Is this supposed to add the point_required to the Members table or the Forums table?  I installed it normally but got IPS driver errors, so I added the field to Forums and it was ok.  Or did I way off?  I any case its working fine now.

If I wanted to add a user group or multiple usergroups who could bypass the minimum point rules, how would I add that to the code?  This is what I came up with, whats wrong with it?

if( ! $this->ipsclass->member['g_access_cp'] && ( $this->ipsclass->member['points'] < $this->forum['points_required'] ) && $this->ipsclass->member['mgroup'] ==95 )	
		{
			$this->ipsclass->Error( array( 'LEVEL' => 1, 'MSG' => 'points_required', 'EXTRA' => $this->forum['points_required'] ) );

Yes it should add points_required to the forums table, i think it does, i will check this out.

Yea something like this:

$groups = array(1,2,3,4);
if($this->ipsclass->member['points'] < $this->forum['points_required'] ) && ! in_array($this->ipsclass->member['mgroup'], $groups) )	
		{
			$this->ipsclass->Error( array( 'LEVEL' => 1, 'MSG' => 'points_required', 'EXTRA' => $this->forum['points_required'] ) );

I think that syntax was a bit off, but this worked:

			$groups = array(4,37,10,119,148);
			if ( $this->ipsclass->member['points'] < $this->forum['points_required'] && ! in_array($this->ipsclass->member['mgroup'], $groups) )	  
		{
			$this->ipsclass->Error( array( 'LEVEL' => 1, 'MSG' => 'points_required', 'EXTRA' => $this->forum['points_required'] ) );
		}

And if its supposed to add points_required to Forums there is definitely an error in the xml.  here is what all of your recent "XX Required to.."mods have basically:

		<alters_group>
		<alter>
			<alter_type>add</alter_type>
			<table>members</table>
			<field_name>post_required</field_name>
			<field_type>smallint(5)</field_type>
			<field_default>0</field_default>
		</alter>

Ok, am I just reading that wrong?  You said it has to add points_required to the forums table, but in your alters group it has:

<table>members</table>

shouldn't it be <table>forums</table> ?

Oh darn...yes it should...thanks for that...sometimes my eyes are blurry.....

*of to fix...*

[Vince]

Fixed.

[emoney]

Glad I wasn't going crazy!  also, you may want to check your other mods in this variety, all the recent "Required to" mods you made.  I think at least a couple had the wrong table.

[Vince]

Thanks will do.

[emoney]

I just now realized that guests can't view any forum regardless of the minimum set.  "They get the You need <EXTRA> more points to view this forum/" Is that supposed to be happening and if not, what could be the problem?  I of course need at least part of my board open for guests.

edit: unless there is a better solution I'll just add the guest group number to the groups permitted line and then remove the guest permissions for any forum I set restrictions on.  Let me know if there is a better solution.

When you enter the forum, do you have to PAY the amount, or do you just NEED the amount...

[Vince]

He will just need the amount set to enter, the points will not deduct from his account.

[JoshoD]

Is there a way to make it so it will deduct the amount from his account only the first time he enters it?

[Vince]

Not right now, No. But i am hoping to extend this for IPB 3.
