Post Thank You Hack 7.4


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

thanks, really like this hack
* Farjad clicks install

[TygerTyger]

Thank you! Are there any changes other than compatibility between this version and the 3.5.4 version? Cos that one worked fine for me on 3.6 anyway...

Just 2 small template edits.

[Posof]

Yes i was waiting for this hack.. thanks

[nix]

Thanks! Love this hack.

[Thinkinstein]

It would be better if it's integrated with a cash system, so that a given amount of money is received when a user get thanked.

[MrNase]

Very cool, I might install it. :)

[o0Hubba0o]

Just 2 small template edits.
Are they required, because it's worked for me so far. Is it possible to point out the differences so we don't have to do all of them?

[Milad]

Suggestion: Please can you integrate the ranking and promoting systems with this hack?

Not a regualar edit on your side. It was an edit to 2 templates of this hack. If you just install the upgrade, it will over write the old template.

thak youuuuuuuuuuuuu

How about the Groans? I need both.

So, I just install the new version and it will keep my existing thanks and groans, right?

This hack has worked out so great for us! I really, really like it!

If you upgrade to vb3.6, the groans should work fine until an update comes out.

[JollyJack]

thanks great to have this back so soon

Ok, thanks Abe.

[big dan]

Thanks for this hack.. This is something this site should impletment. ;)

Edit on further inspections, it's seems to of broken the dropdown list, for user info. Anyone else experince this?

[Patria]

I noticed a strange behavior, after editing a post by Quick Edit the Thanks button disappear.

[RS_Jelle]

* RS_Jelle clicks install and uninstall for the old version :)

[cavyspirit]

The thanks are whacking out my template a bit.

Can you help figure out the template edit to fix this?

Nothing I can do about that really. vB uses somthing else then normal to pull just the postbit for it.

What version do you have installed where.

[cavyspirit]

What version do you have installed where.

I just installed your latest version 5.0 on my 3.6 board. It was an upgrade for me. I also have groans 1.2 installed.

I think somehow there are too many div tags. Attached is a screen shot showing tables (red), table cells (blue) and div tags (brown).

Thanks.

Do you have any other styles?

[dragonhart]

This is great!!!! Thank you very much Dragonhart :D

[cavyspirit]

Do you have any other styles?

Yes, but they are not used. Nor have I edited them to take advantage of any of my add-ons. I guess I should just delete them. But again, they are not used and my styles are not user selectable.

[cavyspirit]

Would it help to view source on one of the pages? Here is an example: http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/general-chat/19546-so-obviously-great-forum.html

Did you ever edit the post_thanks_postbit template? If you did, you should revert it.

[cavyspirit]

Yup. That was the problem. That worked! Whoohoo! Thank you very much.

[cavyspirit]

Okay. Well, I got my thanks back to normal, now the groans are still wigged out. All templates have been reverted. Of course, the groans are still on v1.2.

What can I do to fix this?
Thanks so much.

I didn't update groan yet. You can maulay remove from the post_groan_postbit template $spacer_open and closed in the beg. and end of the template.

[cavyspirit]

PERFECT! Thank you very much!!

[cavyspirit]

I would still like to be able to put two additional queries in the members profile:

Posts GROANED by username
Posts THANKED by username

Can you figure out a way to do that? I really need to be able sometimes remove all groans made by a user, especially when that user is put on restricted, moderated or banned status.

Maybe I'm confused.

In the MemberInfo template, this code:

$vbphrase[post_thanks_total_thanks]: <strong>$userinfo[post_thanks_user_amount]</strong>
<br />
<if condition="$userinfo[post_thanks_thanked_times_on] == 1">
$vbphrase[post_thanks_time_post]
<else />
<if condition="$userinfo[post_thanks_thanked_posts_on] == 1">

<a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=findthanks&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]"><phrase 1="$userinfo[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_search_user]</phrase></a>
<!-- End Post Thank You Hack -->

At the bottom, that one query (search) gets you all posts that were made by the user that were thanked by someone else (same with groans).

I would ALSO like another query that is all posts made by others that this user has thanked (same with groans).

I hear what you are saying now. It's on my to-do list. No garranty though.

[cavyspirit]

If you can give me a viable string like this that would work:

search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=findthanks&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]

I'd be happy to add it myself until you make it official.

And probably a little more code in the php file.

Thanks for a great product!

Not possable yet. Needs a lot of code.

thx, updated :)

I forgot about another problem I'm having. I can't update the groan counts when the groans are removed from a post.

