Minimum posts to use pm's

Minimum posts to use pm's

What does this hack do?

This allows you to have an option in your admin cp where you can define a minimum number of posts that a user must have to use pm's. If the user doesn't have enough posts they will get an error telling them they need so many posts (which you defined in the admin cp) to view the pm's.

Mist- Can a user still receive PM's if they are under the post limit?

Dean C

02-07-2003 03:47 PM

Yes but they can't view them. They will get a pop up message still if it is set in the usercp. I could easily cut out the pop-up message too if you would like that?

I send pm's to new users when they register, and would like them to view. Also, if I set say the min to 15 posts, or whatever, and they have 5 posts, and I need to pm them for one reason or another, they wouldn't be able to read the pm. It would be great if they could read, but not send until they have the req number of posts.

Dean C

Gimme a few days to think about that :)

Smoothie

02-07-2003 03:52 PM

my biggest problem with the pm system is knowing that someone can register, not post, and send pm's to other members.

Smoothie

02-07-2003 04:00 PM

maybe a check box; can view but cannot send as an option?

By viewing pm's I hope you mean read them, not just view the pm title.....

getting an error when I run the query....

Dean C

02-15-2003 10:25 AM

Post up the error?

And yes you can read them and not just view the pm title....

Teck helped me, here is the correct query:

PHP Code:


		
			
INSERT INTO setting (settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,'19','Minimum Posts','pmminposts','0','Here you define the number of posts a user must have before he/she can use the private message system.','','18')

Yes, it works fine. Might want to update the hack. :laugh:

Mist,

MASSIVE THANKS, Using your pm hack i have understood VB a lot more and have created a hack that does the same except for the quiz hack. As a lot of my users just joined to do the quiz and were not posting.

Thanks

It didnt work :-(
When i ran that Sql query in PhpMyadmin:
This showed up:

Error

SQL-query :

$DB_site * > query(

"INSERT INTO setting(settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,val ue,description,optioncode,disp layorder) VALUES (NULL,19,'Minimum Posts','pmminposts','0','Here you define the number of posts a user must have before he/she can use the private message system.','','18')"
)

MySQL said:

You have an error in your SQL syntax near '$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO setting(settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,val u' at line 1

I'm using Vb 2.2.5

N9ne	03-26-2003 07:05 PM

Run this query instead:

PHP Code:


		
			
INSERT INTO setting(settingid,settinggroupid,title,varname,value,description,optioncode,displayorder) VALUES (NULL,19,'Minimum Posts','pmminposts','0','Here you define the number of posts a user must have before he/she can use the private message system.','','18');

Thankyou very much Mist,
Very useful hack so that people don't register just to send advertisements about their site via PM..

One thing you may want to update in your instructions though..

Code:

Find in private.php:



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



require ("./global.php");



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

Should be:

Code:

Find in private.php:



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



require("./global.php");



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

(There's no space between the "e" from require and the opening bracket "(").

[high]* Oblivion Knight clicks install.[/high]

Great hack, easy and simple and works for vb 2.3.3

To add this functionality for the eMail feature, too, add this to member.php

Look for this:

Code:

  if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid']==3) {

    //don't let people awaiting email confirmation use it either as their email may be fake

    show_nopermission();

  }

add below

Code:

  if ($bbuserinfo[posts] < $pmminposts) {

   eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_pmminposts")."\");");

  }

Edit the template to reflect the change:

Sorry you need to have $pmminposts posts before you can use the private message system or the email function.

That's it :)

Hmm, how to prevent other users from sending them a PN?

Nevermind, I placed a.m. code in the member.php where the sending mechanism is, so people can read and do stuff, but don't send. :)
