I had that hack in my UBB Classic before since I understand the code, but I just upgraded to UBB Threads recently, and I'm slow to understand the code still... This could cut on what I call the selfish users who want to solve their problems, but do not wish to share it!

OK, the code I had wasn't like this, so I wrote it. Here you go, only minimally tested

I have it set for 50 posts, you'll need to adjust that to whatever number you like.

mess_handler.php

Find:

PHP Code


$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_Groups,U_EReplies,U_TextCols,U_TextRows,U_Preview");
$Username = $user['U_Username'];
$Password = $user['U_Password'];

Replace with:

PHP Code


$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_Groups,U_EReplies,U_TextCols,U_TextRows,U_Preview,U_Totalposts");
$Username = $user['U_Username'];
$Password = $user['U_Password'];

	if ($user['U_Totalposts'] < "50" ) {
		$html = new html;
		$html -> not_right("You need 50 posts in the forum to send a private message,",$Cat);
	}

send_message.php

Find:

PHP Code


$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_Language,U_TextCols,U_TextRows");
$Username = $user['U_Username'];

Replace with:

PHP Code


$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_Language,U_TextCols,U_TextRows,U_Totalposts");
$Username = $user['U_Username'];

	if ($user['U_Totalposts'] < "50" ) {
		$html = new html;
		$html -> not_right("You need 50 posts in the forum to send a private message,",$Cat);
	}

send_private.php

Find:

PHP Code


$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_TextCols,U_TextRows,U_Preview,U_CoppaUser");
$Username =  $user['U_Username'];

Replace with:

PHP Code


$user = $userob -> authenticate("U_TextCols,U_TextRows,U_Preview,U_CoppaUser,U_Totalposts");
$Username =  $user['U_Username'];

	if ($user['U_Totalposts'] < "50" ) {
		$html = new html;
		$html -> not_right("You need 50 posts in the forum to send a private message,",$Cat);
	}
