Force users to have 0 posts

[Misaka]

I shouldn't say force >.>

I want to see if its possible to make a plugin that would allow users by choice to disable/enable post counts

lets say you have a user that only posts once a month and they don't want it to be seen. Sure a staff member can go in there and make it 0 for them but if they come back and post again then ask again its a repeating cycle.

all I want to know would this be possible and if so would plugin or template be a good area to start with?

a plugin wouldnt be able to directly affect their stored post count without the permissions from the form on the modifyprofile page.

you can make a template request though to have post count just not even show for that member in their profiles

....

could you move this there please?

Alright, a few questions. 1) You want the Post Count entirely removed? 2) Do you want it removed for both Mini-Profiles and Profiles or just one? 3) Another option would be to set a certain Member Group up for this purpose; basically, you could make a non-staff Member Group that will have their Post Count show up as 0 no matter what, and if you want you could go into Edit Profile for that user and make it so this Member Group doesn't even show up. Then, in the Templates, I can specify the Member Group to show post count: 0 whereas all other member groups/members/etc. will show their real post count. Does that appeal to you, or do you simply want it removed?

...

Alright, I think it should be {if $[user.group.name] == "WHATEVER YOU NAME THE GROUP" }
Posts: 0
{else}
Posts: $[user.posts]
{/if}

[Misaka]

alrighty then
thank you

which template?

[Former Member]

In the mini-profile if that's where you're wanting it to show up. Probably profile too. Just find wherever you currently have Posts: $[user.posts] and replace it with what I gave you there.

ok thank you
