XF 2.2 Disallowing New members to PM.

[Catsmother]

Hello

I would like to set my board so members that are new must require 5 posts to use the PM system.
How is this done please?

Group permissions and promotions.

Disallow initial group, promote to new at 5 posts.

Thanks. are all promoted groups done automatically or do I have to add them manually when they reach the 5 posts?

Thanks.
I am looking for a way for my members to automatically be assigned to groups once they reach a number of posts too like the title ladder.

Just copy the same process as outlined in the manual.

Yeah I am doing this but there isn't an option to set the number of posts required for each user group.

There is, under the Apply this promotion while... tab.

Ok thanks. I didn't see that.

Just one more question. Is there a way to use CSS on user group promotions?

User groups can have styling applied, if that's what you mean.

You can do that using the User name CSS field for each usergroup.

You can also have custom banners.

Creating custom User banner styling

By default, XF comes with the following user banner styles: Creating custom styling using the Other, using custom CSS class name option is fairly straightforward. This guide will explain how to. The easiest way by far to add new prefix...

Thanks and what about user group promotion groups? There isn't an option to style the groups.

I don't really understand what you're asking.

The promotion system just adds (or removes) members to/from user groups.

It's the user groups which are styled.

So I can't style group promotions?

You might like this add-on:

https://xenforo.com/community/resources/new-conversation-manager.7248/

The add-on allows new members to start a conversation with staff which is very important. Then after a number of posts the member can start a conversation with other members.

A paid add-on is not required for the built in free functionality which has been requested in this thread.

A promotion is an action only. The group they are prompted to holds the style.

Yeah thanks. I figured it out. sorry if I sound confusing.
Thanks for your help.
