Forum Activity Check For Forum Access (Per Forum) · **Released**: 02-23-2005

FAQ
i wrote it but when i tried to bullet it, it went all pear shaped, in short, no more questions

thanks to Dean for the assistance

in "/forums/forumdisplay.php" find

PHP Code:


			
// check if there is a forum password and if so, ensure the user has it set

verify_forum_password($foruminfo['forumid'], $foruminfo['password']);

and addove it add

PHP Code:


			
    $facffa_checkforums = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_checkforums']);

    $facffa_excludeusergroups = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_excludeusergroups']);

    if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups)))

    {

        // forum activity check

        $definedtime = ($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivitytime'] * 86400);

        $limit = TIMENOW - $definedtime;

        $recentpostcount = $DB_site->query_first("

            SELECT COUNT(*) AS total

            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post 

            WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] 

            AND dateline >= $limit

        ");



        if ($recentpostcount['total'] < $vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivityposts'])

        {

            eval(print_standard_error('facffa_checknotenoughposts'));

        }

    }

now shoot over to the "/forums/showthread.php" and find

PHP Code:


			
// *********************************************************************************

// get thread info

$thread = verify_id('thread', $threadid, 1, 1);

$threadinfo = &$thread;

and below that add

PHP Code:


			
    $facffa_checkforums = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_checkforums']);

    $facffa_excludeusergroups = explode(",", $vboptions['facffa_excludeusergroups']);

    if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups)))

    {

        // forum activity check

        $definedtime = ($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivitytime'] * 86400);

        $limit = TIMENOW - $definedtime;

        $recentpostcount = $DB_site->query_first("

            SELECT COUNT(*) AS total

            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post 

            WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid] 

            AND dateline >= $limit

        ");



        if ($recentpostcount['total'] < $vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivityposts'])

        {

            eval(print_standard_error('facffa_checknotenoughposts'));

        }

    }

what's line 223?

esfron · #23 04-24-2005, 06:51 PM

223:

PHP Code:


			
    if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups)))

esfron · #24 04-24-2005, 07:41 PM

Right now as user, I made 1 posts in 1 day. I tryed to access to protected forum but I get:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home.../includes/init.php
Line: 27

Init.php is fine because the hack is working without the usergroups update. I replaced the last forumdisplay&showthread by the old ones.

esfron · #25 04-25-2005, 01:44 PM

OK. I fixed the last one.

Right now, I get "Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /showthread.php on line 319". Usergroups are not going to be excluded.

319 ->

PHP Code:


			
 if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups)))

Any idea ?
.

sabret00the · #26 04-25-2005, 01:50 PM

esfron · #27 04-25-2005, 02:17 PM

Usergroups:

Warning: in_array(): Wrong datatype for second argument in /showthread.php on line 319
AND
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home.../includes/init.php
Line: 27

Fix for forumdisplay:

PHP Code:


			
if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups)))

Fix for forumdisplay:

    {

To solve your problem replace in your forumdisplay.php & showthread.php this line

PHP Code:


			
if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $faffa_excludeusergroups))) 

    {

PHP Code:


			
if (($vboptions['facffa_checkforumactivity'] AND in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $facffa_checkforums) AND !in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], $facffa_excludeusergroups))) 

    {
