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
  • Guests don't see 'thanks' button
  • Counts how many thanks a user gives
  • Counts how many thanks a post gets
  • 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
  • Option to turn off hack view of date for specific or all forums
  • Option to add to post count when someone clicks 'thanks'.

I've read quite a few of the posts but there is one thing I'm still not 100% sure on. I see there are two versions of 7.84.zip to download, one has a search fix. I'm using vB 4.1.7

Which of the above should I download?

Then I would talk to them as it is there skin you could try removing the skin and reinstalling it see if that helps but as you could of make custom changes it is hard to help even if you did give a link to it which you have not

Nicely done. My users seem to really like it.

One minor issue I'm noticing that I've been unable to correct. Since installing it, there's now a huge white space between the Blog Entries and the number of blogs. Before installation that wasn't the case and I'll illustrate it below with two screen shots combined. The top, installed with the space. Below that, uninstalled and no space as shown on my test forum for the same user. Any ideas what's causing that? Appears to be CSS related since the code is similar but that's a guess.

Ahem... <slaps_head>

Actually, I now see you can turn that off in the admin panel. Wasn't real crazy about that stat so it's now gone and of course that resolved the issue.

Great hack. Many thanks.

Someone didn't read the mod description

restore backup

Hi,

I had to reinstall the thanks system but before I did I used phpmyadmin to make a backup of the vbpost_thanks table. Unfortunately on restoring this the thanks aren't reflected on the site.

Have I missed something?

Thanks.
