Those are indeed many nested conditionals.

It does seem to me that there has to be a simpler way to approach this.

This is a minor bug-fix release, that fixes a PHP error logged in server logs.

Is this addon capable to work with Bobs Showcase-Addon?

AddonsLab said:

Unfortunately no, the add-on is built to work with posts only.

What a pity Are you offering custom coding to make this work with it? If so, I would be interested in a quote.

What message do members get when they hit the posting limit?
It would be nice to let members know that they can lift the limit with an accoutn upgrade. And include a link to the account upgrade.

Sure, it works with adding a usergroup as well. The limits are implemented as XenForo "integer" permissions and default XenForo implementation of such permissions apply, when a user has different usergroups. In general, the usergroup with higher value for the permission gets higher priority, and "unlimited" option applies with highest priority. So, in your case, the limited usergroup should have the values defined, and the "upgraded" usergroup should set it to "unlimited".

The message is shown instead of XenForo's default message about not having permission to post a thread:

View attachment 162437

The message is too much complicated to be one single phrase, as it many cases it has to shown different content (e.g. the time to wait is only 1 minutes, it does not make sense to write that 0 days, 0 hours and 1 minutes are left).

If you want to have all these details in your message, than you need a template with several phrases and conditions as well. Here is the content of the template. Feel free to suggest if you more optimal way to implement this, that would match your needs and the needs of users who use it its current form.

Code:

<span class="element">(
<xen:if is="{$posts}">
  {xen:phrase alpl_you_can_post_in_this_thread}
  <xen:else />
  {xen:phrase alpl_you_can_post_in_this_forum}
</xen:if>
<xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.days}">
{$postedTimeInfo.days}
    <xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.days} ==1">
        {xen:phrase alpl_day}
    <xen:else />
        {xen:phrase alpl_days}
    </xen:if>
</xen:if>
<xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.hours}">
{$postedTimeInfo.hours}
    <xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.hours} ==1">
          {xen:phrase alpl_hour}
    <xen:else />
        {xen:phrase alpl_hours}
    </xen:if>
</xen:if>
<xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.minutes}">
{$postedTimeInfo.minutes}
    <xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.minutes} ==1">
          {xen:phrase alpl_minute}
    <xen:else />
            {xen:phrase alpl_minutes}
    </xen:if>
</xen:if>
<xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.seconds}">
{$postedTimeInfo.seconds}
   <xen:if is="{$postedTimeInfo.seconds} ==1">
          {xen:phrase alpl_second}
   <xen:else />
            {xen:phrase alpl_seconds}
   </xen:if>
</xen:if>
)</span>

Thank you!

There are two limits:
- thread posting
- replying

The text states that the member has no posting rights at all in that forum for the next X hours. However, they may still have rights to reply to existing threads. This needs to be clear.
I'd suggest:

Registered Members are limited to post only 1 thread and 7 replies in 72 hours in this forum. To lift this restriction buy an account upgrade.

You can post a new thread in this forum in X days, Y hours and Z seconds.

I am running into problems with this addon. Analyze permissions show the following is true:

• Limit number of threads within time defined below: 1
• Time limit for threads (in hours): 24
• Limit number of posts within time defined below: 5
• Time limit for posts (in hours): 24

The user has 0 posts in the node. Yet, the user has sent me screenshots of no permissions messages with ever changing time limits.

This seems to be a bug.
