minimum post to view threads

I know there 2 or 3 haccs for this but can someone make one that works with vbulletin 2.3.2

How do you plan to make this work for new users? How can someone make a post if they start out with 0 posts and cannot see active threads to reply to and join in on?

Make it to where they can only post in ceratin sections first.
Alot of stuff on my site is adult material so don't really need the people who aren't actively on the forums to just look at the pics/movies and spank off.

time for multiple usergroups and access masks ^^

That would be alot of user groups and some serious changing for about 700 members. That's why it was easy with the minimum post to view threads.

very ez with vb3 ^^ where vbulletin manages promotions for you

[Rampag33]

Yeah I would have upgraded to vb3 but way too haccs installed.

Have you tried all the Minimum Posts to Views Threads hacks? There are 2 be Lesane which work very well. If they dont, i'll make one for you

[Rampag33]

Yeah I've tried them all. They work on all vb's under 230
none of them work on anything thats 230 and higher and I'm running v232.

Ok, open newthread.php and find:

PHP Code:

updateuserforum($foruminfo['forumid']); 


Above add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo[posts] < 20)
{
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_notenoughposts'")."\");");
} 


(You can change 20 to whatever number you want)

Creat a new template called 'error_notenoughposts'
with the contents:

You do not have enough posts to create a new thread.
