Has anyone else a suggestion how I could get the Search Engine Spiders in?

[Vince]

@Tom the search spiders have the same restrictions as guests. so it will require some core files editing to do that.

@xtr3mx7 It's located there refer to my post at the Posts required to post topic.

Thanks Vince.

How about to bypassing for certain usergroups? Guess it is what you mean, right?
How much would an "improved" version cost? Settings via ACP, excluded members...

[ASTRAPI]

is it possible to do that to count topic's started and not posts to view a forum?

Thanks

tried installing this on version 2.3.6 and seems the code has been altered, u said this to: @xtr3mx7 It's located there refer to my post at the Posts required to post topic.

no idea what you mean by that.

half the code in sources/action_public/attach.php the second edit is commented out in the new ipb version

Find: (In Function show_topic_attachments() )
if ( $this->ipsclass->check_perms($this->ipsclass->forums->forum_by_id[ $post['forum_id'] ]['read_perms']) == FALSE )
{
$this->ipsclass->Error( array( 'LEVEL' => 1, 'MSG' => 'no_permission' ) );
}


Add Below:

# Posts Requirement To Enter A Forum
if( ! $this->ipsclass->member['g_access_cp'] && ( $this->ipsclass->member['posts'] < $this->ipsclass->forums->forum_by_id[ $post['forum_id'] ]['post_required'] ) )
{
$this->ipsclass->Error( array( 'LEVEL' => 1, 'MSG' => 'no_permission' ) );
}


There was a few code edits that did not exactly match from your document, but they were very similar so i assumed that i should make the edits still.

[deathrace]

i made all the edits i thought were nessessary according to your instructions and making a few things that were similar. It seems to work. Now when i go to lofi version it says beside the forum 5 posts



    * A Test Category
          o A Test Forum (5 posts)

Now that is how many posts is required to enter it, but does not say anything informative, how can i change that message to maybe (x posts required to enter)

Something along those lines?

[deathrace]

i also noticed i get this error when a member tries to view a topic with not enough posts:


The error returned was:

Sorry, you must have a total of <#EXTRA#> posts or above to enter this forum.


it does not display the number, any idea wat is causing this?

[Tom]

Due to this line, added in search.php, guests are no longer able to access usual search queries like Today's Active Topics or View New Posts

		# Posts Requirement To Enter A Forum
			if( ! $this->ipsclass->member['g_access_cp'] && ( $this->ipsclass->member['posts'] < $i['post_required'] ) )
			{
				$can_read = FALSE;
			}
			else
			{
				$can_read = TRUE;
			}

Could anyone help or was anyone able to fix that issue?

[DawPi]

Because guests have this:

$this->ipsclass->member['posts']

'set' to 0 ( zero ).

Try this:

if( ! $this->ipsclass->member['g_access_cp'] && ( $this->ipsclass->member['posts'] < $i['post_required'] ) && $this->ipsclass->member['id'] )

[DawPi]

[reeps]

can't seem to get this to work on 2.3.6 any ideas anyone..it installs and all the edits are done but ppl with less than the set amount still enter and post..

[ilovemint12]

Yeah, I got the same problem with 2.3.6.

[Tom]

@Vince - how much do you charge for the improvement where staff can determine certain members via ACP to bypass the restriction?

Or if you dont have the time maybe someelse could be develop an addon.
