Show or hide forums based on a user's post count, minimum and a maximum limits are both provided. Also includes post limits based on post count.



Admin Note:

This MOD allows board owners to set minimum (maximum) post counts required (allowed) to view or post in a forum. Until the user has obtained the minimum posts required to view a forum, the forum is invisible. If the user exceeds the maximum allowed then the forum is also hidden. There are similar controls for posting, allowing the board administrator the option of setting a minimum post count required to post in a specific forum.

The minimum post requirement could be used to prevent users from viewing any special forums until they have participated at some level in the other forums on the board.

The maximum post allowance can be used to hide "beginner" forums from more experienced forum members. For example, you might want to have a forum with lots of "welcome" and rules posts that eventually gets hidden as a board member gains more experience with the board.

This MOD affects the index, view forum, view topic, and search php code. It also impacts the forum jumpbox creation script.

The post count is set to mediumint(8) which allows for values from -8,388,608 to 8,388,607. We set a value of -1 for maximum posts to view to effectively turn the limit off. A value of -1 means the forum will always be visible, no matter what post count a user attains.

Guests have zero posts. Any forum with a maximum post count of zero will be visible to guests but invisible once the first post has been made. Note that if you end up with negative post counts for any reason you will be likely to encounter strange results with this MOD.

We suggest that if you implement the "max posts to view" setting on a forum that you set the "max posts to post" for the same forum to the max view level minus one. Otherwise it is possible for a user to post in the forum and then lock themselves out of seeing the results of the post. This logic
is not enforced by the code, it's up to the board administrator to set the permissions correctly.
