[request] minimum posts to...post

Hey all,

I've been searching and searching in the database here to find the right hack for this, but have not been successful.

I have a need for setting a forum's access rights to the number of posts a member has. For example, MemberX needs 25 posts to both view AND post in FORUM_A. If MemberX has 21, say, he/she cannot post in the forum...not being able to see it would be a bonus also. If MemberX has 26, there are no access restrictions.

The closest hack I've been able to find and implement is a minimum posts to view....which MAY have it's place, but not for me...In this hack, you need x number of posts to READ a thread, but it doesn't prevent you from posting...i wish to prevent posting, NOT VIEWING.

Can someone plz point me in the right direction here? I'd be much appreciative...any questions to clarify, don't hesitate also.

in newthread.php find:

PHP Code:


		
			
// auto bypass queueing for admins/mods

Before that add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X AND $bbuserinfo[posts]<Y AND $foruminfo[forumid]==Z) {

show_nopermission();exit;

}

(Set X for the user group, Y for the minimum post number to post, and Z for the forumid)

Excellent man...appreciated...one last question..this should be a simple/stupid question, but nonetheless, I can't figure this out:

Where can I find the usergroup ID numbers? I've exhausted all my ideas to find out where...Or have I got to input the NAME of the usergroup, rather than some ID number like the forums?

Thx for your quick response!

Right...

No problems:)

Goto your Admin Control Panel...

Scroll down (on the left sidebar) untill you see the heading :
"User Groups"
Click on "Modify", and a list of all the groups should appear...
In the bottom left of your internet browser (presuming you use windows), a link will appear...Hover of the [edit] button of the usergroup id you wish to find, and a link will appear in the bottom left of the screen. The last digit on the end, say "8" for instance, is the usergroup id...

:)

Hope that helps...

Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X AND $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==X AND $bbuserinfo[posts]<Y AND $foruminfo[forumid]==Z) {

I think you just repeat like above here.

You'd actually want to 'OR' the two usergroupids together.

That's right. AND means you have to be in both, which is impossible.
