Daily topic view limiting

[George_hu]

Hi,

may i ask some help,please

There is forum (Invisionboard 1.1.x) with about 800 users.Since bandwidth over usage can occure any time,i need to limit daily topic view for each member.Daily limit is reseted by cron at midnight.

I already added a dv (dailyview) in the table where stored user data.This dv is counting down
on each topic view for that particular user.

$DB->query("SELECT dv FROM ibf_members WHERE id='".$ibforums->member['id']."'");

This query above working and gave the actual value of the daily view counter for that particular user.But i not really succeded to integrate into forum.
if dv>1 user can vew topics....
if dv<1 user forbidden to view topics

//-------------------------------------
// Check viewing permissions, private forums,
// password forums, etc
//-------------------------------------

$DB->query("SELECT dv FROM ibf_members WHERE id='".$ibforums->member['id']."'");

$dv = $DB->fetch_row();


    if ( (!$this->topic['pinned']) and (!$ibforums->member['g_other_topics'])  and ($dv->dv['dv']>1) )

    {
    	$std->Error( array( LEVEL => 1, MSG => 'no_view_topic') );
    }

    $bad_entry = $this->check_access();

    if ($bad_entry == 1)
    {
    	$std->Error( array( LEVEL => 1, MSG => 'no_view_topic') );
    }      

Is there any advice,how possible to integrate this?
This is above not limiting the topic view,maybe i entered into wrong place or just simply my knowled is not enough for this.

I really appreciate any suggestion.

so the code that you have posted does not work.
are you asking where to 'put' the code in the bb script?

first, what does $dv->dv['dv'] actually output?
the only think i would change in your logic is this:
if dv>1 user can vew topics....
if dv<1 user forbidden to view topics

to this:
if dv>=1 user can vew topics....
if dv<1 user forbidden to view topics
the reason is because, what if the user has 1 view left, then he would not be able to use it based on your original logic, other than that its alright.

Thanks your addition about ">=" you're right.

first, what does $dv->dv['dv'] actually output?

Since this query
$DB->query("SELECT dv FROM ibf_members WHERE id='".$ibforums->member['id']."'");
gave the value of the dv counter for a particular user,i like to use
this value as base for comparison like:

---

or
<

As you see in the starting i tried to add with AND but this not working me.This board actually InvisionBoard.

Maybe need to insert this code some other place.
