restricted forum access help

[uwwedoogie]

i want to restrict a forum in a catagory on my boards to people who have more than 5 posts... and for people under 5 posts to still be able to see it but when they click into it they get a message saying "blah blah blah more posts"

cos all i have now is not allowing guests to view a certain forum but they cant see it... i want it to be visible to everybody but guests and people under 5 posts cant click into it...

help please

What so you want to show threads in the forum display list. And not let them view the actual threads until they have 5 posts.

You could use group promotions and make a group that they are added to when they have more than or equal to 5 posts.

It's probably just a matter of changing the hook for that plugin to use showthread_start instead.
