Require X posts in the last Y hours to play games in the arcade

by ~006

Let me start out by saying that I made this hack for the V3Arcade system. All credit for that hack goes to John. If you can think of any other pages that this limitation hack could be used for, let me know and I can code it.

I know ever since the V3Arcade was released, we all have been noticeing new members signing up only to spend time in the arcade. They may post once or twice, but for the most part they do not post. Instead they just suck your bandwidth. What can you do about this? Well, with this hack you can customize the number (x) posts required in the last (y) hours. This is all on a per usergroup basis.

There are other ways people have been doing this, such as base arcade access on postsperday. This is a bad way to do this because if somebody goes out of town for a week, their posts per day will suffer. Soon it becomes impossible to get your posts back to the minimum posts per day level. This hack is fair to all members based on usergroups.

This hack adds two new usergroup fields, and adds the option to edit these fields directly form your admincp. It is very self explanatory.

The hack may not seem like much, but I put a lot of time into it, so I would appreciate it if everyone would click install!

PLEASE CLICK INSTALL! That's all I ask.

*Please do not edit or redistribute this hack without my permission. Thanks!

Did you set the usergroup settings for your test? Also do you actually have 5 posts in the last 2 hours? For testing purpases I always set the minimum to 1 more than I had in that spedified time period. Try that.

hmm. Well I had set the usergroup settings for the one that the user test was in. I put 5 posts in 2 hours. That's what I really want it at. I went to the arcade and it gave me permission crap

Hmm. I know the aliensoup owner, he had told me how to install a minimum post thing. I think that it's getting in the way now.. Because when I delete the line in the arcade where it showed it. And insert yours. Login as a user and it says " You do not have the ten posts necessary to play in the arcade " . So I give him 11 posts and he can play in the arcade. So did I run a query, and if so can I take it out?

I know I ran a query just forgot what it was called.

DO NOT delete any line in the arcade.php. Read the instructions. It says "Add below," not "DELETE." PM me with your arcade.php and I will make the edits for you..
