Limit Attachment Downloads based off Posts!!! Help Please

Does anyone know how to limit downloading of forum attachments based off post count?

You can modify the template attachmentbit.

Code:

<!-- code corrected, see post #5 below -->

<if condition="[s]$vbulletin->userinfo['postcount'][/s] >= 50">

<tr>

        <td class="$bgclass">

                <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_attach]/$attachment[attachmentextension].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[attachmentextension]">$vbphrase[file_type_x]</phrase>" width="16" height="16" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle" />&nbsp;<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]" target="_blank">$attachment[filename]</a>

        </td>

        <td class="$bgclass">

                $attachment[filesize]

        </td>

        <td class="$bgclass" align="center">

                $attachment[counter]

        </td>

</tr>

<else />

<tr>

        <td class="$bgclass" colspan="3" align="center">You do not have enough posts to download attachments.</td>

</tr>

</if>

Change the 50 to whatever post count you want it to be. If you want to make it more advanced than that, you should post a mod request.

Templates should use $bbuserinfo instead of $vbulletin->userinfo. Also, postcount may be the post number at the location - maybe spit it out and see (like this is post #4)

Ah, I just kinda wrote it without thinking. Yeah, I agree $bbuserinfo is a much better way to go about it. I think it would then be...

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['posts'] >= 10">

<tr>

        <td class="$bgclass">

                <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_attach]/$attachment[attachmentextension].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[attachmentextension]">$vbphrase[file_type_x]</phrase>" width="16" height="16" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle" />&nbsp;<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;d=$attachment[dateline]" target="_blank">$attachment[filename]</a>

        </td>

        <td class="$bgclass">

                $attachment[filesize]

        </td>

        <td class="$bgclass" align="center">

                $attachment[counter]

        </td>

</tr>

<else />

<tr>

        <td class="$bgclass" colspan="3" align="center">You do not have enough posts to download attachments.</td>

</tr>

</if>

hmmm that doesn't seem to work either, it seems like vbulletin is ignoring the if statements and still letting them download.

Keep in mind that there is such a thing as browser caching, and post caching. When testing this, make sure you're clearing your brower's cache.

How to clear the cache for the page you're viewing
For Firefox: hold SHIFT and click the refresh button on the toolbar
For Internet Explorer: hold CTRL and click the refresh button on the toolbar

I am pretty sure ['posts] won't work if a user has more than 1,000 posts because of the comma. That variable $post['posts'] gets formatted prior to use in the postbit templates. I think you need to write a plugin to get the 'real' unformatted posts to use in a condition.

Ok. I've tried your updated code, Cleared my browsers chache & cookies and It's still not working on the forum. I think Lynne may be right that some of the variables are incorrect.

Thanks.

It's not that the variable is wrong, it's just that you can't use it in a condition since it's formatted. You need to write a plugin, maybe using postbit_display_start?, to grab the posts number *before* it gets formatted.

Is that so? I was under the impression that PHP operated like Perl in that it would convert the string to a number for comparison - but perhaps the number is converted to a string for comparison instead...

If that's the case... Then yes... We'd have to collect the post count before the template runs. I... Don't really know if I want to take this mod on. You should post a mod request.
