For Sale Con Men

[wastegate]

Hi sorry if this has been done or suggested before but I run http://www.performanceforums.com and we have a dedicated for sale section where ppl can sell thier old parts etc on the section free of charge, what I wanna do though is limit it so that only members of a certain number of day /and posts can make new threads in the for sale section.. Any way of doing this?

First install Advanced Templates Hack, then edit template newthread and add this code in the begining (before everything else!):

PHP Code:

[[($bbuserinfo[posts]<X and $forumid==Y)]]
You dont have permission to write here because you have less than X posts (You can use all HTML codes you want to design the error page nicely here)
[[/($bbuserinfo[posts]<X and $forumid==Y)]][[(!($bbuserinfo[posts]<X and $forumid==Y))]] 


Now go to the end of template and (after everything) add this

PHP Code:

[[/(!($bbuserinfo[posts]<X and $forumid==Y))]] 


Replace all Xs with min.post count to post in this forum and Y with your forumid. Please apply carefully and correctly and after you applied it, test your new template with different conditions (with a user less than X posts, user more than x posts, in forum Y, outside forum Y etc) to make sure you applied it correctly..

Enjoy..
