[XenDev] Participation Gateway is an advanced interaction plugin for XenForo 2.3

that aims to transform passive readers into active participants. This plugin encourages users to comment, participate in discussions, and become part of the community, preventing them from repeatedly reading and leaving the same topics. It

's an ideal solution, especially for forums that want to increase response rates, strengthen interaction, and reduce passive content consumption.

---

The main purpose of this plugin is to control how many times a user can view the same topic and to make participation mandatory when the set limit is exceeded. With

[XenDev] Participation Gate you can:

• You can set a topic viewing limit with the integer permission.
• You can allow a user to start the same topic only a limited number of times.
• You can hide the topic content once the limit is reached.
• Instead, you can display a custom call to action message.
• You can encourage users to gain permanent reach by leaving a comment.
• You can automatically open a new topic when a user replies.
• You can reset access data when a user's group changes.

This way, you can transform ordinary reading behavior into genuine forum participation.

Many forums have the same problem:

• Users read the topics.
• It consumes the contents.
• But he doesn't participate in the debate.

This plugin provides administrators with a practical and effective way to solve this problem.

It helps you increase the following:

• Number of responses
• Intra-topic interaction
• Active user rate
• Community commitment
• Genuine participation

This way, your forum becomes more than just an archive for consuming content; it becomes a more vibrant and interactive community.

---

The logic is quite simple and effective.

For example, if the user's viewing limit is 2:

1. You can bring up the same topic twice.
2. The content of the topic is hidden in the third entry.
3. A participation message is displayed to the user.
4. If a user posts a comment, the topic will be permanently opened for that user.

This system is stored in the database. This means that even if the user deletes their cookies, the rule will continue to work.

This plugin is extremely flexible because it uses an integer permission system

. Example:

• 0 = closed
• 1 = A user can view the same topic only once.
• 2 = can be seen 2 times.
• 3 = You can see it 3 times.

This structure allows you to define different boundaries for different user groups:

• New members
• Passive members
• Trial members
• Premium members

This way, the balance between access and participation is entirely under your control.
