[AddonsLab] Post Limit Per Node 2.7.4

This update fixes a phrase-display conflict that occurred when using our add-on alongside [OzzModz] Thread Reply Button: No Permission Error Display and [OzzModz] Thread Reply Max Posts In Thread Permission.

In certain cases, our add-on incorrectly replaced a message from those add-ons. The correct message is now displayed consistently.

Thank you!

This release fixes a XenForo 2.3 compatibility issue where the limit message was not appearing at the top of the thread page.

This release resolves “insufficient privileges” showing at the forum/thread top location even when the user can actually post/reply.

Added new options to display restriction messages for posts and threads at the top of thread list and post list.

We have tested the add-on on XenForo 2.3 and it works. Feel free to upgrade and report any issues.

Thank you!

This version introduces a new option, that enables cross-category check for user threads and posts.

If this option enabled, only a given number of threads/posts will be allowed across all categories defined in the option "Category-based check ID list". If disabled (the default), the limitation will apply to each category separately.

This version fixes a bug with post submission always causing a redirect to the latest post instead of showing the post immediately, as per XenForo default behavior.

The reason the redirect was implemented was to show users, that they have hit their limit on number of posts, and the redirect was meant to be executed only when users hit their limit. It was, however, redirect in all cases, even if users have permission to post without any limitations. With this update, we kept the redirect but only for the case, when user hits their limit with the submission of the current post, so we redirect them to that post to make it clear to the user, that they can't submit another reply again.

This version fixes a bug on XenForo 2.2 which would result in search forums not working with category-based check option

Thank you!

This release implements the following enhancements:

1. New option - Category based check. Works the same as Node-based check, but checks for the category ID of a thread. This way you can put a category-wide limit, e.g. 10 posts across all forums of a category.
2. Improved check for existing post count. Previously, all post from the user would be counted, even if they made multiple posts being the author of a thread or already having posted in a thread. From now on, these posts will count only as 1 towards their limit. Also, if the current node is not in the node-based or category-based list, only the posts made out of these categories will be considered (previously all posts across the board would be counted).

This is a bug-fix release, which fixes a PHP error that could happen when used with some third-party add-ons.
