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.)

Sounds really nice this hack, anyone using this without problems?

Could an admin/mod please change this thread's title to "Maximum New Threads/Replies per Day Per Usergroup"?

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.

@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.
