I need a forum software ...

9 replies
... that can actually grant access to a user after a certain user age.

Example:
User registers and sees Forum with only 1 Subforum.

Subforum 2,3,4 ..., n exist, but he can´t see them.

Okay, let´s say the user registered 5 days ago and now he will be able to see sub1 and sub2.

Is there any software that lets me configure my forum this way?



Possible solutions:

1: if this doesn´t exist I would be creating a invisible subforum with dummie names like suforumname3947rthf0m9wq4rt9wq.php and give the link via autoresponder message to the user after a certain period of time.

2: I would have to create the same amount of access levels as subforums exist. But again, this should be happen automatically in dependence of the registration date


Any real help would be very much appreciated,

Thanks,
Martin

    Hi Martin,

    I think PhpBB has a plugin that can do that. Please check with their forum, or you can get one done from Rentacoder.com for $20.

      Thanks for the fast answer Eshwar.
      I was thinking on using phpBB anyways, as I already know how to implement dlguard now

      do you possibly remember the name of the plugin?

        Hi Martin,

        VBulletin has a plugin for that:
        Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count - vBulletin.org Forum

        Cheers

        John

          thanks.

          This is not what I am looking for. The access should only be in dependence of the daycount a user has

              Nah,

              I appreciate your will to help me John, that´s what counts in my opinion.

              K guys, I will check out the forum boards and if I should find any solution, I will post it of course.

              If you have a solution, please don´t hold back either and post it please.

              Thanks Esh and John,

                This was again one of the worst days ever guys.

                Spending the whole day searching for solutions and in the end I didn´t find any yet, the work I had to do today finally was not done and on top of that I´m really pissed off

                That is really a nice example for outsourcing

                If any of you guys know how to solve this problem, post it please.

                Martin
