Posting limit

ghurley

Is there a way to limit the number of posts in a row that a forum user can make? For example, I want to limit a forum user from making 5 posts in a row in the same thread.

You can use Flood Control in the Dashboard to set limits as to how frequently users can post, but I don't know of anything to stop them posting a fixed number of consecutive posts, although maybe someone else does.

Hmmm... You would have to hook into comment posting, look/load the discussion data set and compare the last x InsertUserIDs and throw a validation error if needed.

Go through the Example plugin and start by dumping the sent object on the CommentModel_BeforeSaveComment_Handler hook.

public function CommentModel_BeforeSaveComment_Handler($Sender) {
  var_dump ($Sender);
}

I've got a plugin to do this, if you are seriously interested in this @ghurley.

I hesitate to add it to the add-ons, since it is so esoteric.

@ghurley

try this - made for you - based on your specs.

Just looked at the code.

Looks almost exactly like what I would have done.
