Post Once Per Thread (popt)

Description:

Restricts users so they can only reply once to a thread.

A new section added to the vBulletin options provides the forum admin with the ability to specify a list of forum id's to be locked down - the usergroups id's to be locked - and the quantity of replies allowed. If a restricted user tries to reply more than the permitted quantity they will see the default vBulletin "no permission" screen, you may wish to alter the phrase for this error to include a section on posting more than the alloted limit.

This is a 3.6 port of an original hack here, credit where its due.

Just tested on 3.5.5 and it doesnt work - will look at this tonight to see if it is possible but dont hold much hope - 3.6 is the way forward

although Id like to ability to be able to block userids rather than groupid's

johnstires · #8 08-07-2006, 03:43 PM

I currently run 3.5.4.

If I run a patch or pluggin for 3.5.5 instead of doing the full upgrade, will that allow me to use this hack?

johnstires · #9 08-07-2006, 03:57 PM

Works on 3.5.4!

Sweet, thanks for making this hack.

Blame johnstires who asked for this hack, and blame Microsoft who drummed into my head on their training courses that you should always do restrictions by a group rather than an individual

The group can be either primary or secondary, doesn't really matter.
