Post Once Per Thread
 

Post Once Per Thread (popt)

Description:

Restricts users so they can only reply once to a thread.

A new section added to the vBulletin options provides the forum admin with the ability to specify a list of forum id's to be locked down - the usergroups id's to be locked - and the quantity of replies allowed. If a restricted user tries to reply more than the permitted quantity they will see the default vBulletin "no permission" screen, you may wish to alter the phrase for this error to include a section on posting more than the alloted limit.

This is a 3.6 port of an original hack here, credit where its due.

Installation

1. Download and install the attached product
2. Edit the "Post Once Per Thread" options in the AdminCP

NO Extra files
NO Template changes

Change Log:

7-Aug-06 : (1.01) Changed DB query so this works with 3.6 and 3.5.5
6-Aug-06 : (1.00) Initial release

nice , installed .

thanks and installed ...

work on 3.5.4?

Just tested on 3.5.5 and it doesnt work - will look at this tonight to see if it is possible but dont hold much hope - 3.6 is the way forward :)

Fixed to work with both 3.6 and 3.5.5 now

although Id like to ability to be able to block userids rather than groupid's :)

I currently run 3.5.4.

If I run a patch or pluggin for 3.5.5 instead of doing the full upgrade, will that allow me to use this hack?

Works on 3.5.4!

Sweet, thanks for making this hack.

Blame johnstires who asked for this hack, and blame Microsoft who drummed into my head on their training courses that you should always do restrictions by a group rather than an individual :)

The group can be either primary or secondary, doesn't really matter.
