Limit the number of responses to specific members

Hi to all of you,
I would like to block the number of responses (20) to specific members per day,
and this on all pages of the forum.
Thank you in advance.

What exactly do you mean by block responses to a certain member? Do you mean the profile wall?

Hi SLGray,

Have you tired to get help from the official French support forum: http://forum.forumactif.com/ ?

Not because it has no answer most of the time here
and Ange Tuteur and remarkable in this kind of question .
Thank you
a++

let me see if i understand the request
you want to set a limit like if user viewed more then 20 page peer a day he should see that he is off limit or something like that
am i right ?
i hope if my guessing right that would be clear to the staff so they think about the answer

Hi, I would not have a lock on some members who display too much message.
but I'll wait Ange Tuteur, as I understand it also helps the French media time to time.
Thank you.

i see
will ill be also waiting the answer i hope its a good news
sorry for not helping
im not good in coding

Hi to all of you,
I go up the subject.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Milouze14,

It's possible, however, it can also be bypassed as the solution would be with JavaScript. Try adding the following script in all the pages :

Code:

$(function() {
  var storage = window.localStorage;

  if (storage && (!storage.post_count || +storage.post_count_exp > +new Date - 24*60*60*1000)) {
    storage.post_count = _userdata.user_posts;
    storage.post_count_exp = +new Date;
  }

  $('form[name="post"]').submit(function() {
    var storage = window.localStorage;

    if (storage && (+storage.post_count - _userdata.user_posts) > 20) {
      alert('You have reached the maximum number of posts for today.');
      return false;
    }
  });
});

It should prevent the post from being submitted once the limit has been reached. ( 20 )

If any questions let me know.

P.S.
Sorry for the late reply. I've been ill, but I'm slowly getting better.

I Ange Tuteur ,

First of all thank you very much, sorry I bothered if you are suffering,
the script does not work on my tests forums !!
Take your time because I'm in no hurry.
Get Well my friend .

Oops, I made a small mistake. Try now :

Code:

$(function() {
  var storage = window.localStorage;
 
  if (_userdata.session_logged_in && storage) {
    if (!storage.post_count || +storage.post_count_exp < +new Date - 24*60*60*1000) {
      storage.post_count = _userdata.user_posts;
      storage.post_count_exp = +new Date;
    }
 
    $('form[name="post"]').submit(function(e) {
      var storage = window.localStorage;

      if (storage && Math.abs(+storage.post_count - _userdata.user_posts) > 20) {
        alert('You have reached the maximum number of posts for today.');
        e.preventDefault();
      }
    });
  } else if (storage) {
    storage.removeItem('post_count');
    storage.removeItem('post_count_exp');
  }
});

If you need to test, you can change the post limit by modifying the

Code: 20

. Since we use greater than ( > ), the posts must be greater than 20 for the alert message to display.

Code: 24*60*60*1000

is the duration of time that the post count is stored.

Note however, that this can be bypassed by disabling JavaScript or clearing the browser cache. I'm not sure, but the way I have it setup may also cause logging out to do the same.

Hi Ange Tuteur,

It's not even my good friend, I have the alert that fires right after dropping the script by having emptied my browser cache.
ok thank you, one more quick question on the duration of storage,
Can you explain the operation please do

Code:

24*60*60*1000

Thank you for your patience

I found a better way to set it up, so replace the script with this :

Code:

$(function() {
  var storage = window.localStorage;
 
  if (_userdata.session_logged_in && storage) {
    if (!storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username] || +storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username + '_exp'] < +new Date - 24*60*60*1000) {
      storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username] = _userdata.user_posts;
      storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username + '_exp'] = +new Date;
    }
 
    $('form[name="post"]').submit(function(e) {
      var storage = window.localStorage;
 
      if (storage && Math.abs(+storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username] - _userdata.user_posts) > 20) {
        alert('You have reached the maximum number of posts for today.');
        e.preventDefault();
      }
    });
  }
});

This will add a storage item for a specific user. For example, "User A" has reached the limit and cannot post anymore, but your "User B" account can still post. Logging out will no longer remove the post limit for individual accounts, unless the duration is exceeded, then the post count is reset. You can of course still bypass this with clearing your cache, etc.. but it should be better than before.

Code: 24*60*60*1000

is the amount of time until the user's post limit is reset. It is :

Code: HH * MM * SS * MS

( 24 hours, 60 minutes, 60 seconds, 1000 milliseconds )

what to say !!!!
A big thank you my friend.
I modified the alert message on the body :

Code:


$(function() {
          var storage = window.localStorage;
       
          if (_userdata.session_logged_in && storage) {
            if (!storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username] || +storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username + '_exp'] < +new Date - 24*60*60*1000) {
              storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username] = _userdata.user_posts;
              storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username + '_exp'] = +new Date;
            }
       
            $('form[name="post"]').submit(function(e) {
              var storage = window.localStorage;
       
              if (storage && Math.abs(+storage['post_count_' + _userdata.username] - _userdata.user_posts) > 2) {
                $('body').append('<div id="M14_Alerte_PostMax">You have reached the maximum number of posts for today.</div>');
                e.preventDefault();
              }
            });
          }
        });





and the stylesheet

Code:


#M14_Alerte_PostMax
{
position:fixed;
top:30%;
left:30%;
width:40%;
height:50px;
text-align:center;
color:white;
background:red;
padding:10px;
border:5px solid white ;
z-index:999;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
 
}




Get well soon and thank you again for your dedication.

You're welcome ! ^^
