haii.. how to limit number of discussion for user? i want set 1 discussion for 1 month every category..
so user need to wait 1 month before make a new topic/discussion..

for all users or just one user? use the ban if you want to block a particular user for a month.

if you want to do it for all users - write a plugin

that does some variation of SQL below

you will need to set a conditional to match the current date -30 days against the date inserted. if it doesn't validate block the post in the post event.

SELECT `InsertUserID` , `DateInserted` , `CategoryID` , DATEDIFF( CURDATE( ) , `DateInserted` )
FROM `GDN_Discussion`
WHERE `InsertUserID` = '6'
AND `CategoryID` = '1'
AND DATEDIFF( CURDATE( ) , `DateInserted` ) > '30'
ORDER BY 'DESC'
LIMIT 1

Wow. Those are some serious restrictions if it is for all users.

Checkout the post approval plugin. Check how it works you can pull out something from there.

no.. i'm looking addon that can limit new discussion for selected category, basic user just allowed to open 1 discussion for a month.. and premium member can open many discussion for a month.

there is no current addon or plugin that does that, you would have to write one yourself and get free help on this forum if you run into snags. or .... Since it seems that this type of plugin would be of interest to so few people, you would probably have to decide how much it is worth to you and offer to pay a certain amount for someone to write if for you.
