=========

Info:
This product allows you to set permissions based on user?s post count for:
-viewing forum (threads listing),
-viewing threads content,
-creating new threads,
-replying to threads,
-viewing attachments,
-Viewing/Posting links/images and e-mail addresses,
-sending private messages,
-sending e-mails.

This will disallow members with no permissions to view forums/threads/posts/links through normal view, printthread, search, archive*, thread preview. Note that you can set Forum/Thread Permissions for each forum/sub-forum separately. Screenshot shows additional options in Forum Manager and error messages shown to user when trying to view restricted area.

*-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Thread Listing In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to see thread listing in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.
-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Threads Content In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to read threads in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.

How it works and why it's better than vB Promotions system...
First of all it's very easy to use.

Forum is shown on forumhome but if you have no needed post count you'll see lock icon and predefined error message when try to access. When you set this via vB Promotions system forum is hidden on forumhome and you must create additional usergroup to make all this working.

When user collect needed amount of posts he will be able to access protected forum immediately. When you set this via vB Promotions system then user must wait until Promotions task is executed ... then he will be able to access protected forum. How much time user must wait it depends on settings in AdminCP/Scheduled Tasks... and if you set this to run every minute it pushes your server. If you set it to 2 or more minutes then user must wait more and more... and nobody like it.

Thanks to:

Something doesn't seem to work right. I've attached an image. Clicking on anything indicated with the red items I've circled, brings me to the following link:

Code:
http://www.mysite.com/vBulletin/misc.php?do=cyb_apboupc_setall
which is the page 'smilie list' page. Any ideas?

You must be SuperAdmin to access "Global-set" options.

Check vBulletin config file for options to set you as SuperAdmin.

Hi cybernecter,

I like the mod you wrote very much then I always install all your mods/ Especially the mod TopX and Mod Advanced Permissions Based on User's Post Count. Now I like you to write a version to make Advanced Permissions Based on User's Post Count mod has the following feature: A member must have an X THANKS to be able download an attachment file. In the ACP, admin can set the X Thanks of each box so that the member go to that box must have to download file in there. Can you integrate the Thanks Mod[click here] of Psionic Vision and create the feature for the next version"? Hope you understand and help me.

It's because I want the member of my site to contribute more, they have to obtain an X thanks to download a file. This will reduce spamming too. Thank you again and hope you have time to give me a help

Hey Cybernetic, nice mod.

I just have one question. I would like to restrict guest viewing of hyperlinks, but NOT images. I have looked and it seems I can either disable both or neither. Is there a way only link viewing can be blocked but not image viewing?

Thanks,
Andrew

When you post image you actually post link. It would be possible to separate that two functions but it would be little complicated and may be little hard to make it working properly. So I leave it together for now...

About thanks counts and permissions - please use Psionic's hack for that. This works only with post counts and I didn't planned to change it in the meantime.

Okay, thanks again Cyb.

I seem to be having another problem however. Even when I am logged in, I get a "No Link?" message in place of links and images that leads to the Registration Page. I have 500+ Posts and the posting limit for viewing links/img's is just 1. It seems to be random only showing the No Link message on certain posts.

Edit: Here are a few screenshots. The first one was when I was logged in viewing a users post. Then I refreshed and the images/links worked (screenshot2)
