Require X Uploads Before Allowing Download

This modification will allow administrators to set a limit for each usergroup, this limit is the number of uploads a user must have in order to download, otherwise an error message is returned. Very simple, yet effective, and good to stop members joining and just leeching all of your files.

Files To Edit: 2
Phrases To Add: 1
Templates To Add: 0
Templates To Modify: 0
Queries To Run: 1

Estimated Installation Time: 5 - 10 Minutes

Update:
Error message now shows how many files you need to upload before you can download, and how many files you have currently uploaded.
To update, edit the phrase added with the new text specified in the installation, and re-do the attachments.php file edit

Enjoy

When you manage a usergroup, the setting is displayed, this allows you to only set limits for usergroups of your choice

How do u do this part, the other steps are easier to do but I do not think I see this in my Admin.c/panel or at server area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
STEP 1: - Run A DB Query
Run this query via your ACP, change "vb3_" to your table prefix.

------------------------
alter table vb3_usergroup
add `attachrequire` int(15) not null default '0';
------------------------
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Got it Config has to be edit back & forth

Just wondering to anyone who has used this....Does this hack seem to coz any extra spam on the site with members posting fake and old stuff just so they can download files?

I am going to install this a little later on, once my site grows bigger, and set it to just one upload...I think that will make less leachers with minimal spam...What do you guys think

Thanks http://www.gamerzneeds.net/forums
