Introducing the Limit Resource Downloads add-on​

Limit Resource Downloads add-on gives forum admins powerful control over resource downloads by allowing them to set a variety of limits, such as:

• Daily download limits
• Reaction requirement
• Minimum message count limits
• Force account upgrade

The add-on also includes informative interfaces and user-friendly error pages that explain the reasons for download restrictions. This helps to discourage abuse and promote fair use of resources.

In addition, the add-on can encourage user engagement on the forums and can lead to more account upgrades, boosting your site’s revenue.

Key Features​

Here are some of the key features of the Limit Resource Downloads add-on:

Usergroup permissions: This allows admins to fine-tune who can download resources, and under what conditions.
Support for setting permissions in each Resource Category: This gives admins even more granular control over download limits.
3 types of limits: Admins can choose from customizable download limits, reaction limits, and message count limits.
Ability to bypass limits: Admins can allow users to bypass limits by setting them to “Unlimited” or by granting them the appropriate usergroup permissions.
Info Tabs Bar: This provides a quick overview of the user’s current download limits for the viewed resource.
Download Limits Overview Page: This provides a detailed overview of user-specific download limits for the accessed resource.
Custom Buttons: These buttons provide quick user info/alerts, such as the number of downloads left or an alert that the download limit has been exceeded.
User-friendly error pages: These pages explain and guide users through download limits and restrictions.
Admin options: Admins can customize the download limit reset time, enable/disable the Info Tabs Bar and Download Limits Overview Page, and set limits on version downloads on the History tab.
Restrictions on changing or undoing reactions, controlled by admin options & usergroup permissions.

If you’re looking for a powerful way to control resource downloads on your XenForo forum, the [XenCustomize] Limit Resource Downloads add-on is a great option. It’s packed with features and gives administrators the flexibility to fine-tune download limits to meet their specific needs.
