[AJAX] Post Thank You Hack

vB 4.0 version of this hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231666

Post Thank You Hack 7.7


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.

No new features for <3.7

3.7 users will get the updated Profile.

BUT, if you install this version now, when you upgrade to vb3.7, you wont have to update this hack.

[Atwal]

Thanks.. Do you think you can update the Post Groan, Can't Thank and Groan the Same Post, & Admin Log In As User from 3.6 to 3.7?? Or will those already work?

[Audentio]

Thanks a lot, I was waiting for this. I was using the older version on my 3.7 and it worked fine, just so you know.

EDIT: In the member.php, Im not getting the text "Total Thanks" Im just getting a small box for a tab.

I was wondering if there's a way to make the thankyou box only appear after say 2 or 3 separate people have thanked the post? I'm wanting to use the hack to highlight the outstanding posts on my forum, and a couple of people seem the be very thankful for all sorts of things. I'd like it so that if the thank you box doesn't show until multiple people have said thanks for it.

[vwdforum]

thanks lol (hope you got it)

Today 20 Dec 2007 or 2006? :)
Thanks for this hack Abe

[Ba$im]

thanx.

[tobias_t]

Quick question - how can I remove the "number of thanks a user has given" figure from the postbit userbar? I tried various template edits, but couldn't get it to disappear.

[sensimilla]

Nice share, although thankyou button always amazed me by its poor design.

Maybe put a condition around the box.

You can remove it from the template.

[Hornstar]

Thanks for the update :)

[lolo?]

thanks abe1 :)

[zmmmzz]

Is there a way I can limit the hack so that people can only thank just a few times a day and no more than that?

Please I need this. I'll pay you if you help me.

[pedrambayat]

thanks

[Snake]

Many thanks for the release! :)

[RS_Jelle]

Also a bump for this issue (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1397815&postcount=1849). I also reported this already before :)
It throws up an error in the Firefox error console for each showthread page.

[1F42]

Just thinking why? that last one is working fine on v3.6.8 and if there is a bug in Firefox then I'll stay with the old for now. You made it too good in the first place lol well done!

[bxbigt]

will this mess up my members thanks count ?

[Noctavia]

Maybe put a condition around the box.

I thought it might be something like that. Sorry to be a pain though - but where would I be looking for the bit that displays it? Would it be in one of the templates? Or the XML file?

And if anyone (yourself or someone viewing the thread) would be able to give me an idea of what sort of condition I would need, that would be a HUGE help. Still learning a lot of this...

Hey, nice work!

Question: If I set this to only show for 1 particular forum (like a customer service area), will the 1 query still have to be run on the other forums? If yes, is their a way to prevent that in a future version?

Thanks so much!

[Noctavia]

If there's anyone who has a little knowledge that could help me set up the conditional to only show the thanks box if 2 or more people thank, please PM me. I'm not sure what to write and feel Abe doesn't have the time (or want) to help me. This is the only thing that is stopping this mod from being exactly what I want for my forum...

Tray the following, but I don't know if that could give errors...

Replace your post_thanks_postbit_legacy template with this code:

<if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] >= 2">
<div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt2" width="175">
<if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] == 1">
<strong><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_user_says]</phrase></strong>
<else />
<strong><phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_amount_formatted]" 2="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_users_say]</phrase></strong>
</if>
<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6">
<br /><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_all&amp;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_all($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove]</a>
</if>
<if condition="$post['show_thanks_remove_option']">
<br /><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_user&amp;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions['disable_ajax'] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_user($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove_user]</a>
</if>
</td>
<td class="alt1"><div>$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</if>


Note that I'm using Postbit Legacy, you shuld add the conditional to the post_thanks_postbit template, if your are using that.

