Post Count Restrictions

[Wormopolis]

Browser Tested: IE and FF
placement: global footer

allows you to set up additional restrictions on specfic board based on post count. uses a cookie to store members post count, and updates itself when profile is viewed or member posts. You can set up 3 different kinds of restrictions:

1. view - links to board are blocked and board itself gets content hidden unless certain number of posts are reached.

2. post - board can be seen, but all links to reply to posts and quick reply are hidden.

3. create - board can be seen, replies can be made, but all links to create a new thread/poll are hidden.

keep in mind a mischevious user can get around these restrictions by disabling javascript.

Preview: Eventually.. but its pretty self explanatory.

Not responsible for people figuring out how to get around this.

WoW That is cool - i see where your suposed to Edit it , but i have too much code already QC

[Wormopolis]

It actually runs pretty fast. it does a quick link check on whatever page its on. 2/3 of the code only runs if its on a board page, and of that 2/3 it only does something if the board id is in the array you edit.

Its pretty convenient actually. even pops up a message telling a person they dont have enough posts to do something.

version update 1.5: added exemptions

[deathfish]

If I change this code or first time installing it:

- do I have to click on every single user profile for the cookie to update itself?

[Wormopolis]

no the cookie is on THEIR computer. as they browse the board or check their profile, if their own post count is seen, it gets remembered. then if they go into a board you setup in the array, it checks their post count and does what it needs if they are under the post count.

if they dont have the cookie stored, it assumes they dont have the post count required

[deathfish]

what happens if the user does not happen to land on any pages which show their post count?

[Wormopolis]

the code assumes they dont have the post count required. the first time they post somewhere though it automatically lands on a page with their post count.
