Time Limit in Between Posts

[sonaro]

I have some users that post every single one of their blog articles. I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing yet in the long run, but when a site isn't too busy, the unpublished section is littered with posts from just 1 blog and the same user.

Perhaps a max amount of posts per user in a certain amount of time or 24 hour period.

how to set time for a IP to post.because he post too fast!
just like reddit.com: what's new online do

[ashishhbti]

In submit.php..

Insert this code after
check_actions('submit_post_authentication');

$post_time_chk=$db->get_var("Select UNIX_TIMESTAMP(link_date) as post_time from " .table_links." where link_author='".$current_user->user_id."');
if(now()-$post_time_chk>3600){
$main_smarty->assign('post_time_chk','true');
} else {
$main_smarty->assign('post_time_chk','false');
}

submit_step1.tpl in starting of the page...

{if $post_time_chk eq 'true'}

// Place entire code of submit_step_1.tpl
{else}
You can not post the story so quick .
{/if}

----------------------
Hope this helps ...

for IP ckeck you have to store the submitter IP ..
for storing IP you can use extra fields ...

after storing IP Check the IP address as we have checked time ..

---------
If you still have any prob let me know ...

my submit.php code is:
// module system hook
$vars = '';
check_actions('submit_post_authentication', $vars);

as you said ,after this?

I tried that but return error...

[ashishhbti]

use this .

$post_time_chk=$db->get_var("Select UNIX_TIMESTAMP(link_date) as post_time from " .table_links." where link_author='".$current_user->user_id."' Order by link_id DESC");
if(time()-$post_time_chk>3600){
$main_smarty->assign('post_time_chk','true');
} else {
$main_smarty->assign('post_time_chk','false');
}

This is an old post but still actual code. Has anyone an idea how to exclude discarded story from $post_time_chk. Thanks