[vBVision]

Thanks for hack! But I have a problem with it. In the profiles of all users the total amount of thanks is similar with admin's thanks! My vbulletin version is 3.7.0 Beta 3. What's that, what can I do to solve this problem?:)

[Noctavia]

Thankyou Elmer!! Looks like it works perfectly. Thank you so much. /bow

[johnr]

Is there a mod or submod of this that would allow guests to say Thank You and this be shown in a seperate part i.e. 'x Guests said Thank You for this post'?. Also on the groan hack too :)

[bxbigt]

will this mess up my members thanks count ?

Noctavia, I suggested this in the 3.6 thread, but I don't think you saw it. You're really much better off using the hooks Abe1 placed within the code, instead of using template edits as suggested above, otherwise every time Abe1 updates the mod, you'll have to re-do the template edit above...

Just create a simple plugin for hook location: post_thanks_function_post_thanks_off_end

Try this:

$sql = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(post_thanks_votenum) AS qty FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post WHERE postid = " . $postinfo['postid'] . " AND qty < 3");

if ($sql['qty'])
{
return true;
}


Within the query, change the 3 to minimum quantity of times a post should be thanked before displaying, and I think it'll give you what you need.

Note: To those who encounter this error Unable to add cookies, header already sent after the installation of this mod:

Its because you must follow the instructions given in the templates to alter and add the "$template_hook[navbar_search_menu]" in the navbar template if you are using a previous older style.;)

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:
Bitfield Collision: credits_cantearn = prefixrequired

Any one know how to fix this
i uninstalled the 6.3 and tried to reinstall and still the same thing

That looks like an error with the credits mod conflict you had with this mod.3.7 b3 works ok with this.

seems to work on beta3 :) thank you very much!

[donal]

Thanks for the update Abe.

I am already using this hack in ver 3.6.8. Now after I upgrade my forum to 3.7, will my members be able to retain the previous "Thanks counts"

[paulmjno]

The permissions are backwards. I mean, there's only one forum I'd like to enable this on, so I would need to disable it for every forum but that one, including any new ones I might add.

[zmmmzz]

I want to display a hit counter so that everytime someone hits the thanks button a number increases by 1. What kind of plugin should I add to make this happen?

[superthang]

thanks you for the hack :)

is there a click thanks reveal hidden content?

[Traxdata]

a member of my board noticed that when you click on the Post Thanks tab on someone's profile, the data is actually your own, not the person's who's profile you are looking at. I took a look at some profiles and indeed - I saw my Thanking Posts...

on vb3.7.b3
can anyone confirm it?

I have a suggestion, if you don't mind. :p

Could the Post Thanks count be under the 'Statistics' tab instead of having it's own tab?

No. I can't do any more functions in the stats box so I needed my own box.

Hi, I have some problem, If I prune threads on a forum, post thanks count will remove too?

[Pod]

Hi, I have some problem, If I prune threads on a forum, post thanks count will remove too?
I pruned my test installation (to reduce the database size :p), and I can tell you that the thanks to the deleted posts are no longer counted. So yes, if you prune, you lose the thanks.

[thealpha]

Is there a way to manually override the thank you count? A larger number of threads were removed from my forum however I still want the user to have his thanks.

I will try to add an option for next release.

I would like to have Thanked posts show up in the "latest repuation received" area of the User CP, but not actually add any points to their reputation. Is this possible?

We currently allow people to click the reputation scales and send a little message, but the community has chosen not to track points, so that the reputation never actually increases. Is there any way to do the same with Thanks? Thank a post, have the thank you show up under the post, and then a link to it show up in the User CP, but with zero points?

Thanks

For some reason there isn't a Thanks button for any of the posts by the admin only, everyone else has it. I have not changed any of the defaults either, any ideas?

I have suggestion for username into thanks box:

In the /includes/functions_post_thanks.php at line 160:

For username use the vb function for get musername (username with style), I use this system:

// Get vBulletin User Group ID
$UserGroupID = ( $thank['displaygroupid'] == 0 ) ? 'usergroupid' : 'displaygroupid';
$cache[$thank['postid']][$thank['userid']]['username'] = fetch_musername($thank, $UserGroupID);


And the sql I have edited:

$thanks = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX. "post_thanks AS ps INNER JOIN " .TABLE_PREFIX. "user AS u ON (u.userid = ps.userid) WHERE ps.postid IN (" . $post_ids . ") ORDER BY ps.username ASC");


I suggest to add this system ;)

I have rewrited the table at bottom post for get thead class for first cell and delete external divisor for more standard ;)

Thanks for your production :)

[Taragon]

could someone tell me perhaps when/where the thank you button is added. somehow -using a custom style- it's showing twice.

