[CODE] Restrict Number of Threads Per Person on a Board

[David]

I have a board where we limit each person to one thread so I wrote a little code to do this for us.

Modify Post.php find

Code Select Expand

if ($newtopic)        // This is a new topic. Save it.
   {

Add After for each board you wish to restrict, text in bold means you need to fill in a value

//board name thread restriction
if($board == board id number && $settings[7] != 'Administrator' && $settings[7] != 'Global Moderator')
      {
          $request = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$db_prefix}topics WHERE ID_BOARD=board id number && ID_MEMBER_STARTED=$ID_MEMBER");
         $row = mysql_fetch_row($request);
         if($row[0] >= 1)
                  fatal_error('You are limited to one thread on this board.  If you need another talk to an administrator.');
      }

I'm just curious.  Why would you want to do that?

We have a "promote your board" board where we limit each member to one thread.

What version is this for?

In theory, this would work with 1.4.0 to 1.5.1.... at least, so it looks.

Originally wrote it for 1.4.1 but it took no changes to 1.5.1.  I would assume it even works as far back as 1.3 or 1.1 since posting code really has not dramitically changes.
