Paid Threads - Detailed Description

Overview
Paid Threads is a powerful monetization plugin for MyBB 1.8.x that allows thread creators to lock their content behind a NewPoints paywall. When users purchase access to a paid thread, the NewPoints are transferred directly to the thread author, creating a fair revenue-sharing system for forum communities.

Features
Thread Creation & Management

Toggle to make threads paid when creating new threads
Edit existing threads to enable/disable paid status
Set custom prices for each thread (within admin-configured limits)
Only thread authors can modify the paid status of their own threads
Thread creators can view their own paid threads for free

Flexible Pricing Controls

Set global minimum price requirement (default: 1 point)
Set optional maximum price limit (0 = unlimited)
Customizable currency label (default: "Points")
Display current and required amounts to users
Price validation on both front-end and back-end

User Access Management

Guests must log in to unlock threads
Logged-in users see their balance and can purchase access
Show clear "insufficient balance" messages
Prevent double-purchases via unique database constraints
One-time payment = permanent access for that user

Visual Design

Terminal/hacker-themed card design with dark aesthetic
Inline SVG icons for cross-browser consistency
Responsive layout (mobile-friendly)
Color-coded status indicators (success, warning, error)
Smooth animations and transitions
CSS injected directly to guarantee styling loads (fixes theme conflicts)

Forum Display

Lock badge shown on thread list next to thread title
Displays price of each paid thread
Identifies paid threads at a glance

Admin Control

Enable/disable the entire plugin
Exclude specific user groups from paywall (e.g., admins, moderators)
Customize minimum and maximum allowed prices
Set custom currency label for your forum
Control whether thread authors view their own threads free

Security

CSRF protection on all payment transactions
IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) protection
Race condition guards to prevent double-spending
Fresh balance verification from database (prevents cache exploits)
SQL injection prevention via escaping and parameterized queries
Admin override flag for PM delivery

How It Works

Thread Creator — Posts a new thread and toggles "Make this a Paid Thread"
Set Price — Enters the cost in NewPoints (respects min/max admin settings)
Thread Published — Appears in forum with lock badge showing price
User Visits — Sees paywall banner with price, balance, and unlock button
User Purchases — Clicks "Unlock for X Points"
Payment Processed — Points deducted from buyer, added to author
Access Granted — Thread content reveals immediately; user can view anytime

Database Tables
The plugin creates two tables:

paid_threads — Stores thread ID, price, and creation timestamp
paid_threads_purchases — Logs all purchases (user, thread, amount, date)

Both tables include proper indexing and UNIQUE constraints for performance and data integrity.

✅ Direct CSS injection — Bypasses theme limitations
✅ Efficient queries — Minimal database load
✅ Error handling — Graceful fallbacks for missing NewPoints