(when I revert the postbit_legacy template it is showing ok again)

After installing this, my forum reverted back like 3 days. :( I lost a lot of posts.

Probably because I installed it on 3.6.8. But I thought it was supposed to work on 3.6.8. Maybe I installed it wrong? Are we supposed to do something different for 3.6.8? I did read the 3.6.8 instructions when installing it.

I hate to say this, but I'm still using version 6.2 (or so it says in my adminCP > Plugin and Products system). Have there been any changes to the database in the updates that I should be aware of before I upgrade to version 7.1?

I'm still running vBulletin 3.6.7 but will be upgrading vBulletin when the stable release comes out for 3.7

[music legend]

disregard my support i have fixed now and the mods cool

how did you fix your problem?

[rinkrat]

My thank button is looped so there is one on the first post then two on the second adn three on the third etc.. and also the list of "Thankers" is after every post instead of just the first one! I managed to get rid of the multiple thanks by limiting thanks to the first post, but still the list of thankers is after EVERY POST in the thread which clutters the whole page.

How do I fix this?

[softvnzla]

As I can change the button thanks to another poscion?

[Mixibiza]

Problem Solved :d

[grc]

I don't know if anyone is interested in this and I hope it is okay to post how I hacked this hack for some customizing.

We have a prayer request forum on our site and several people asked me if they could have a "praying" button that is like the "thanks" button. Last night I took it on and succeeded in "hacking the hack."

I actually worked off of the "groan" because I wasn't sure how things worked and didn't want to mess up the thanks hack. However, I see now that I could use either one. Basically, I took the "groan" hack and ran the files through a find and replace process to change "groan" to "praying!" I then edited the phrases in the main php file, created a "praying" gif, and installed it.

Finally, I renamed the php files.

While I was on a roll, I did another version for "laughing" - another request I've had.

Things aren't perfect, for instance, some of the phrase names are a little weird, but they work just fine.

Our users love the Thank you hack and I think they are going to get a kick out of the other versions of the "hacked hack."

[grc]

Hi sorry to be a pain but i have installed this hack and when i click on the thanks button the button disapears and no thanks is added what have i done wrong?

thanks

I know you said you solved it, but you didn't say how. My bet is that you forgot to upload the post_thanks.php file that is in the root of the upload folder.

BTDT

[TomasDR]

I am having a strange problem with one user. According to the user he is using IE7 with XP, no addons with IE7 (i.e. toolbars, etc.).

Note I have over 8,000 users.

When this particular user Thanks someone, one of two things happens, either it goes up by 2 "thanks" (no biggie) or by 4,294,967,294 "thanks" (yes 4 billion, don't we all wish we had a board that popular).

If he is the only user it will actually read "
The Following 4,294,967,295 Users Say Thank You to xxxxx For This Useful Post:"

If I put in my thank you and then remove it, the # will change to 4,294,967,294.

It doesn't matter if he logs in with another user either. This issue also does happen with your groan addon, but again with only the one user.

Finally according to the user "Thank You's" and "Groans" mysteriously appear on posts after he reads them.

Now I realize this is totally a client issue but I was wondering if you could point me towards a solution....

[rinkrat]

When I click on the link to see my thanks given I get

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.0 Beta 3:

ImpEx System for this MOD ?
Sometimes there is a need for big board to do cleaning into new database with vBulletin ImpEx System.
At least so I strive to do in order to efficient the system.
Is it possible to upgrade this mod with addition of "ImpEx system" for him?

