Limit on number of posts, based on user type... was created by gilliad
Hi...

Is it possible, to restrict the number of posts depending on user type??

Eg.:

registered users = max 10 posts
silver users = max 200 posts
gold users = unlimited posts

No, this is not possible without hacking the source code. Perhaps you or someone might be able to do that.

What izactly are you trying to limit the users access to based on post count ?

I wrote a hack a while ago that stops users with low post counts accessing certain forum categories.
www.kunena.org/forum/114-user-written-ha...st-count-restriction

If you require it for another purpose let me know.

Also based on user type is a easy solve.
Code:
$user =& JFactory::getUser(); //This would be for guest users if($user->get('guest') == 1) { } //This would be for registered users if($user->get('guest') == 0) { } // This would be super admins if($user->get('gid') == 25) { }

I mostly use the gid's from sessions to control user access.
Code:
if($user->get('gid') == 25) { } gid = 18 //is a registered user gid = 19 //is a author gid = 20 //is a editor gid = 21 //is a publisher gid = 23 //is a manager gid = 24 //is a administrator gid = 25 //is a super admin gid = 1 //is a guest gid = 0 //is not a guest

I want it so that basic members can not post more than 5 posts in the forum, after the 5 posts, they are blocked for writing, they can only read.

paying members can post more depending on their membership.

I am going to take a look at this later today.
