    More spam fighting...

    As IP address blocking is a constantly moving target... and can take a toll on speed and resources... I've taken another step.

    I've decided to block users from posting an ad if they have an ad pending.
    PHP Code:
    if ( ! function_exists('cp_limit_pending_ads' ) ) :
        function 
    cp_limit_pending_ads()    {
            global 
    $app_abbr,$current_user;
            if (
    is_page(get_option($app_abbr.'_add_new_url'))):
                    
    $query = array(
                        
    'post_type' => APP_POST_TYPE,
                        
    'author' => $current_user->ID,
                        
    'post_status' => array( 'pending')    
                    );
                    
    $the_query = new WP_Query$query );
                        if(
    $the_query->have_posts()) :
                            
    wp_redirect(CP_DASHBOARD_URL.'?msg=p');
                        endif;
                    
    wp_reset_query();
            endif;
        }
    endif; 
    I'm calling it from a plugin myself using:
    PHP Code:
    add_action('template_redirect''cp_limit_pending_ads'); 
    But it would be easy enough to add to the top of the tpl-add-new.php file and drop a couple of "if" statements.

    My tpl-dashboard.php file has a line added:
    PHP Code:
    if($_GET['msg']=='p') :
        
    $action_msg __('<strong>You have at least one ad pending. You cannot post any addtional ads until all pending ads are approved. Please check your ads below.</strong>''appthemes');
    endif; 
    I envision that this could be integrated into the admin so you could set the number of pending ads... change the message... whatever. But I literally had to hack this together in a few minutes based on a client's request. I would appreciate any comments (as well as any obvious flaws in my logic...).
