I have a forum which is devoted to selling/buying on my site and we currently use formhack. What we need is to require a user to input name/price/location, ect. The problem that we currently have is that the hack we use lets anyone submit a thread.

I want to require users to have 25 posts to post or reply to a thread, but 0 posts to view. Is this currently possible with this mod?

Thanks!

A user can post form without forum permissions - so you could deny everyone posting access

Add to Form Hook: Form Start

PHP Code:

if($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] < 25)
{
$errormessage = "You need at least 25 posts to post in this forum.";
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('STANDARD_ERROR') . '");');
}

What PHP version are you using?

Apache 2.2.8

PHP 5.2.5

I thought it might be php 4 error but obviously not. You could try replacing:

PHP Code:

$newpost['username'] =& $vbulletin->userinfo['username']; 


with

PHP Code:

$newpost['username'] = $vbulletin->userinfo['username'];

This won't solve it but it will help me find the problem.

Find in plugin: Easy Forms Part 1

PHP Code:

build_new_post('thread', $foruminfo, $threadinfo, array(), $newpost, $errors); 


Add Before:

PHP Code:

print_r($newpost);
exit;

Try upgrading to version 3.1

[SouthpawK]

Can someone please tell me where to go to set up my form? I swear I am not a stupid person, I have downloaded and installed this just fine. I can see the options in vb options for allowing usergroups, navbar links and such but I am missing where to set up my forms at. Yes, I followed the installation instructions but nothing.

I feel like I am in the twilight zone...what am I missing?

Thanks
