Forbid Users from Posting Links or Images if They Have Fewer than 15 Posts

Just as the title says - if a user has fewer than 15 posts, he will be unable to post a link or an image within a message.

This mod was originally done by Erwin for VB 2.x, and is ported with his kind permission.

It is a product. To install, simply import the xml.

(please note Andreas's fixes below if you have problems with scripts that post automatically)

I don't know if this works or not, but this is what I have on one of the forums I am an admin at:

I did this to both postdata_presave and threadfpdata_presave hooklocations.

global $vbulletin;
		$pagetext =& $this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post');
		if (($vbulletin->userinfo[posts] < 7) and (stristr($pagetext,'[url') or stristr($pagetext,'[URL') or stristr($pagetext,'[email') or stristr($pagetext,'[EMAIL') or stristr($pagetext,'www.') or stristr($pagetext,'mailto:') or stristr($pagetext,'http://'))) 
    {
     		//eval(standard_error(fetch_error('error_nourlallowed')));
				$this->error('error_nourlallowed');
				$return_value = false;
    }

yes thats what i have tried above,
but on testing you can still post emails (as one spamer has already found out!)

but I haveny tried the :

or stristr($pagetext,'mailto:')

Ill give it a go!

[mpage]

nope it doesnt work, people can still pst spam and add attach emails to it, as they have already done on my site!

[davidw]

are you using

or stristr($pagetext,'[email') or stristr($pagetext,'[EMAIL')

or just

or stristr($pagetext,'[email')

EDIT: I just noticed a typo in my own code :P
EDIT2: Fixed typo

[mpage]

opps my mistake

you have to add:

or stristr($pagetext,'[email')
or stristr($pagetext,'[EMAIL')
or stristr($pagetext,'[ url')
or stristr($pagetext,'mailto:')
or stristr($pagetext,'@')

to both :
<hookname>postdata_presave</hookname> and <hookname>threadfpdata_presave</hookname>

works a treat now

err I'm lost on getting the plugin to work with emails...

I add this code:

or stristr($pagetext,'[email')
or stristr($pagetext,'[EMAIL')
or stristr($pagetext,'[ url')
or stristr($pagetext,'mailto:')
or stristr($pagetext,'@')

to both :
<hookname>postdata_presave</hookname> and <hookname>threadfpdata_presave</hookname>

to where? Am I suppose to use Erwins for 3.0 ??

Edit Amy's plugin

[syjech]

I hope this wont sound stupid. But I am still learning all this. WHere do I upload it to? What directory? Please help

[davidw]

You don't upload it - it is a product. For product installation, go to your admin control panel, Plugin System, Manage Products, Add/Import Product

[HUMMERh3]

There is no

<hookname>postdata_presave</hookname> and <hookname>threadfpdata_presave</hookname>

in amy's plugin.... Here is the entire code below.where do I add the code to includ EMAILS ?

or stristr($pagetext,'[email')
or stristr($pagetext,'[EMAIL')
or stristr($pagetext,'[ url')
or stristr($pagetext,'mailto:')
or stristr($pagetext,'@')