Any update on when you'll have the groans upgraded for 3.6 as well? We use them equally with the Thanks.

The count should update automaticlly.

[cavyspirit]

On closer examination, it's not the count that's not working, it's the Remove All Groans on the postbit that's not working.

This does only appear by using the IE,
Firefox or other browsers have don't make "trouble" ;)

I've been using the thanks button on my site for so long, upgraded my forums to vb 3.6 gold and then upgraded to this version a few days ago, and then just a few hours ago I had a few database errors come through relating to the database error above.

Anyideas what caused that?

You can set who can't thank by user group in the vbulletin options for the plugin.

Of all the posts I've ever read in this forum over the years, that one just totally cracked me up! :)

Do your guests see the thanks (and groan if you have it) option/button when on the forum? Is it visible to them?

[unitedpunjab]

No,but i think the problem is this code which is shown to all (logged in or not)

I've been using the thanks button on my site for so long, upgraded my forums to vb 3.6 gold and then upgraded to this version a few days ago, and then just a few hours ago I had a few database errors come through relating to the database error above.

Anyideas what caused that?

It looks like an error with removing all thanks from a post. Any of your admins report this error?

How to totally disable this hack for guests ?
for the past few days google spends an hour daily trying to thank posts.

No there is nothing about. There is a reference from some more members for the same problem but actually nobody replied or proposed something that solves the problem or explains clearly that does not work with earlier versions as 3.5.3 or 3.5.4. That's I'm asking for. Thanks anyway for your reply.

P.S. Finally I resolved the problem by installing the previous version of this hack and it works fine. Thanks to Abe1.

I am not sure but i do have a problem.

here is my Google sitemap stats

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[Darat]

Abe1 - this is a great mod but I can't use it on my live forum (almost 2 million posts) because searching for 'thanks' just brings the forum to a virtual stop. I notice you mention on the 3.5 version thread you were going to look into this perhaps by indexing some fields? Also related to this is there a way to limit searches to just posts thanked this month?

[movielist]

Well this is an Excellent Hack and the Problem might be with my setup.
I am not sure but i do have a problem.

here is my Google sitemap stats

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/7227/thanksmv0.jpg

Isn't this just because when it's crawling posts, it sees a link (the thank you button) and tries to crawl that too?

It doesn't necessarily mean that your posts aren't getting crawled, just that these links (which are getting No Permission) are being crawled as well.

I may be wrong.

[unitedpunjab]

If searchbots are getting Invalid links for half the time they spent on a site.
It cant be good.

There is no reason why you should loose all the thanks unless you uninstalled the hack.

[euangel]

Thanks for this hack. Quick question...how can I change the wording? Instead of calling them "Thanks" I want to call them something else that fits better in my forum...

[Darat]

Most of it is phrased so you can search for the phrases and just replace them.

I used a slightly different approach that meant I could do all the changes in one go - I edited the products xml file - changed the phrases it installs with and then installed the mod.

Just hoping now for Abe1 to look into how to make the search reasonable on a large forum... hint... ;)

[euangel]

I'm trying ot install but it keeps saying Importing Product, Please Wait... ...

I'm having this problem as well. Any suggestions?

[actolearn]

killer mod.

an idea, for consideration: allowing an option to sort threads (aside from stickies) by number of thanks. this would allow the mod to become sort of like the idea behind digg.com, but internalized for your own community.

Any solutions or suggestions? should we be performing the postbit changes first then import the xml?

there is an option to turn off thanks for all but the first post, right? that essentially makes it a thanks per thread.

It's saying the column post_thanks_thanked_times couldn't be found. Create it and it should uninstall

[jgommel]

You don't understand - that DB error is the result of the uninstall. With the mod installed, that table is installed with it. Once you uninstall the mod, the tables go with it as well. When I then try to access my forum for example: http://www.notworking/forums/, that's wen you get the DB error.

There are a few ways around this -- I could just disable the plugin and ignore it, but that defeats the purpose. I could also probably add the table 'post_thanks_thanked_times' back into the DB and that may patch the problem, but again that's defeating the purpose of an uninstall.

Are going from vb3.0 -> vb3.6?

There are 4 quaries you must run first. You can find them in the vb3.5 version download.

[scorpsy]

Abe1 Yes I went from 3.0 to 3.6

What exactly do I have to do & run I am a bit of a newb :rolleyes:

[MaviJean]

You may want to change;

<version>5.11</version>

to

<version>5.1</version>

in the plugin file ;)

[scorpsy]

You can find them in the vb3.5 version download.


