need to reply to xx posts before you can start a new thread

is this even possible? it sounds simple on paper.

i need a hack that will make users reply to posts on my board before they can start new threads. Everyone wants to talk, but noone wants to reply.

is it possible to modify the "minimum posts to start new topic" hack to do this.

No offense but this sounds kind of pointless, if everyone is starting new threads and not replying you don't have a very good forum, slap down some rules and tell them not to just go around making new threads if they aren't replying to other ones. They'll eventually listen.

I'm not offended, but why is it pointless? I have 80 members, the average thread gets 7-8 replies. So i think the overall forum is doing ok, and yes, we do have rules. One of them just happens to be you must reply to 2 posts before you can start a thread. Not on the enrire board. just in one or two forums.

Anyway, if someone could point me in the right direction i'll work on it myself.

Here ya go. Not tested. I'm just doing it in few mins now.

Open newthread.php

below require("./global.php"); add

Quote:

$needthismuch = "5"; // Amount of posts needed to make thread

then all the way at the bottom find

Quote:

eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("newthread")."\");" );

and replace it with

Quote:

if ($bbuserinfo[posts] < $needthismuch){
eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("needposts" )."\",\"index.php\");");
}else{
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate("newthread")."\");" );
}

Downside to this hack. Applies to mods, admins, everyone. So as soon as he replies to 5 threads in my example he can make new threads. Done.. :) should work

this didnt work either........i tried modifying it but it either doesnt work at all or it completely prevents anyone from starting new threads. It doesnt change after x amount of replies. You still are unable to start a new thread.

edit newthread.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
$forumid=verifyid("forum",$forumid);

After that add:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($bbuserinfo[posts] < X AND ($bbuserinfo[usergroup]!=6 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroup]!=5 AND $bbuserinfo[usergroup]!=7)) {show_nopermission();exit;}

Replace X with the post count number..
