    You don’t edit club features (topics) as a regular forum. Only title and description are there. Even if I add those fields, anyone when creating a club feature would be able to set a different number

Hi, something isn't working. I am using this plugin to limit professional sellers tooics inside certain forums.

Some of them are reporting system is blocking them from opening a new topic even though their last topic has been opened more than 30 days ago, while the limit is one topic per month. 

In fact, logging in as one member of this group, last topic april the 20, I can't post a new topic today, may the 21. Editing the limit to 2 post per month doesn't unblock me from posting a new topic.

Hi, the other topic is locked. But regardless of open/closed status, one month has passed.

Hello @Adriano, the limit is at the individual user? For example, moderators can open only one topic per week. A moderator opens a topic. Another moderator can open another topic soon after?

Yes, it is a global setting PER GROUP but the limitation is PER MEMBER.

You don’t edit club features (topics) as a regular forum. Only title and description are there. Even if I add those fields, anyone when creating a club feature would be able to set a different number of topics/unit per feature, which doesn’t make sense, since this should be an admin decision.

Of course it does. It doesn’t store the counter; it simply counts everytime someone clicks to start a new topic.

I'm the only one allowed to create clubs on my forum. I'm using the club feature in a different way.

I'm not talking about create clubs but create TOPIC FEATURES; anyone can.

Anyway, I'll try to add this to ADMINs only. No ETA right now.

What's New in Version 2.0.3:

  • Added support to Clubs

Notice: the new tab TOPICS PER FORUM will only appear AFTER you create the forum feature. So to use the plugin in Clubs, follow the steps:

  1. Create the forum feature
  2. Go to newly created feature
  3. Click in Manage Club then in Edit this Forum.
  4. Configure as you wish in the TOPICS PER FORUM tab.

This plugin doesn't work as what I believe is intended.

First issue I have is I MUST set a time period, I can simply use the default 'no time limit"

The second thing is that it counts locked topics, rather than not counting them.

I am running the latest version of IPS, if that matters?

I see, NO TIME LIMIT isn't working. Will fix it.

No, it counts OPEN topics as described on its description:

Query:

$topics = \IPS\Db::i()->select( 'count(*)', 'forums_topics', array( "starter_id=? AND forum_id=? AND start_date>? AND state=?", \IPS\Member::loggedIn()->member_id, $container->id, $unit, 'open' ) )->first();

You can see the state = 'open'
