post count and user group

[ub3x]

Sorry if this already exists, but i'm looking for a hack for vbulletin 2.2.9 that will change a user's post count automatically when he reaches a certain post count.

Thanks.

if ($post[posts] >= 300) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET posts='XXXX' WHERE userid='$post[userid]'");
}

something like that?

[ub3x]

ok, where does that go? I am very new to Vbulletin and hacking it (2 days) .

hmm, put that before the ending ?> tag in global.php:

PHP Code:

if($bbuserinfo['posts'] >= xxx and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET usergroupid=x WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
} 


[ub3x]

that's it? then it'll all work out?

How do I find a groupid?

[Xenon]

yes that's it


by highlighting the edit group link in the acp you can see it

dude, arggg, okay, i'm an idiot, explain it to me like I am retarded, because I really have no idea what I should change in what you gave me.

i don't know the usergroupids of your board....

you have to find out yourself which usergroupid the new usergoup has.

if it's the first custom group it would be 8 or 9 depending if there's the banning group already..

I want it so that if the number of posts a user has 5 or more posts then he assigned to groupid 8 .

PHP Code:

if($bbuserinfo['posts'] >= 5 and $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 2) {
$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET usergroupid=8 WHERE userid=$bbuserinfo[userid]");
}
