Limit # of posted items per user was created by Markus R
Hi,
I was wondering if there is a way to limit how many items a person can make, I would like to limit this to 1 per registered user.
Trying to make some kind of a directory with the Idea that a user X can register, submit 1 item (place) with custom fields to be formatted nicely, and of course he could edit it afterwards.
And then user B who has more rights can see every item placed on specific category, but only to see them, not to modify or anything.
If anyone has any pointers if and how I could accomplish this with K2 I would appreciate it very much.
And I was wondering about the item submission form too, is it possible to make tabless form that those fields that I need, would be listed nicely and on preformatted order?

So this is not doable?? any confirmation for this would be helpful

Well I came up with some workaround (but not very effective)
You have to modify your custom layouts so that there is no "add item" buttons around anymore, and then you can try to automate user create function so that it creates a not published dummy item that the user can edit from his profile view and then publish.
Still working on the tabless forms and trying to figure out how to make user profiles private, so that no other user can see them if they get the url somewhere or anything.

I put together this code to find out the K2 user group a signed user belongs to and the number of items that belong to that user, that way i can create some conditionals in the user.php to either show or hide the add item link depending on the user group and number of published items.
For doing the user page private i guess maybe in the user.php you could do something like:
this way you can compare if the logged in user id and the user page id are the same.
<?php
// get user ID
$user = &JFactory::getUser();
$userId = $user->get('id');
// get Items
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "
SELECT ".$db->nameQuote('title')."
FROM ".$db->nameQuote('jos_k2_items')."
WHERE ".$db->nameQuote('created_by')." = ".$db->quote($userId)." AND ".$db->nameQuote('trash')." = ".$db->quote("0").";
";
$db->setQuery($query);
$result = $db->loadResultArray();
$number = count($result);
// get user Group
$query = "
SELECT ".$db->nameQuote('group')."
FROM ".$db->nameQuote(jos_K2_users)."
WHERE ".$db->nameQuote('userID')." = ".$db->quote($userId).";
";
$db->setQuery($query);
$userGroup = $db->loadResult();
//print the results
print "User Group:".$userGroup."<br/>".
"User ID:".$userId."<br/>".
"Number of items:".$number."<br/>";
?>For doing the user page private i guess maybe in the user.php you could do something like:
//get user id
$user = &JFactory::getUser();
//compare if its the same as user page id
if ( $this->user->id==$user->get('id'))
//show the user page;
else
//do something else;this way you can compare if the logged in user id and the user page id are the same.

Hi
Just came cross this little snippet.
Don't forget to change jos_ to your own prefix if your are using J!2.5
It is great use if you want to add some extra user fields just for specific user groups.....
Gracias amigo