Where and what do I do with them?

I looked through all the 3.5.1 files & only found 1 and that was in admicp folder.

Abe 1 said I have to run 4 queries but I don't understand what to do.

[Aylwin]

Maybe if you play around with the template.
I've added a 'Thanked' column to my Members List page so it's easy to check who's been thanked the most. If anyone else is interested, here's what I did.

Open memberlist.php and find:
case 'posts':
$sqlsort = 'user.posts';
break;
after, add:
case 'thanked':
$sqlsort = 'user.post_thanks_thanked_posts';
break;

Edit the memberlist template and find:
<if condition="$show['postscol']"><td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=DESC&amp;sort=posts&amp;pp=$perpage$usergro uplink">$vbphrase[posts]</a> $sortarrow[posts]</td></if>
after, add:
<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap"><a href="$sorturl&amp;order=DESC&amp;sort=posts&amp;pp=$perpage$usergro uplink">Thanked</a> $sortarrow[thanked]</td>

Edit the memberlist_resultsbit template and find:
<if condition="$show['postscol'] AND exec_switch_bg()"><td class="$bgclass">$userinfo[posts]</td></if>
after, add:
<td class="$bgclass">$userinfo[post_thanks_thanked_times]</td>

I made a small fix so I changed the version 5.11. No major info about the release though. It was done just after i released 5.1.

[Jcee]

I have installed Post Tx...

Not sure what I did wrong.
Will re-do it but thought I'd ask you in the meantime.

After installation my POSTS are entered twice or so it seems.

Once I click on a post as user or admin I see two entries.

Attaching a screen shot. (even switching off Pst Tx did not help?)

I just reverted my template settings one by one.. only when I reverted the postbit template, was the issue resolved.????
any advise? help?

[Darat]

Version 5.1 (09/14/06):


Re-did the search for thanked posts.





Does this mean searches on larger boards will be faster?

[Jcee]

Now it works!!!

Seems an issue copying txt from Simple Text Mac OSX.

BTW. Can you please give a short description of why the template edits are required...

[Abe1]

It may. I didn't run many tests.

So you can see the thanks info.

Some are just searches.

[oz_moses]

would it be possible to have a page in the usercp like the Reputation page where you can see who has given you thanks for which post and when?

Cheers,
Moses.

I'll look into it.

[Aylwin]

Feature request: email notification. I think it would be nice to receive an email notification when someone thanks you. This would work the same way as the normal thread email notifications.

With my limited skills though, this sounds complicated to do. Any chance on including this in a future release?

It's not hard to do but I dont think most people would like an email for each thanks. THey could be getting emails every min.

[Aylwin]

Well, I think there are a few ways to implement it.

1) Like thread subscription. Only one email would be sent until you visit the thread again.
2) Like forum subscription. The user would receive daily or weekly updates. In the daily/weekly email, the user will be notified about all the thanks in all the threads he/she has received during the past day/week.

Of course, it would be ideal to give users the option to choose whether or not they want notification and what type of notification (instant/daily/weekly) they prefer.

I was running 3.0.12 & went strait to 3.6.1. I never removed the hack when I up graded.


Also when I get the right queries where do I run them?


Thanks for helping me ;)

[big dan]

Are there any plans to implement a "No thanks" addition? Where garbage posts would be given a thumbs down. Possibly reducing there thanks amount? I think that would make an excellent tie in.

Also, it would be nice if this could some how be integrated with the user rep system. Members on my board don't even bother with the rep system, if would tie say 10 thanks = 1 rep point that would be great.

Either way I'm satisfied with it just as it. It adds a great dynamic to my forum. :)

Run these queries and then import the xml.

Both are done already. This hack works with rep system, and there is a Post groan hack.

Thank you much, Abe.. I didn't even realize this was already implemented and out. :)

This place could really use the thanks hack ;)

[scorpsy]

How & where do I run them?


I tried the tools in the do not upload then run the xml still getting The same data base error:confused:

[vivamexico55]

Question:

How can I remove the "Thanked Posts/Thanked" bits that display in every user's post?
For instance in my forum it goes
USERNAME
(title)
(avatar)
Join date: 2006
posts: 55
Thanked: 1 *
Thanks received: 1

I'd like to remove that.

Both are done already. This hack works with rep system, and there is a Post groan hack.

