Minimum posts to access forums XYZ

[lange]

I'm looking for this hack:

The members must post minimum posts by day (2, by example) to access forums D. E, etc. The posts have to be in forums A, B or C.

Thx

You can do this via template, open the FORUMDISPLAY template and at the very top add:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['posts'] < x AND $foruminfo['forumid'] == y">
<else />

and at the very bottom add:

</if>

Replacing x with desired amount of posts and y with the forum id.
Users will get a blank page if they cant access it.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed this is for posts per day - this will be total of posts for the user

Yes. Minimum posts per day.

I don't know how to do that.

I have no doc about promotion tricky. No doc about nothing.

admincp/usergroup.php?do=updatepromotion

Why not ?

The promotion system is irrelevant because it will apply to all forums.

[Zachery]

no its not, you can have multiple usergroups, so how is it irrelvelnt?

each usergroup can have access to a specific set of forums

Remember that the vB3 Admin Control Panel has alot of the documentation 'built in'. Just click the help icon (?) on something you don't understand
