TOPIC: Limiting entries per user

Limiting entries per user 9 years 5 months ago #29358

I intend to build a professional directory and something occurred to me that is a bit worrisome. Since RSdirectory is more of a classified ads software, it allows for users to create multiple ads. This won't work for a professional directory, where each member is only allowed one entry.

Is there a way to limit how many entries a user can create? In the demo I was unable to find a way to do that.

I am also planning to use RSmembership in order to sell plans to members, so I am not yet sure if I'll use the built in credit system to sell entries.

What do you guys think?

There's no default feature for this, but it can be achieved using template overrides.

Basically, using a simple script, you can verify if the visiting user's id is associated with an entry in RSDirectory!'s database entries table and, let's say, disable the category selection dropdown in the entry submission layout, no longer allowing the user to submit an entry.

The process of creating template overrides for RSDirectory! is explained in detail here:
