Post Thank You Hack

STAFF EDIT:
Note - The mod author has been unreachable for some time, but the vbulletin.org community has stepped up to provide a number of individual fixes over the years. ForceHSS and Hippy have both combined many of these fixes into product files.

ALL CREDIT STILL GOES TO ABE1 And this is still 'his' mod. Please still mark the mod as installed if you use any version of it.

That said so you don't need to apply a dozen + small fixes yourself you should consider downloading one of the updated packages below:

Hippy has one: in this post.

AND / OR

ForceHSS has one: In this post.


If Abe1 returns he can request these packages be removed.


About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.


Features:
  • Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
  • Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.
  • Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
  • Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
  • Places all Thanks into one small box
  • Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
  • Users can't thank twice
  • Option to not allow users to thank their own post

  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile
  • Shows how many thanks a user got
  • Shows how many posts or a user are thanked
  • Shows info in profile
  • Search for a users thanked posts
  • Search for all thanked posts
  • Administrator can remove all Thanks from a single post
  • Users can remove their own Thanks
  • Turn on and off hack totally
  • Turn on and off hack for only some forums
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread in specific forums

Installed the modified version to adjust the version number >>> http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...31666&page=129 since I am running on the latest official vBulletin v4.1.8

Then I moved the Thanks be located near the edit post button. Works like a charm!

It is very easy to install mods with vBulletin! When I was on phpBB3 it would take a minimum of 30 mins to install such a mod and one mistake and your forum is screwed up!

I love vBulletin

Did that.

Went into My Profile/About Me and doesn't work (no link)

Bonus question: post_thanks_hover.png and post_thanks.png do not show on site.

Thank you +1 to that!!

Do you know if it works for 4.1.8, I am guessing so, as I would assume that change was made through to version 4.2.0?

Thanks again - I have quoted it here for anyone else having the same problem...

The search is not working on Abe's (can see the last 5 in profile but not in About Me (no clickable link) and the Thank you buttons are not rendering.

Quick question about your hack. My postbit has boxes around the stats (see my site link in my sig if I'm not explaining myself correctly) will this keep the structure?

Meaning my boxes won't get messed up.

BTW, I like the collapsiable feature you provide.

ForceHSS collapsible postbit is very cool as well nice work there bud
didn't I email you the copy? because I added that code for the collapsible feature for all the names listed below the post in it for someone and sent you the same copy. no ? I can't remember anything any more lol..
if you can't get it working send me a pm..
the code for the box around your postbit info will have to be added..

thanks button for your self has to be turned on in the options if you want to be able to thank your self

+ credit to everyone that posted fixes