[dknelson]

I like this hack but have disabled it for now. It makes the postbit headers way to big due to some other things that I have installed. Is there a way to move the text in the postbit header to the other side, perhaps beside the username?

[Matty.B]

Ohhh the Irony!!! Installed THANKS ;)

[RMS-Chef]

Thanks for the continued updates Abe.
Just checked my database and I have had a little over 2.3 million "thanks" issued on my forum!

[216]

I have installed the version 7.1 to my vb version3.6.8 should i have uploaded 7.0 version instead? It seems to be working fine so far.
Is there any way to NOT have the counters show up in the post users column ? Im new at this so im trying to learn it. Is that area called the postbit? I didn't check but i would like to just have it show up in the user cp but not in the post. Is this possible ?
Thanks for any help on this issue.

[TPOCJames]

Just so you know, the search all thanks by this user doesn't work.

[calvis]

When I import the XML I get a blank screen. Does anyone know why?

Sorry if this is answered, but I couldn't find it. Can anything be edited so that the hidden content shows before reloading the page? Would just enabling ajax do that? (mines diabled)

Thanks, and nice hack!

[vitrag24]

will it work in 3.6.4?
should i update?

[zmmmzz]

if someone thanks a thanks is discounted from his account.
Is this possible through a plugin?

[Niels84]

I've succesfully installed this on my board, and it seems to be quite succesful. Nevertheless, as always when users get some responsibility, they're already abusing the system: some users keep thanking their friends...

Is there any way to implement a system like with the reputation system? User A can't thank user B again unless he has thanked a certain number of users in between...

Nevertheless, wonderful modification!

[XJeepguy]

First off , I love this Mod , its great ! I was wondering how to modify the box size ( see attachment )? A few other forums I visit have this and their box size is about a third the size of mine . It seems very large . Also , is there a way to disable the " Remove All " link ? Didnt see anything in the readme about it but I assume this feature is only visible to Mods / Admins ?

Thanks

[Kalina]

I found a strange bug. I had a thread going and ended up having to ban the original poster of the thread, any thanks on that page caused an error. I had to delete them all, tried thanking again, and it caused the error again, only on page 1 of the thread, where the banned member had been the creator of the thread.

[Darthvader2007]

What about forum prune ??
Will this decrease your thanks counts in your profile ?
This for the thank you ranklist.

Hello,

I just upgraded from 6.1 to 7.1.

For some reason the thanks button is missing... any ideas? I am running 3.6.8

I was thinking of uninstalling and reinstalling, but would that delete all my previously thanked posts?

thanks!

[Skavenger]

hi, I have a little problem with a feature

I use this hack in a category with a few forums only, so any time I create a new forum, I have to add it in the "induvidual forums to turn post thank you hack off" setting. I was wondering if there is any possibility to make something more usefull, like a radio button to choose "include this forums" or "exclude this forums" and put the IDs there, for example. I hope you understand what I mean, my english is not good...

thanks!

Hi there...everyone loves this thanks button!! I have a question on how to change what it says when you click it.

Right now it says: The Following User Says Thank You to XXXX For This Useful Post:

How do I change that to just say THANKS or THANK YOU?

Thanks in advance ;)

[Reminisce32]

Hi. I installed and for some weird reason in the part of the thread under where the users avatar is where it says:
Thanks: 0
Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts

^^ that duplicates every post.

so for post #2 in the thread, in that users profile it will show:

Thanks: 0
Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts
Thanks: 0
Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts

then for post #3 in the thread in THAT users profile will show:
Thanks: 0
Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts
Thanks: 0
Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts

The fieldset tag draws the little box around information. You can find examples in the memberinfo statistics box template.

[Nathan2006]

Just a quick question.

I have not yet updated to 3.7.0 yet but once the full version is released,

I will be totally removing the Hide hack from Psionic Vision (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=80739) and installing your version of thank you hack.

Is there anyway I can move over the thanks you's that all my members already have and import them into your hack
once I install or would I have to start a fresh?

Thanks for any help :)

Hello ...

