How could i impiment a system like this?

Hi,

I want to create an incentive system for posters, so that when they get xx posts they can download xx file. How could i create such a system using vBulletin 3.6.0.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Rob

 

<?php

define('MAX_POSTS', 100);

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 1);
define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1);

include('./global.php');

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] >= MAX_POSTS)
{
	// Download file
}
else
{
	echo 'Sorry, you need '. MAX_POSTS .' posts to be able to download this file.';
}

?>

Code (markup):

 

You're welcome, lol....

 

Sorry i forgot the thread. Thanks for the fast reply and code.

{
	// Download file
}

Code (markup):

Do i add my download URL in that line?

Rep added.

What do you want to do? Display a download link, or let PHP send the file directly to the browser?

 

I would rather not have the source of the download revieled,so i think the php should send the file.

Thanks again for the help,

Rob

 

Untested, but give it a try.

<?php

$filepath = '/path/to/file/file.exe';
define('MIN_POSTS', 100);


define('THIS_SCRIPT', 1);
define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1);

include('./global.php');

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] >= MIN_POSTS)
{
	exit('Sorry, you need at least '. MIN_POSTS .' to download this file.');
}

if (!file_exists($filepath))
{
	exit('The file could not be found.');
}

ob_end_clean();

header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Cache-Control: post-check=0, pre-check=0', false);
header('Pragma: no-cache');
header('Expires: '. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', mktime(date('H')+2, date('i'), date('s'), date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'))).' GMT');
header('Last-Modified: '. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s').' GMT');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Length: '. filesize($filepath));
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'. basename($filepath) .'"');
header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');


if (!($file = @fopen($filepath, 'rb')))
{
	exit();
}

while (!feof($file) AND connection_status() == 0)
{
	echo fread($file, 1024 * 8);
}

flush();

exit();

?>

PHP:

 

Nice script, but unregistered users can download. I didnt login and i could download the file.

Any fix ideas?

Rob

 

Try replacing this.

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] >= MIN_POSTS)

PHP:

with this.

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != 0 AND $vbulletin->userinfo['posts'] >= MIN_POSTS)

PHP:

 

Here is the file which i am testing: www.mfa101.com/test.php

I have edited that line, and guests can still download, as you can see. It is in the root directory of vBulletin.

Thanks for all the help mate, I tryed to add more rep but.. "You need you spread more rep around before giving it to nico_swd again"
