Miscellaneous Hacks - VSa - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count

Info:

This product allows you to set permissions based on user’s post count for:
-viewing forum (threads listing),
-viewing threads content,
-creating new threads,
-replying to threads,
-viewing attachments,
-Viewing/Posting links/images and e-mail addresses,
-adding links to signatures
-voting on polls,
-sending private messages,
-sending e-mails,
-posting Visitor messages
-viewing Albums
-creating new Albums
-posting Picture comments
-viewing Social Groups
-creating new Social Groups
-posting Group messages

This will disallow members with no permissions to view forums/threads/posts/links through normal view, printthread, search, archive, thread preview. Note that you can set Forum/Thread Permissions for each forum/sub-forum separately. Screenshot shows additional options in Forum Manager and error messages shown to user when trying to view restricted area.

How it works and why it's better than vB Promotions system?!
Forum is shown on forumhome but with "Locked" icon and if you have no needed post count you'll get "no permission" error message. When you set this via vB Promotions system forum is hidden on forumhome and you must create additional usergroup to make all this working. When user collect needed amount of posts he will be able to access protected forum immediately. When you set this via vB Promotions system then user must wait until Promotions task is executed ... then he will be able to access protected forum. How much time user must wait it depends on settings in AdminCP/Scheduled Tasks... and if you set this to run every minute it pushes your server. If you set it to 2 or more minutes then user must wait more and more... and nobody like it.

Installation:
Import XML file (as product) through AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]

This is a good mod hope the Developer can update his work, he had dome many great mod which make Vbulletin such a good forum choice, but the lack of update is pushing us to find other option .

Is this mod works like this,

Minimum Posts needed (say 10 posts in the last 30 days) to Send PM to other members.

Hi i need like this, is this is possible,

To send a Private message to other members, they need atleast 10 Posts in the last 1 month (not in total, last one month post count should be 10).

I was tired in searching this for more than a month.. help me..

[reizaku]

Thank's bro ...

[rdrunnr]

Is there a mod that does the same thing based on number of days registered? So you can't access the same things until you've been register for 30, 60, 90, etc. days?

Not all in one package that I know of, I'll see what I can do when I have some time.

I know the developer of this mod is quite busy, so I would not expect that to happen within the foreseeable future.
