How do I restrict starting topics for lower ranks

Hi, I would like there to be a minimum of 10 posts before people can start topics in certain areas?

Tell me forum version and minimum posts required to open new topic by your standards.

Modernbb and a minimum of 5 posts to start topics

I will write a script, give me some time

Take your time I’ll get in front of a desktop tomorrow

Go to CP - Modules - Javascript and make a new script. Name it "Disable new topics for low ranks" and past this code:

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {

    var total_posts = _userdata["user_posts"];
    var minimum_posts = 5;

    if (total_posts < minimum_posts) {
        $('a[href*="/post?f="][href*="&mode=newtopic"]').css("pointer-events", "none");
    }

});

Apply in all pages. Variable

Code: minimum_posts

is your own choise on how many posts user must have before posting a new message.
If you want button completely gone, you can just say:

Code:

$(document).ready(function() {

    var total_posts = _userdata["user_posts"];
    var minimum_posts = 5;

    if (total_posts < minimum_posts) {
      $('a[href*="/post?f="][href*="&mode=newtopic"]').css("display", "none");
    }

});

Coucou,

the other solution, with only the native forumotion features would be to:

• Create a group adding the automatic option to include only members with X posts published
  
  
  
  
• Modify the permission of the different forums/sub-forums/blogs to allow posting only to members that are part of this group
  
  
• Done

Isn't that much complicated that simple script? xD

@System32 using the native functions you can choose easily WHERE they cannot open new topics in that scenario

because if you allow only people with 5 messages to open a new topic, then new members will never be able to reach those 5 posts because they will never be able to open a topic (it's a loop)

They will be able if they post in already opened topics.

The more Javascripts you have the more problems you will have with slowing your forum down or a clash on codes on the system if you have a tool already made for this then why use a code? You are always told to use the ones tested on the Admin page before making a change with codes.

I would have gone with what @Niko has posted it's much better then using a code but I guess the choice is there for the member who wanted the help.

The only topics that will have this rule is for advertising, not for everywhere. thank you for the help it works

@Eleven If this topic is now solved Please press the marked solved button found at the top of this topic.

Please remember to do this on all solved topic's

Thank you.
