InvisionHQ Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 File Name: [HQ] Extra Forum Permissions File Submitter: InvisionHQ File Submitted: 11 Aug 2011 File Category: Utilities Supported Versions: IP.Board 3.4.x This application will add 6 extra permissions for your members to enter forums. You can exlude groups from each permission. The permissions are added for each forum seperately and they are as follow:1) Number of Posts I know that this is already built in Ipb but that will hide the forum/s totally from view for those members whose post count is below the minimum set by the admin for a paricular forum/s. Whereas with this setting the forum will be shown to those users but they will get an error message when attemting to view it.2) Number of Threads You can set a minimum number of threads for users in order for them to enter a forum or forums.3) Daily Posts You can set a minimum of posts that your user can make on daily basis in order for them to enter a forum or forums.4) Days Registered You can allow access to a forum or certain forums only to members who have been registered for a certain period of time. This can come in handy to protect your forums from spammers for example.5) Likes/Reputation Points You can allow access to a forum or certain forums only to those members who have received a number of likes/reputation points, i.e. the popular members if you will.6) Minimum Age If you want to restrict access to a forum or forums to user under a certain age, then this is setting is for you. If an user did not add the birthday details in their profile, they will get an error message when they will try to access the age based forums.Installation and Configuration: To install this application, upload the admin folder inside the Upload folder to the root of your forum folder. Then go to your Admin Panel->Applications & Modules->Manage Applications & Modules and on the right side where it says: Applications Not Installed you will see a new application added called: Extra Forum Permissions. Click on the install button. To configure it go to the Forums tab then from the drop down list choose Manage Forums. Then choose the forum and/or the forums where you want to apply the extra permissions, click the edit button and you will see an extra tab added there called: Extra Forum Permissions. Click it and set the values to your likings. To exclude groups from the permissions restrictions, go to the Members tab then from the drop down list choose Member Groups->Manage Member Groups. Then choose the group and/or the groups that you want to exclude groups from the permissions restrictions. Click the edit button and you will see an extra tab added there called: Extra Forum Permissions. Click it and exclude that group from the permission/s restriction/s. here to download this file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorhawke Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Nice concept, but I recommend adding at least the following features:Ability to show "Protected Forum" instead of the topic title on any forum that is off-limits to a user without the required status (as I mentioned to you via PM). Customizable forum-specific error messages (because some forums might use the same restriction type but have different specific requirements, so it would be helpful, for example, to have one forum's error message be "You need at least 5 posts to enter this forum" and another's to be "You need at least 10 posts to enter this forum", etc.). A fix for the following error: Currently, the post count requirement for a forum defined using this app is actually one more than the number specified in the "Number of Posts" field at Forums > Manage Forums > Edit Forum > Extra Forum Permissions (e.g. currently, if I want a forum's post count requirement to be 10, I need to input 9 in that field instead).

valendono Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 can you do "How many post can create new thread" on particular/selected forum ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgibson Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 With this mod installed, the "Custom 'Permission Denied' Message" does not appear. I would like members to know what's needed to view the forum. Is there any way to enable this and still use the extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaDice Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 That is because the mod uses its own custom error messages depending on the restrictions set. They are all language strings so you can change the error message to whatever language/text that you would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are all language strings so you can change the error message to whatever language/text that you would like. It's not really a good solution to change the language when there's only 1 language setting for the entire mod. For some forums I would like to set different requirements (like some forums need x posts to view and so on), so having only 1 language setting would only confuse members. Is there a better solution to this? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmacleo Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 can you test this against tapatalk and forum runner? both are free for board owner. helping someone with those 2 apps and it looks like there may be permissions conflict issues.

Dmacleo Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm not the admin there, just helping out, so not sure I can. what we are seeing is access is blocked to forums for everyone when guests are restricted, we are going to uninstall this mod to further test later (hopefully tonight) but its the only permissions type hook/mod there. I hope to have more info later to rule this out but was hoping maybe you had a way to check the 2 items against a test board before we could. so not positive this mod is the reason, just only permissions item installed right now.

fairsy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I want to change next: How many likes/reputation points an user must have received to enter this forum? And instead that to use: How many likes/reputation points an user must have received to post a reply (quick or full) in this forum? What lines I should change? I want members to see the topics, but not to reply if they don't have enough reputations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case that would be the admin_extra_language_pack.xml file inside the /xml/ folder of the application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to change the function (=code) of that so instead likes/reputation to enter forum I want to change into function to add new reply. Members should enter the forum and see topics, but they can't reply---that's what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
