I have a role which I made a quota for:

it is limited to 10 posts of "listings" , "wanted" , "trading". I was hoping that this meant that any combination of any of those 3 types could only be posted 10 times.

here is the problem:

the user with the proper role can create as many "wanted" or "trading" they want without hitting the quota. only the "listing" content type hits the quota. I am completely confused as to why it is doing this.

I have a similar setup as well

I have a real estate site, I need a user to to buy a role, and only post one of either house/flat/ground

So if they posted one of the three, that will be it, they will not be able to post again.

Is it possible with this module?

I ended up scraping the idea of multiple content types and made one large content type that had all the fields needed. Using the dependent module http://drupal.org/project/dependent . I made a drop-down, named it "listing type" and put in the 3 listing types I wanted as choices. I then linked the additional fields that go with each listing type to only show up if the option in the drop-down was selected. So I basically made fake content types....this then allowed me to use the quota correctly...kind of a shame I had to go through all of that though...

Using dependent dropdown, is it easy to create views of each "fake content type"??

sorry for the late reply. Yes you would simple filter based on the field "listing type". so let's say you had the drop-down with field values of:

type 1
type 2
type 3

You would just have your view filter based on that drop-down and then choose "must be one of" and pick your drop-down field. If any of this makes sense..hehe
