Required X Posts to Make New Thread in Y Forum(s)
Author: tnguy3n

This is port of my little hack I wrote for vB 3.0.x. you can view original hack here.

What this mod do is to disallows user with XX amount of posts to create New Thread in certain forums that you assigned. Of course, users can still view thread, reply to threads as normal, but not to make new thread until they meet the minimum number of required posts.

Open the plugin and adjust the value of $minpost, $specialgroups, and $forumid_req_minpost to fit your site settings.

// min post required to create thread
$minpost = 5;

// special groups which isn't restricted by this hack
$specialgroups = array(5,6,7);

// forums where this rule effects, use commas to seperate multiple forums
$forumid_req_minpost = array(2);

Looks good...I will see about using this :)

Thanks! EXACTLY what I needed!

/me hits install!

Too bad I didn't know this was going to be upgraded; already fixed this with usergroups + promotions now ;)

Perfect solution for me :)
installed

promotion is the good way too, but it gives you extra usergroup to manage.

This is great!

Thanks for updating this mod to 3.5.x

Could you post the sql query we have to run for the inexperienced SQL users :)

Thanks

I've imported the plugin, but I dont see Error Messages in the phrase type...

You're creating the phrase, not finding an existing.

I am aware of that dead7, when creating the phrase you need to choose the Phrase Type: Error Messages, and I cant find error meessages in the drop down menu of the phrase type.
