Hello group,
I am interested in creating some kind of credits based forum where users earn credits by posting/uploading and spend credits by reading/downloading.
I also want to restrict unregistered users from reading more than some X number of messages. In other words, I want them to register if they're already browsing in my forums for a while.
Being quite fresh with Phorum and PHP, I am not sure yet what is the best way to start working on this. I am thinking, creating a MOD would be the best idea. Appart from using it myself, I can post it here as well.
My questions to the pro's are:
- How long should this take to implement (you can ignore my lack of expertise here)?
- Is there anything already available for phorum that does this?
- Lastly, do you think this credit idea is feasible? I mean from the business perspective? Do you think it will drive people away or get them stick around?
The site is up at www.bctutor.com
I hope someone can give me some feedback on this. This is my first Phorum, PHP & MySql Project so please critique as much as you can!
Thanks so much,
tim
