Maximum New Threads/Replies per Day Per Usergroup

Hack Name: Maximum New Threads/Replies per Day Per Usergroup
Hack Version: 1.2
Hack Author: Kall
Release: 11 September 2004
Last Update: 19 April 2005
Description: Restricts specific Usergroups to a maximum number of new threads/replies per defined time (in hours).
Requested by: Several people on vb.org.
Credit for the base of the code goes to 006, from his 'Require X Posts per Day to play in Arcade' hack.

Files to edit: 3 (/admincp/usergroup.php, newthread.php and newreply.php)
New Phrases: 1
Other edits: 4 queries to run.

Update to v1.15: Added ability to restrict New Replies per Usergroup, corrected query. If you installed it prior to this edit, please re-download and apply the newthread modification block again.

Update to v1.2: Made all variables unique (appeneded $nzb to the front of each, so as to avoid conflicts with any other hacks).
Added template modifications to inform members of number fo new threads/replies remaining.
It actually works on newthread for versions above 3.0.4 now! (I had no idea. Sorry.)

Can this be applied to a single forum rather than the whole board?

It might be just what I'm looking for to restrict postings to a "trader sales" forum, to stop a particular member monopolising the forum.

kall	10-27-2004 09:51 PM

@marsauae.com: You have done something wrong. At a guess, you haven't run the database query to add that column.

trilObyte: most likely. Some form of check at the beginning like: if !(forumid) then do this script. I can have a look at it over the next few days, but am a bit busy at present.

If anyone wants to do this addition, that's cool too. I'll add it to the first post and credit your contribution.

kall,

this might be THE hack i need. I have one question: Can I restrict the Max number of threads to a particular forum?

Thanks!

You *could* ... you would just need to stick an IF statement around the entire code I add to the various files.

MarcoH64 has released an excellent 'posts per Forum per usergroup' hack...

Interestingly enough, the code looks very familiar.. lol

Thanks for the credit.

If this was also per forum based.. it would be awesome. :)

Very nice hack -- I needed the update (from version 2.x) of this -- nice job!

Screenshots? I'm having a hard time figuring out where the "You may start $nzbpostsremaining more replies today." goes in my newthread & newreply templates. Thanks!

Nice hack.

Can it be used if I am interested to resrict members of a usergroup to One posting per their subscription period, which they are permitted to edit at any time and which will be deleted after their subscription period ends ?

Thank You,

Avi

So your subscription would have to change the main group for this to work.
I dont think Kall will do this for me nor care about vb's mood swings but you can ask and see if he will adjust that for you. OR you can do what you ask with the work around I just stated.

I am interested to help develop it, but not alone, meaning I can work on that project if someone will be doing/discussing it with me. Can ANYONE help, PLEASE :-).

You can send me a private message, I will be checking those often.

We use subscriptions with only secondary groups as well. I think it's a better overall method (keep primary groups limited, all additional and flucuating perms come from secondary groups). Here's my idea. Someone smack me if I'm stupid... ;)

For example:

Code:

$nzbmaxnewthread = $DB_site->query_first("

                SELECT maxnewthread AS number FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup 

                WHERE usergroupid=$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] 

        ");

Becomes

Code:

$nzbmaxnewthread = $DB_site->query_first("

                SELECT max(maxnewthread) AS number FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup 

                WHERE usergroupid IN $bbuserinfo[membergroupids] 

        ");

This way we get the maximum value for the given variable for all the groups the user belongs too. Since a value of zero means no max, only non-zero values will give us a limit.

I want this to apply only in a given forum though, not site wide. I don't know if the forum-permissions will take this into account?

Is that version working? Did you ever test your database query to work?

I know about the other one, located:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=96848
but its per forum per user group per time..
in other words:
If I have 3 forums and set 3 new threads per each forum per x hours, group will end up with 9 threads per x hours..
While I want what your hack do, a Max 3 new threads per x hours per group regardless forums..

Can you please do it for 3.5.x

Regards
