[AddonsLab] Post Limit Per Node 2.7.0

[Enes3078]

@AddonsLab does this add-on include general node time? I don't want to set time for 200 nodes one by one.

I want, on a group level, limit the number of posts per user per day. I believe this add-on will do that - am I correct?

I see no mention of cost - where would I find that?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Nice add-on. What kind of message do they get when they try to post? I'd like to edit the language to suggest upgrading.

Will this conflict with @Siropu's Ads Manager. So let's say a user hits the limit of threads/posts per day, and buys a promo thread or sticky in that forum. Will this still block it? Hoping they can work together and users can purchase a thread when they hit the limit. Thanks!

I haven't used many XF add-ons - we have a developer who installs these things for us. Can you please PM me with information about purchase, support, etc. Or point me to that info here?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Click Download, go into your admin panel to the Add-ons section, and at the top, upload it.

Yes, you set general times and if you want to be more granular you set node-level permissions.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay with this

Will review the questions and provide detailed replies soon.

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

@AddonsLab does this add-on include general node time? I don't want to set time for 200 nodes one by one.

If the permissions are not configured the value of post time limit and thread time limit, it is set to 0, which is effectively equal to unlimited posts. If you want to make bulk configuration, you might do it in usergroup level not per individual node.

Sure, that's exactly how the add-on works, please refer to documentation in Overview section. You need the usergroup permission "Limit number of posts" to put to X and "Time limit for posts" to put to 24 (if hours is the configured value of the time unit),

Yes, you might check phrases with alpl_ prefix, they are few you need to spot.

In general this add-on should not conflict with any other add-ons, but it will not work and provide any extra functionality as well, so If the user purchase new thread, most likely it will still be blocked by this add-on. However, if you need some extra feature it can be developed separately, e.g. we can develop a special check if the thread is being posted via Ad Manager and skip the check in that case. Please contact our support at https://customers.addonslab.com/submitticket.php to discuss it further.

Thank you!

@AddonsLab not sure I'm doing this right. I have two promotional forums under one XF category, so I am using the category field setting and leaving the node field blank. But a user in the group that was not supposed to post yet was able to post. So let's say it's set for 1 post a week and he just posted yesterday, he was also able to post today (and I set it earlier today). How? Does the post he just made set the time restriction? Or does it go by his actual last post? Or does the category setting not work unless nodes are also added? Thanks!

Could you please confirm that you have edited the Parent category permissions from:
Node Permissions → (your user group) page?

The user group should be the one your users belong to.

The way the add-on works is by inheriting the permissions set in the parent category and making them available to the child nodes.

Please take a look at the attached screenshots and make sure your configuration matches what’s shown.
