Need xx posts to make an new thread
 

Thanks to Lesane (my hack is based on his minimum number of days to make new thread hack)
And thanks to Xenon for beta testing and bugfixing

Screenie in next post ;)

Info:
This hack will add an extra field when you create or edit an forum wich alows you to set an minimum number of posts before users can make an new thread. If users don't have enough posts they will see an output stating the minimum number of posts needed.

Edit info:
5 edits in 2 files
1 SQL query
1 new template

Hope you'll enjoy this hack!

If you installed it please click "INSTALL", thank you ;)

[edit]
confirmed working on ALL 2.2.x version of vbulletin.

Important if you have installed Lesane's store hack 2.0 (only checked it on that one)
My script asks you to update admin/forum.php. Lesane's also did that. So be sure you do those steps very carefully!. If you update the db entries, you will find the code that I tell you to find not working. Just look at the difference and ADD the difference between done and undone (in my txt).

Sceenshot ;)

Looks good!

I'm going to upload now!

Nice feature, should defiantly be integrated into VB3
;)

Everything should be added to vb3 T_T

does it work on 2.2.5 ? ( cannto upgrade to 2.2.6 right now :p)

yes it does

well, I decided to just try, and yep, works like a champ on 2.2.5 :D

Great you all like it :) I am going to make some addons for it :)

what addon?

Not really addons, more like some sort of similar hacks. You'll see them when there here :)

Gonna Install it now!!!!! thx

Would it be possible to use this similarly to need_xx_posts_to_reply?

I want to have a support forum but I only want people who participate to be able to reply

yes, I'll work on it right now :)

Here it is, I didn't test this one though.

It has the same basics as the new thread, only this one works on reply's :p

YOU MUST HAVE THE NEW THREAD VERSION INSTALLED!

Good Hack...

dd hits "install"

Thanks m8. Nice job. This sure is a handy Hack.

Kinda need this right now ...

So far working on 2.2.9!

Thanks!

what about xx amout of post to enter a certain forum

Nice hack, we are looking for something like this.

There is a specific forum where we only want users who have more then 50 posts, can post a reply and/or start a new thread in.

I will try to install this hack on 2.2.9 and apply that little addon for the reply.

*hope all goes well*

great hack
but i have the Minimum Posts to view Forum hack installed
and i just installed ur hack, and whatever i change Minimum Posts to make a new thread to it automatically changes Minimum Posts to view Forum to the exact same number.

anyone?
pleaseee

What about min. posts/min. days? Basically a user needs 30 days or 30 posts before he/she can post in a specific forum? This would be great for classified sections. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hey,
I have this installed but its causing a problem with one of my forums (one that I know of anyway)

One of my members is complaining that he cant post in one of the forums but everyone else can, its set to 0 posts required for this specific forum but he is saying that he still cant post.

No-one else has had a problem posting though

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot,
John
