[midlandi]

www.forum.triphp.com

[projectego]

Great work, Ziki! I'll install this and check this out later. :)

[Stop]

Nothing happened.. !!!
It showed no icons this time at all ...

[Beermonster]

no images for me either

[NFLfbJunkie]

Images need to go in to a folder called 'zhicons' and it needs to reside in your forum's root directory.

[Ziki]

Yes it is written in the instructions.

This is already done..

[tanyeri24]

demo or ss?

[Gryphon]

demo or ss?
There is a big huge link on the 3rd line of the release.

[RichieBoy67]

Can you add a text file containing manual edits for post bit????

[sensimilla]

Nice, better than the one with template edit.

[Zia]

afaik..vbseo rc8 has an option to add custom submit button'

[MrPHD]

Nice Work Installed but can´t see any changes. Regards

[NFLfbJunkie]

Has anyone gotten the images to show up?

[RichieBoy67]

I am not using a default style and this is not doing the template edits for me. Can someone please supply me with the postbit edits????

Can someone just copy the section of there postbit containing the code and post it here??

Thanks

[midlandi]

Does anyone ever reply to problems here?

Installed as per

icons do not show???

[Ziki]

God, I'm a jerk

[Ziki]

1.0.2 released

Added manual instructions.Just add $zhxthisthread into one of your postbit templates.

[RichieBoy67]

I have no problems figuring out where to place this but some people might so a little more detail would be helpful....

Thanks....

This is a useful mod!

[Paul M]

Please I am not 24/7 on the internet.I will add a new product into post two for christs sake.Maybe if you actually tested things first you wouldn't keep running into loads of posts saying it doesn't work - and have to keep releasing fixes.

[Ziki]

Maybe if you actually tested things first you wouldn't keep running into loads of posts saying it doesn't work - and have to keep releasing fixes.

I test them on a unmodified test board.If they modify it too much it's not my problem.

[RichieBoy67]

Nice attitude.....

It looks like you are in a rush to get things released. Most mods have specific instructions included in text files..... If you put so much time into your mod and then you don't bother telling anyone how to use it what's the sense???

Then you say it's not your fault if people have modded boards as you realease a mod????????? Dude.... That is messed up... You are releasing a mod on a site for modded sites saying that you test this on an unmodded site? Do you realize how that sounds???

2 paragraphs of instructions is not much to ask for....

I have already wasted too much time on this when I can just add these images myself. The time I have spent trying to figure this out could have been spent doing it myself...

uninstalling.... sorry..

[RichieBoy67]

$zhxthisthread geeeez... This is what you told everyone to add??? Did you mean this??

zh_xthisthread

Oh well, neither work for me.. I have tried everything....

Thanks anyways..

[midlandi]

1.0.2 released

Added manual instructions.Just add $zhxthisthread into one of your postbit templates.

Sorry can you clarify this more please...dont forget you may be an expert alot of us are new to all this.Thanks.

[RichieBoy67]

He is saying that if the automatic template edits do not install then add that to your postbit template...

Did not work for me but I do have a modded board and this mod was built for boards that are not modded...... not worth any more effort..

I will do this on my own and rerelease one that is supported with instructions...

Ok...pm me when you have one if you would be so kind:)

[Paul M]

I test them on a unmodified test board.If they modify it too much it's not my problem.No Ziki - it has not gone unnoticed that you have had a fair number of releases that simply did not work when first released - and nothing to do with modded boards - just coding errors - many have required fixing by other members. You must test things properly.

[Ziki]

Yes and I am very grateful for that.

[Ziki]

1.0.3 released

Everything works now as it should.The template name was not correct.Please try the manual instructions again.

Not everyone is perfect you guys.Remember that

[midlandi]

Yes and I am very grateful for that.

what are you grateful for?
questions are still not answered!

[midlandi]

1.0.3 released

[Ziki]

I said that I am grateful when members fix my hacks.And what questions are not answered.

[Ziki]

and if the icons don't show up place $zhxthisthread into postbit or postbit_legacy

You might want to read install instructions...

[midlandi]

You might want to read install instructions...


Ive read install instructions you have posted here very vague.

Where does the "and if the icons don't show up place $zhxthisthread into postbit or postbit_legacy"

get put? top...middle...bottom???

[Ziki]

Where you want.I suggest putting it after <!-- / sig --> </if> that's the best place.

[midlandi]

Thanks i will try that

[Ziki]

To avoid further "Why do you release hacks that don't work?" questions try putting yourself into my shoes.I am 14,on a gymnasium where we have 8th and 9th grade merged together so twice the work in one year and I have to be all ones or else I am getting grounded for quite a long time,then I am learning for my driving license for a motorbike,then my girlfriend,friends and family and then I get here and get bashed for a small glitch!That makes you wanna quit it huh?(Plus I didn't mention all my paid hacks I have to finish)

[NFLfbJunkie]

Ziki, this is just normal behavior from a bunch of inpatient vBulletin'ers who want to spice up their boards. However, everyone should understand that there is life outside of hacking.

Amen

[fusiongoddess]

I do not know Ziki, but I do not like the attitude of most of you in this thread! Even the Administrator. Ya'll ought to be ashamed. It's a free modification. You could tell him nicely that something doesn't work, instead of demanding. This is the kind of thing that keeps me from releasing things here.

Anyways, Ziki, I will be trying this on my forum. Thanks.

