How to do this ? [vB]

[eddy]

There is a feature or something,

In my forum, a particular section is there, I want people above 15 posts ONLY to access it,

any idea how to do ?

Thanks a lot

You could create a group for members with 15 posts or more and automatically promote members to the new group.
Then create the forum and allow access to members of the new group.

But then they would get the error like: You do not have permission to access this forum,

Instead I was looking for an error like: You should have atleast 15 posts to access this forum,

Thanks anyways

They shouldn't be able to see the forum until they get 15 posts if you do it the way I described.

Hmm wait, let me try

esidyo added 6 Minutes and 16 Seconds later...

ok, when I do it, the registered user (old group) tries to view the forum and the forum says "No Posts herE"

[Zap]

That user shouldn't even be able to see the forum that's blocked.
There are forums here that are for users that make it to new user groups.
Users can't see them until they move to the new group.

Double check the permissions for the forum.

Glad you got it sorted.

Something to keep in mind: The cron job that does the promotion can take up to an hour to run so it could take an hour sometimes for the promotion to happen.

Most things have a down side, the benefits in this situation outweigh them in my opinion.
