Add-On Releases - Forbid Users from Posting Links or Images if They Have Fewer than 15 Posts

Just as the title says - if a user has fewer than 15 posts, he will be unable to post a link or an image within a message. This includes e-mail addresses and the system cannot even be fooled by the old user[at]email.com, we also locked that down.

It is a product. To install, simply import the xml via your Admin CP, Manage Products, Import New Product. No configuration is required.

I'm not sure if there are legal issues around posting the entire code, so here are the details: In the XML file, there are two code blocks surrounded by <phpcode> ... </phpcode>. In both those code blocks, you need to do the following:

Replace
<phpcode><![CDATA[
global $vbulletin;
...

With
<phpcode><![CDATA[if(!SKIP_SESSIONCREATE)
{
global $vbulletin;
...

And replace
$return_value = false;
}
]]></phpcode>

With

$return_value = false;
}
}]]></phpcode>

Thanks for detailing that info for me. I've got it in place now so I'll give it a go.

The RSS works but this hack does not on my board. Must be a conflict with something.
