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

This error showed up while trying to thank a post:
If this error occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.]]>
It seems to have fixed itself, but what caused it, and is there a way to prevent it from happening again? I'm running vB4.2 PL2.

I woke up that morning, had coffee, went into my office to get on my computer, checked email and stuff, then logged onto my forums, checked for new posts, read a few, and on one of them I simply clicked the 'Thanks' icon. That's when the error occurred.

That's not much of a bug report. Now tell us how many different browsers you've tried, how many of your members are reporting the same error, and what you've already done to try to solve the problem. And, assuming it happens every time in 3-4 browsers, give us a test login so we can see it for ourselves. At some point be prepared to assure us that you have disabled all your other mods, and that it didn't stop working after installing another mod.

Please re-read my original post, slowly so as to fully comprehend all the aspects and limitations of reporting the issue (hint: happened once, fixed itself), and you'll see why there's really nothing more I can say about it than I already did.

All I want to know is if this is something that has a known cause, and how to prevent it. If not, so be it.
