Charge for ads with < x posts?

[dwessell]

Hi,

I know this isn't a feature, but I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction.. I'd like to charge for ads, if the users has < x posts.. Would that be something simple to mod?

Thanks

well you would definately have to mod the code for sure. Just thinking but possible in your uploadproduct script you would have to query how many posts a user has and then add to the conditionals to pay the restriction on the user post total someway.

I know I'm taking the lazy road here in asking, so please forgive me.. I'm not at a spot where I can get into the code, but just had the idea..

Is the uploadproduct script the only place that I would have to mod? That is, is the payment information composed there as well?

Without looking at the code (And I know it's retarded to even think about it while not looking at the code).. But I could put a if statement around the payment code.. If posts < x make them pay... etc..

Thanks
David

well yeah thats why there are mod forums if other users find your idea interesting and want to assist. I cant say whether thats the only place you want to mod as you would code whatever mod up to act the way you want.

well you would have to query in some manner the user posts and define the variable say $userposts.

But the payment line is this twice in that file

If you define the variable $userposts you would change those lines like this
