the rule of amount to post in the same thread there's no way to post anything unless the user post some where else can something be implented in which they can post something and once they get to that post amount then they can view it later something like the hide hack this hack will be great if you can use it that way. :ermm:

prows

Well this hack does that already. You can set 0 posts for user to view the forum and then set specific number of posts to view threads. So they could post new threads but wouldnt be able to see other threads in that section until they get certain amount of posts.

Please check it again and be sure that there is no other hack or something which makes that problem. Also be sure you have installed latest version (2.1). There was problem with search function in 2.0 and is fixed in 2.1.

Download latest XML and import it with "Allow overwrite" checked.

I tried to debug this error. Finally, I have got the result.

To fix this error, just remove condition in hook forumdata_start. It's named xxxxx - Valid Fields

Original Code

if ($vbulletin->options['apboupc_forum'])
{
$this->validfields['accessf_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['accesst_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['create_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['reply_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);}

Replace :
$this->validfields['accessf_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['accesst_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['create_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);
$this->validfields['reply_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);

NOTE

1. If you remove "condition" by yourself, DONT forget "}"
2. The error occurs by one condition setted wrong place. I *guess* because of this, some *features* don't work correctly (as I checked up, the "viewing attachments" permission doesn't work)

Good luck all.

Congrate you could fix that error (updating forums manager).

I will spend time to find out another errors tomorrow. I believe that there are a lot of bugs in rest.

About your question, just look at this : $this->validfields['reply_nb'] = array(TYPE_INT, REQ_NO);}. The '}' is too small. I think someone can forget to remove it (if they remove the "condition" by themselves), so I only wanna remind those. It's not to fix viewing attachments permission bug.

However, that bug (and some) is a similar problem with the last bug.

ok, i've read over all posts in this thread and will post my results from a dev site.

Only add-on for the dev site at this time is the punch system.
Vb - version 3.5.3
apache 2.2.0
mysql 4.1.16-max
php 4.4.2

I have no issue with the archive and it functions fine.

Only issue im seeing is the attachments are showing regardless of the post count i set in the access options.

Will upgrade to vb 3.5.4 tomorrow if i can get the attachment issue fixed.


Edited to add:
Uninstalled the punch system, the attachments are still viewable by the users with a post count below 10 that i set.

Thank you very much for the great valuable hack..

I would like to use it but with the following change..

Instead of the dependence on post count, I want it to allow or disallow depending on userid.

why..
because I have earnest members discussing a matter, others interrupt it with usless posts, and I want to decide who can join the discussion per forum per user..

So, in the following pic
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=41771

Inseated of minimum post count, I want the feild to be for userIDs separated by commas..

Please don't advice me about creating new groups..

In his last post he said he wont be doing any more features i think. But if he does im sure he could do this.

I know you said you dont want to do usergroup but i think this may be the best option for now anyway.

I currently have something like this on my board, and if you want to be the only person to accept people in that usergroup then make yourself the only leader. basically people can apply and you are the only person that can accept them, so you will know who has access and who doesnt. If you want someone to have access without having them to apply then just add them from the admincp, works good either way.

its a great hack, i really love it and have installed it on all forums.

i want to request one feature, its small but i wasnt able to make that change as am not a php guy.

please note, there is one serious issue with use of this hack. A search engine robot, like Googlebot, MSN bot and Yahoo SE robot will not be able to see content of page. These bots will see lot of pages, but wont be able to see the actual content on the page. So they will see that all pages have a similar message of >> your post count should be more than 1.

This will cause deletion of pages from their search index and will result in no traffic on site from Search Engines.

I see one solution to this situation

We can allow those visitors where the user agent is Googlebot or msnbot

I saw one code of this nature at one other application, maybe that can give you an idea to improve the hack


<%
bstring = lcase(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT"))
If instr(bstring, "googlebot") > 0 then
If isEvents then Call logEvent("Custom1", "Googlebot was here", Empty, Empty, Empty, Empty)
End If
%>

Thanks a lot in advance.
Hope to see these changes happening

Yep, or any other selected usergroup.

I can't ask them for any posting or anything else, they are paying money.

This new feature will be great! Hope to see it soon!

Is it possible to allow members to view a certain forum if they've posted, say, 100 posts a month with this hack?

Has this been added to the upgrade?

I would like to know how can I add some text to the attachment message?
Right now it says: To view attachments your post count must be greater or equal to 100

I would like it to say:
To view attachments your post count must be greater or equal to 100, but if you don't want to wait, click here and become a paid member now!

I've been trying to add the text with no success, please help.

Thanks!!!

great hack!

maybe an idea for the next upgrade
instead of totally disableing the attachments for users with < X amount posts, let them view the thumbnail and then when they click it to see the full sized version they get the error that they need X amount of posts (some javascript popup box or something)

Okay, for some reason this has made the max pm length to 5000 characters.

this is the message i just got

The text that you have entered is too long (9255 characters). Please shorten it to 5000 characters long.

that is so small lol.

Celtic_Mad,
You can NOT do what you want with this hack.

hornstar1337,
This hack has nothing with your problem.

webgroup,
You need to edit phrase "error_postcount_too_low_attachment". Momentarily "100" must stay at the end. I'll change this in the next version.

I'm trying but its not working, I also tried editing the xml with the same luck.

always the 100 shows at the end oh the message:

To view attachments your post count must be greater or equal to , but if you don't want to wait, click here and become a paid member now! 100

Version 2.9 - May 27.2006.
-Added ability to hide last post info for choosen forums
-"To view attachments..." phrase is now more flexible. Now required post count number must NOT be at the end. Add {1} where you wish to show required post count number and add {2} where you wish to show user's post count in phrase.

from who hide the last post??i see in the screen shot that you select forums that wont hide the last post,byt when users show the last post and when not.

EDIT:
I fount that hide tha last post etc hide from all user the last post (also for admins moders d.moders)

----------------------------

Edit.

I have one question about the "Private Messages Permissions"
There's only an "allowed usergroups" option (very neat btw), but not an "excluded usergroups" one

Think maybe that can be added in a next upgrade? ;)

and oh yea, does this hack do extra querries each time or does it work with info vbulletin pulls up by default anyway?

I love this hack.

The only issue I have is that if a user goes to send a pm, they get the 'no permission' message after they hit submit. That means they can spend ages typing out a message only to be disallowed.

In my opinion it would be much fairer to give them the 'no permission' message when they first hit 'reply' or 'send pm'
