Displaying maximum number and current number of articles in my itemview would be great!! :D

What about limitation for each TYPE?

Let's say that I want to apply 5 maximum to TYPE A, 10 to TYPE B and unlimited to TYPE C..

Instead of applying limitation to each author, maybe it is better to apply limitation by TYPE.

In Author Backend Parameters:
Author Limitation: YES/NO
Select TYPE: TYPE A
Maximum number of articles limitation: 10
Select TYPE: TYPE B
Maximum number of articles limitation: 5

To apply unlimited for TYPE C then we don't need to apply it. Simply we can give Create permission for TYPE C.

What do you think?

Hello,

all these are good ideas for subscription sites
but before doing this, we should:

-- Copy the author limitations (of course these will not be removed) to user-group limitations, i mean create a backend view to manage limitations and other stuff for user-groups

If you really want to implement the per content type limitations (if very important to you) maybe i could suggest something but it will need coding from part


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
-- Add your voice to the FLEXIcontent JED listing with a 5-star...

I agree with you and wait till you implement user-group limitation.

Would you please tell me which file I have to edit to achieve limitation for TYPE?
Instead of giving max number for each TYPE, I will try to assign TYPEs so not-assigned TYPE will be ignored from limitation and will be applied as normal ACL rules.

Please consider for:

1.Content Limitation for each Author by Type
A Type - Can publish, Needs to limit
B Type - Can publish, No Limit

Display maximum number and current number of items for Type(if limit is applied)

Hope you have a little time for this!

I wanted to ask.  Were all these features finished?

When I go to the FLEXIContent Users Section, there is an option that says "Maximum # of content".

Does that mean there is a limit to how many articles the user can publish?

Also, how would you get this to work?  Is there a section under Submit Articles that can limit how many articles a user can publish ?

I am confused by this.  Please help me understand how to get this to work.

 

Here is a close-up of the settings.

hello did you test it ?
is simply if you set 1 user can create only one item (not publication is on creation)

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
