You shouldn't need a modification for that. It can be achieved through forum permissions, user groups and automatic promotions.

The basic steps are:

Set up a user group that has one set of permissions--call it "new members" and set everyone to become a member of that group upon joining.

Set up another user group that has a different set of permissions--call it "seasoned members"

Set up the automatic promotions to move users from the first group to the second when they make YYY posts.

You're the second person this week to tell me that you have too many usergroups, so you need a hack to do something with permissions!

How many user groups do you have? Are you using secondary as well as primary usergroups? A user can be a member of several usergroups--and the permissions add.

Maybe you can find somebody to write a modification for you, but there are built-in ways to do what you want.

You got excited my friend


Here is the code which require min post to view a forum (default by tnguy3n - Required X Posts to Make New Thread in Y Forum(s)
Support: http://www.vbviet.org )

[xml]<hookname>forumdisplay_start</hookname>[/xml]

PHP Code:

// min post required to create thread
$minpost = 5;

// special groups which isn't restricted by this hack
$specialgroups = array(5,6,7);

// forums where this rule effects, use commas to seperate multiple forums
$forumid_req_minpost = array(2);

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], $specialgroups) AND ($vbulletin->userinfo[posts]< $minpost) AND in_array($foruminfo['forumid'], $forumid_req_minpost))
{
    standard_error(fetch_error('cant_create_thread_without_x_posts'));
}
// end mim post to create new thread 


this script works fine but still show the forum which user has less than X posts, I don't know how to add script to Hide the X Forums

Please can someone help me?
