New rule for after hours?

Oriel

Folks,
Can't we just have a rule

if (member.dateofjoin < 12months)
then{
"print ("OMG Sorry, you cannot enter. Come back later.)
"print ("Kewl! Lol!!");
}

for the After Hours fourm Please?

That code doesnt look correct to me, but im no genius.

No else statment after the "OMG" bit no?

Oriel

Now, it's not exactly complier ready code*. :rolleyes:
ANYWAY. Ignore the syntax of the code, just the semantics.

Cheers.

However, there should be a " after "later."
Just because there is an "if" there doesn't have to be an "else".

Parse Error: Unexpected """ at yourscript.php line 3

Trust me, you don't want the honeypot closed. It'll all just spill into the other sane forums.

Well, correct me if im wrong, but shouldnt there be an else thingy? In English it would be read as:

if the memeber joined less then 12 months ago then print; "OMG Sorry, you cannot enter. Come back later." otherwise (ie. else) "Kewl! lol"

Perhaps im just not familar with the coding but that code you pasted seems incorrect.

Anywho... Seamus has a good point. No need for such a rule, it would spill out everywere else!

Oriel

I will correct you.
The "{" "}" means "perform anything between these brackets"
If the variable does not fall into the "if ()" category when it will ignore anything in the { } and go to the next line of code. So there is no need for an else. Else is only needed if you want to do one thing or the other. I only want to do one thing or nothing.

In English:
if the memeber joined less then 12 months ago then print; "OMG Sorry, you cannot enter. Come back later." AND "Kewl! lol"

The only thing an else would be useful for in this case would be for error-catching.

surely you'd want an

else
    enterForum("After Hours");

in there, no ?

As someone mentioned you would end up with them flooding other forums.

After Hours, Cuckoos Nest are the shoofly pies of boards.ie.

Maybe after "Come back later.)", the user should be kicked to Cuckoos Nest? Also, change it from 12 months to 6 months. Also, as a person not logged in would be under 6 months (dateofjoin proberly show up as zero), wouldn't this ban those not logged in, as well as those here under 6 months?

Thus the club would only exist to those here over 6 months. IMO, due to this, the uckoos Nest will become the new AH, as everyone will post in the Cuckoos Nest, rather than AH.
