How to? No chat entrance unless X post?

[Chadi]

How can I apply an "if" conditional on my live chat links so that only members with 5 or greater forum posts can click the links?

I do not want to have to create a whole new usergroup because its too complicated for the situation here and also, by default the member group is where the new registered users start off at, I don't want to move thousands of members to a different usergroup just for this "if" conditional.

Thanks.

Within your vBulletin template, use:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['posts'] > 4">
<a href="http://yourdomain.com/link/to/chat">Enter chat!</a>
<else />
After 5 posts you can enter chat!
</if>

Thanks that worked

It may not work correctly once a user has over 1,000 posts because that is a formatted number. You should look into grabbing the unformated posts number (look in the code to find it) and then use that in your condition.
