posts per day determining what you can see

[gtsch]

I want to hide my shoutbox from people who aren't actively participating in the forums. I tried to do this with this code in the shoutbox template, but it didn't work.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day]>1"> ... </if> 

I added it at the beginning and end of this particular template, however it ended up making it disappear for everyone.

PHP Code:

<form action="vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl']}" method="post" name="vbshoutform" onsubmit="return postShout(this)">
<input type='hidden' name='do' value='shout' />
<input type='hidden' name='color' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontFamily' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontWeight' />
<input type='hidden' name='textDecoration' />
<input type='hidden' name='fontStyle' />

<div id='shout_emo' style='display:none'>
        <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
        <tr>

        </table>

Your conditional is wrong

This one should work:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[posts]>1">

$vbphrase[x_posts_per_day] is a phrase, it's text: {1} posts per day.

[merk]

It is more complex than that - youll need to derive the number of days the user has been registered for in a plugin, and divide their posts by that number.

He wants activity, not number of posts.

[RS_Jelle]

Indeed, that's also my opinion, but I only solved his problem with the conditional, so one post is necessary for viewing the shout box.

If you really want something for activity, you can use this (without plugins):

<if condition="$headerstime - 1209600 < $bbuserinfo[lastpost]">

With this conditional, the shout box is hidden for people who haven't posted for 14 days.
