PM (Private Messages) Access

[aRMY83]

In the Conversations Page template tab, I have this at the very top:

{if $[current_user.rank.name] != "New Member" && $[current_user.rank.name] != "" && $[current_user.rank.name] != ""}

and this is located at the very bottom:

{else}
Sorry you do not have access to the Messages area: (50 posts required)
{/if}

Forum Settings for PM's:



The problem is that when I send a PM to a new member, they receive this message when trying to view that PM:

Sorry you do not have access to the Messages area: (50 posts required)

I'm sure the code above needs some modifications but I'm at a loss on this one.

Note: right now, this is being tested on my test site:

{if $[current_user.rank.name] != "New Member" && $[current_user.rank.name] != "" && $[current_user.rank.name] != ""}
This says:

If current user rank name is not new member AND current user rank is not blank AND current user rank name is not blank

This means that in order for your conditional to occur, the user must have all three qualifications -- their rank cannot be new member + blank + blank simultaneously, which I don't think is what you're going for.

I would recommend instead simply using the post total.

{if $[current_user.posts] <= 49}
Your message
{/if}

Hello Kami,

Thank you for the reply and it works like a charm right now and the reason I say "right now", is I'm now seeing this (red):



If it helps, here is the entire code: (without the red highlighted)

<div class="container conversations">

<div class="control-bar ui-helper-clearfix $[scroll_class]">

</div>
{if $[current_user.posts] <= 49}

{/if}
<div class="secondary_pagination">$[pagination]</div>

Edit: disregard as I moved your code below the pagination. "duh rON"
