I got a hack request for anyone.


I been searching for a way to limit the ammount of replies to a thread. Example:

For only specified forum id such as 5 , 7 ,18 and 30

When a user is posting a thread there is an extra field called "Max replies".

They can fill it in and put a number between 1 - 50.

They post thier thread. And the first whatever users replied can reply but after the limit is reached it displays a message stating maximum replies have been reached for this thread.

An example of how this would work would be somthing like this.

I'm on my board and i just made a song for all my fans. I put the song as a hidden link in my post and ask that users reply. (Already have a hide hack installed) The first let's say 20 people who reply get to download my song. But after that all other users will get a message of "your too late!"

Anyone help me with this?

I found some old 2.x code on this site that might help....

if(in_array($threadinfo[forumid],array(13, 17, 19, 20, 26, 27, 33, 34, 44, 45, 51, 52, 58,  59 ))) { 
$posts=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS replies FROM post LEFT JOIN thread USING (threadid) WHERE post.userid=$bbuserinfo[userid] AND thread.forumid IN (13, 17, 19, 20, 26, 27, 33, 34, 44, 45, 51, 52, 58,  59 ) AND post.dateline > ".(time()-3600)); 
if($posts[replies]>=10) show_nopermission(); 


}

Thanks alot!
