Limit Adopted Eggs

[fadillzzz]

This mod will limit how many eggs the users can have before they can adopt more adoptables.

Open your doadopt.php
find this code

PHP Code:

if($aid == "" or !is_numeric($aid)){

$article_title = $err_idnoexist;
$article_content = $err_idnoexist_text;

} 


Add below

PHP Code:

$query = "SELECT * FROM ".$prefix."owned_adoptables WHERE owner='".$loggedinname."' AND currentlevel='0'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);

if($num >= 5){
$canadopt = "no";
$article_title = "Too many eggs!";
$article_content = "You already have too many eggs!";
} 


Change 5 to the number you want to limit of how many eggs the users can have.
Note: I'm not sure if setting the $canadopt to no is necessary to make it more secure, but I put it there anyways just in case if things happen.

Do the same thing with doadoptab.php so that they can't cheat by abandoning the adoptables and adopt more from the adopt.php then readopt the abandoned from the abandon.php

If you encounter any problem with this mod, post it here.

Looks very nice. It's nice to see such a wide range of mods. I think this mod will be particularly useful to prevent people from hogging.

Nice mod, sounds like a very nice fix for many users. For those who have egg levels above lv.0, simply change the part currentlevel='0' to anything you want, such as currentlevel<'3'.

I requested this mod about a week ago.

I like it. As Kae said, it's good to prevent people from hogging adopts.

Maybe a code that makes people have to also wait a certain amount of time before their adopt can become an egg/hatchling/adult?

Good ideas... again, we really desperately need some way to control timing with the breeding portion of all this ...there is so much we could do with that!

I know there is a 'decay' thing for php, no idea how to get it to go in reverse or sideways hahah ...

No, that won't do..
the sleep function will delay the execution of a PHP script which means the page will took more time to load making your site looks really slow
