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