XF 1.2 Posting after

[Cees50]

Is it possible to set xf so, that users only can post in a specific forum when they posted x times ?

I know that one, but then the users have to buy the upgrade. Thats not what i'm searching for. It just after x posts they can post in node y.

That was easy. exactly what i was searching for. Why i didnt find that easy solution ? Dont know. Thanks @Brogan

 

[Cees50]

Just one question. If i set some promotions, are these valid only for new members, or is this for everybody when the cronjob runs. (i hope the last)

 

[Paul B]

Everyone.

 

[Cees50]

Just another question. If i set the promotion, is the history from the users (a lot have more then x posts) counting for the promotion, or do they have to qualify again? And if a member has a promotion, is this gonna disapear when he dont make each day x posts? Thats not clear to me

 

[Paul B]

Existing content is counted, so anyone with more than x posts already will be promoted.

There is no criteria for x posts per day in the core software, that would need an add-on.

Did all. What i dont understand...

I made the promotion about 3 oclock. I thought that the cronjob runs every hour. I have 9200 members and expected the most of them should be promoted. But just a few are promoted. SO i went to the cron entries, and did manuely run the cron job. Just one user is promoted , and 9145 users not.

I made the promotion as follows:

in the tab: Promotion Options



and then in the tab Apply This Promotion While...



That's all. I thought that every user that has 20 posts or more (from the history untill now) should been promoted this way. Or am i doing something wrong.

 

[Paul B]

They will be promoted the next time they log in.
Promotions are now done at session creation.

Ok, now thats clear. Thanks again.