[RichieBoy67]

You both sound like two kids.....

Perhaps instead of releasing 90 billion mods and them crying about people complaining you should take your time and release them when they are done...
Have you seen the mods here??? The arcades? The article mods... geez... I could go on and on and on.... Go take a look at their instructions! They are professionals for sure...

Asking for some instructions is not much to ask for... If you don't have the time to release them right then don't release them at all!

And what kind of stupid comment is that Junky? Who are you to throw out insults like that?
I do get impatient when I have to reinstall a simple mod 8 times in order for it to work... This mod was very simple compared to most and you don't hear them complaining.......

I will stop now.. I just get so agravated at crap like this... It was not our fault this mod did not work. Any moron can upload some files and install a plug in...... Your plug in was incorrect! I appreciate you taking the time to do it and blah, blah, blah... That is not the point though...

Why not concentrate on quality mods and not quantity. You must have more releases here then anyone....

Hi Ziki. It's great that you are contributing to the community. I think what Paul is suggesting is that you will better serve your end users and reduce your work load (for support, etc) if you put more time up front on testing prior to release. One good method our team has used is getting a group of forum admins who are willing to try out your plugins and ensure that they are working at 100% prior to release. Our pre-release team has been fundamental to our success. We give them the code and basically hope that they will break it! If they do, we fix it. If they can't, we know that the next GOLD version of vBSEO is ready for release. ;)

Oftentimes, a few small tweaks is all you need for the fix. But the problem expands if you release too early because you may get hundreds of users all reporting the issue at the same time and requiring feedback from you.

[RichieBoy67]

Yeah, That was what I meant but that sounded much nicer......lol

Thanks JWard..... I wish I said that... lol

[NFLfbJunkie]

How in any way was my last post taken as an insult by you Richie? I just commented on the usual behavior that occurs when a new Hack/MOD is released that still needs a little coding done to ensure that the Hack/MOD is fully functionable - everyone wants it to be immediately fixed. Too many times, despite who the one is who wants the newly created MOD, we expect 100% perfection from the coder who is giving to the rest of us their imaginitive coding, whether professional or novice, or somewhere in between. I really don't know what Ziki's reputation is with newly created & released MOD's, but he does have quite a few of them finalized, by whatever means, that all of us have downloaded and installed on our boards. Maybe I am missing something here, being just a hacker downloader and not a hacker coder, but I REALLY do appreciate what all of the hackers do with their time and effort with offering up new hacks that enhance the boards that we all offer to our customers.

[Ziki]

Yeah, That was what I meant but that sounded much nicer......lol



Thanks JWard..... I wish I said that... lol


Yes perhaps arcades and shops have professional install instructions but they have exploits too which mines don't.And also the popular hack FPS_EXTERNAL does not work even vbRewrite has a serious bug but nobody complains.

[rickyreter]

I personally look through each mod thread and decide if its worth all all the trouble if it is i will install and be happy.
I see with this mod it is creating too much hassle to just click in 30 secs and not working properly..the idea i guess is to release a mod that is working...not half releaseing and hopeing for the best.

Sorry just my opinion....and will not even bother installing

[Ziki]

You know people only report that it doesn't work but don't report if it works.It really works now.

[Stop]

It does work fine with me ...

But it still misses the signature template. And in one of my sections, where I disabled signatures, look where the icons showed..( first pic attached)

I suggest you add it here ( second pic attached) and to make the icons only show in the first post. We don't want members to digg some posts but the main first post..

[Ziki]

Are you sure that post had a signature?

[ngocha85]

Thanks Ziki :) I love your work :p

And?

[Ziki]

I am adding new icons very soon.Be prepared

[MThornback]

I have it evaluating $post[firstnewinsert] so that it shows up right beside the date/time of the post....I think it looks alot cleaner up there :)

[DannyITR]

I'm curious...do you guys really think this hack is worth it? Visitors don't click on ads and don't register either. To me, all I'd be doing is clogging up the server for the members who actually do bring in the revenue from ad clicks. Thoughts?

[Ziki]

This is only to promote your posts on the web.

[Chachacha]

It works. Thanks.

Good idea.

[Chachacha]

Is there a way to put it in the first post only? I've moved the icons to the bottom of posts (to the left of the reply and quote buttons)...but I want it to only show up in the fist post of each thread. Is that possible?

[Ziki]

Yes but it is not on my todo list

[Chachacha]

Yes but it is not on my todo list

Gee thanks.


Is there anybody with a helpful and courteous disposition that will tell me how to do this?

[Celtkin]

Is there a way to exclude the social bookmark icons from showing in certain (paid) forums?

[giovannicosta]

installign now...

[neoxi]

thank you.. installed :)

<!-- Social Bookmarking -->
<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']">
$zhxthisthread
</if>
<!-- Social Bookmarking -->


Please note that this only works for manual template edits... If you want to define where/when this mod executes, you have to remove

eval('$post["signature"] .= "' . fetch_template('zh_xthisthread') . '";');


From the product's xml file and reimport. By doing this, you can manually place the above code anywhere and it'll execute where *you* want it to.

[momo2]

first of u did not mention to change you url inside the xml second where needs to be done bi coz i change ur sample to mine and still i am getting blank redirect..

[Ziki]

It is changed in the settings and not in the product so just change it there,that answer the second question too.

[alexgeek]

Brilliant! Thanks!!

[nokalexander]

Good work :)
