v3Arcade mod

I'm looking for a (simple?) mod that restricts access to the Arcade based on number of posts in the last x days. I know Arcade access can be regulated with promotions, but when the member is promoted unlimited access is granted, and I'm looking for an incentive to continous posting. I'm also aware of the Arcade Pass hack in combination with a points system, but frankly that seems like overkill for what I want to achieve. I was hoping for something simple like a template mod.

I did this the cheap and nasty way... in arcade.php find the first instance of:

Code:

$DB_site->free_result($result_gamesettings);

BELOW it add:

Code:

$jointime = (TIMENOW - $bbuserinfo['joindate']) / 86400; // Days Joined

        $postsperday = $bbuserinfo['posts'] / $jointime;



        if ($postsperday <= 3) {

                print_no_permission();

        }

Change 3 in that to whatever value you wish.. then as long as the member has a postsperday average that is above that number they can view the arcade, if not they get a no permission screen.

You don't want to use the number format in that. You don't really need to. ;)

Number format is BAAAD if you're not done with the numbers, especially when you're never displaying the output.

Change that line to:

Code:

$postsperday = $bbuserinfo['posts'] / $jointime;

Perhaps you can just answer one question? Hopefully it's not one of your secrets, but how would I make it so the error message is a custom message that I can set? I don't know how to make error messages in VB3 yet.. Thanks! :)

Sadly 006.. nor do I :(

Hopefully one of the vb3 expert hackers might be able to answer this question.

Good news Giveit2u43, I found this a few days ago. Found it very helpful with making custom error messages: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=64479

I've made a custom error message, but how do I edit arcade.php to call that error message?

Also, the members who do not have enough posts can still play games by going to the direct URL. They just click on the game in postbit.

Your best off setting up usergroup promotions and restricting access to the registered usergroup.
