Disallow create discussion/reply based on a threshold

Justoverclock

Can someone of the dev explain me how can i create a permission that based on a float (threshold) retrieved from the settings, i can allow, disallow "reply" and "start discussion" on certain tags?

for example: if user have reputation <= $this->$settings->get('my-rep-key')

what are the best practices?

i can't imagine how to write that policy.

You can use dependency injection, just add a constructor to your policy class with the settings as a parameter and assign that to a property

https://docs.flarum.org/extend/settings#the-settings-repository

SychO yes i know how can i get the settings, but i do not know how can i disallow or allow based on the tag.

i cant figure how to create the permission and then the policy logic

SychO

Justoverclock can you explain the logic you are trying to check for?

from the admin setting i have a float number that indicate the minimum threshold. e.g. 100

now i want to restrict post and reply to users that have < 100 reputation points in certain tags (that the administrator choose)

SychO

Assuming you already have those points stored per tag per user
and assuming the ability checked is related to a discussion model

it would be something along the lines of:

public function reply(User $actor, Discussion $discussion)
{
    $threshold = $this->settings->get('...');

    foreach ($discussion->tags as $tag) {
        $points = $tag->userPoints()->where('user_id', $actor->id)->get()?->points;

        if ($points < $threshold) {
            return $this->deny();
        }
    }
}

Justoverclock

ok so i think this is the most important part that i've missed

Assuming you already have those points stored per tag per user

so how, and why i need to store that information into tags? now i have that attribute only for users

SychO

Justoverclock and why

maybe i'm not understanding, are you trying to have different points for users per tag, or just one points value and then a setting of which tags to check that point value for?

Justoverclock

SychO

Each user has a reputation attribute (float)

-> the forum administrator can choose which tags need a minimum reputation to create threads or to reply.

Isn't this what you were hoping to achieve?

One setting per Tag on how much reputation a user requires before being able to do something with it?

You would need to to add this setting to the EditTagModal I think.

public function reply(User $actor, Discussion $discussion)
{
    if($discussion->tags->first(function (Tag $tag) use ($actor) {
        return $tag->justoverclock_reputation_required > $actor->justoverclock_reputation;
    })) {
        return $this->deny();
    }
}

luceos mmhh yes i suppose, never worked with settings on tagModal...but i suppose this is the right way.

basically...

i need to create a migration that add a new column to tags
i need to extend the Edit tag modal to add that setting
i need to create the policy that watch tags

do you know the right extender so far?

Justoverclock

does EditTagModal have an extender?

SychO

Justoverclock you can extend the fields method itemlist flarum/frameworkblob/1.x/extensions%2Ftags%2Fjs%2Fsrc%2Fadmin%2Fcomponents%2FEditTagModal.tsx#L67

Justoverclock

SychO so should i import from 'flarum/tags/components/EditTagModal?

because actually not work

extend(EditTagModal.prototype,  'fields', function (items) {
    console.log(items)
  })

SychO

Justoverclock are you doing that from admin/index.js ?

luceos

Justoverclock also see this example from one of @datlechin 's extensions:

datlechin/flarum-tag-passwordsblob/main/js%2Fsrc%2Fadmin%2Findex.js#L91

Justoverclock

luceos thx for the precious help. works!