Also, where is this? I only found this for Vbulletin 3.5.4, not for 3.6.1

Thanks for your awesome work, it's pretty cool =)

[oz_moses]

Cheers Abe1, I've found an easy solution though as it looks like you've already worked this in.

What I did was configure the thanks to give +1 reputation. Then I enabled the rep system and hid the Rep icon from the postbit.

Now when someone get's thanked it shows up as new rep on the usercp with a link to the post. Easy as :)

[Aylwin]

How can I remove the "Thanked Posts/Thanked" bits that display in every user's post?
If I'm not mistaken, simply remove the following from your postbit/postbit_legacy template:
$vbphrase[post_thanks_thanks]: $post[post_thanks_user_amount]
<br />

[kushal]

great mod. thank You

[scorpsy]

OK

I got it working after running the queries but now I have 2 thank you messages instead of one.

does anyone know why?

[grc]

post vB 3.6.1 upgrade, i am receiving this message atop my forums when a user clicks Find All Thanked Posts from within the navbar search and/or memberinfo...

I upgraded today and am seeing the same error. Was this ever resolved?

[TygerTyger]

Love this hack :) but I think someone already mentioned, it would be great to have the AJAX dealt with via a cached JS file as opposed to having all the code inline for each post, it adds a very substantial amount of extra code to the source.

[Abe1]

OK

I got it working after running the queries but now I have 2 thank you messages instead of one.

does anyone know why?
Make sure you didn;t make the template edits 2 times.

[TygerTyger]

I'm using this along with post groan and it's currently very easy to vote both on the same post just by clicking on one button then the other before the AJAX updates the button status. Is there any easy way to prevent this?

[scorpsy]

Make sure you didn;t make the template edits 2 times.


Well I checked & did not see any doubles. I reverted just in case installed the hacks again works like a dream :) :)


Thanks guys for all your help one happy chap ;)

Turn off the option to not allow users to thank and groan.

[Mevo]

Thank you...One of my favorite Modifications :cool:

[RMS-Chef]

I think I mentioned this before on the previous version's thread but I would love to see an addon to this hack with the ability to add a new column to FORUMDISPLAY next to "Replies" and "Views" that showed the number of "Thanks" that each thread has. Perhaps have it display a periodically cached value or something to reduce server loads if that would be an issue.

[Kadi]

This is just what we need for our forum. How would I translate the phrases? Thanks

[Jcee]

What happens to Tx records, when merging posts?

[TygerTyger]

Turn off the option to not allow users to thank and groan.

I have done that, it's not a problem after the vote has been placed. It's before the effect of the AJAX update has kicked in. Try it yourself, click one then the other as fast as you can. It gives both a thanks and a groan even though it's set not to.

i already re-did some of the code. It will disappear right away in next version.

its doesnt let me to upload the product what should i do?

[Shazz]

Installed working perfect..

[Eagle Creek]

Is there a way to reset all thanks back to 0? (maybe with dbase?)

[sananedir]

i was using version 2 i dont know about new version,
but it must also be using crazy mysql querries making the database very overloaded.
be carefull while installing this hack.

i also found a solution for database load that this script causes but it is really too long edits to tell here

Fabolous. This is such an awesome mod. Don't you just hate the 10-page thread with one useful post and 99 thank yous!

THANKS AGAIN!

[category]

this hack doesnt work for me whenever i try to upload it page can not be displayed and i also executed the query

[RS_Jelle]

Has to do with the way the AJAX works with the edit post.
Is it possible to fix this 'problem'? :)

what's the differences between this hack and Psionic Vision's hack of thank you hack?
I also saw it on his site, but it isn't released as a paid mod and also not for free. It seems to be a different mod, not just a modded version of the Post Thank You Hack (other url etc.), but it looks a lot the same.

[saman]

Hi ABE,

I am running 3.6.1 and it seems its working great for me . Thanks for creating this hack.

Just one question, how is it possible to set every each (for example) 15 thanks, one rep. point added after 15 times receiving thanks

15 thanks = 1 rep. point ???

Cheers,
Saman

[Rob Eh]

Works great. I thought I really screwed up when I couldn't see the button on my posts or when not logged on as a guest. but I see that is the default.

Regards,

[Abe1]

Empty the MYSQL take called 'post_thanks'. After, run all 4 re-counts in your ACP maint..

[Abe1]

What hack?

[Abe1]

Is it possible to fix this 'problem'? :)
Not really. Since it uses AJAX, it doesn't us the regular postbit. It seems to just drop the other buttons back with out looking for everything.