I'm using v3.67pl1 of vBulletin I just upgraded this mod from v7.0 to v7.2 and it created a mess .... :eek:

It was working fine, but I've had to disable it for now.... :(

After the simple upgrade (following the instructions), it seemed (for example) to take an existing "thank you" first post and proceed to automatically add a "thank you" to every post in the thread. It also started showing an extra "thank you" area under one that already existed, plus on some posts, it's now showing 3 to 4 separate thank you buttons?

Anyone help me here?

As I said, it was working fine until the upgrade. Was there something else I needed to do besides follow the v3.67 instructions ie: remove things in templates because they weren't needed any longer because of this v7.2 etc?

Regards,
Badger

Edit: ps... If uninstall this mod, will it clean up and delete all of the "not longer needed" records from the database, then if I re-install it, it will be clean? Is this a possible way to fix all of this corruption from upgrading from v7.0 to 7.2?

There is a plug-in included in this hack that fixes this problem for vb3.6.7 users. It is the one 'postbit_display_start' that has 'Execution Order: 1'

Try removing the following from it:

if (version_compare($vbulletin->options['templateversion'], '3.6.7', '>=') && version_compare($vbulletin->options['templateversion'], '3.6.8', '<'))
{


and


}

[BadgerDog]

Thanks Abe1 ... :)

The resulting plug-in (the one with 'Execution Order: 1') after the changes looks like this:

$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right] = '';
$template_hook[postbit_controls] = '';
$template_hook[postbit_end] = '';

I saved it and re-checked the board after turning the mod back ON. The board seems fine now, although I haven't extensively checked a LOT of posts, a sampling look seems to show a return to normal.

Should I run any of the AdminCP counter checks to reset anything now?

Thanks for your support... it is appreciated. This is an excellent mod and really helps our type of board. I dout we'll ever move past out current v3.67 dues to the nature of our customization, so it's great that you've maintained backwards compatibility.

I'm just wondering why the version check didn't work. As you sure you have vb 3.6.7? maybe just some files were not updated.

I don't know ....

I just checked in AdminCP and at the top is says:

You are currently running vBulletin version 3.6.7 PL1.

If there's anything (a test PHP script etc) that you'd like me to run and give you results on, I'd be happy to do so.

Should I run any (or all) of those counter reset routines in the AdminCp for your mod, after I altered that plug-in?

Thanks for your help... :up:

It seems to be only 1 user ? HELP

[Traxdata]

Hello,

I would like to suggest to add disable/enable "Find All Thanked Posts"/"Find All Posts Thanked" functions in "Post Thanks Settings"
This "Find Thanks Posts" search function in User Profiles slows down my forums.
Well, I can edit two "post thanks memberinfo" templates but disable function in "Post Thanks Settings" would be more comfortable.

Thank you :)

[teenhut]

I want to know that.

Is it possible to edit the post bit myself rather than automatic edit?

I only want to know as How many times user has been thanked in post bit rather this and also the one "How many he thanked in how many posts"

Plus it shows up under the Mood feature. I want to show where I want to. I could not any way to turn off the automatic editing of postbit template. Any help please.

[saman]

Hi,

Just upgraded it from 5.3 to 7.2, Suddenly the thanks option is not appearing on some of the threads anymore. Everthing looks just fine with correct thanked and thanks info. but its not showing the thanks button/option anymore.

ALSO everything is showing double like:

Posts: 155
Thanks: 21
Thanked 15 Times in 10 Posts
Thanks: 21
Thanked 15 Times in 10 Posts

what have i done wrong?

i am running 3.6.8 patch level 2

thanks for the advice in advance

[drew010]

one of my mods found that if they copy the thanks link for a given post and put it in an image tag in the thread, then anyone who views the thread will automatically thank that post.

as a bypass for now I have just added post_thanks.php as a censored word so it gets blocked from posts.

[Abe1]

I don't know ....

I just checked in AdminCP and at the top is says:



If there's anything (a test PHP script etc) that you'd like me to run and give you results on, I'd be happy to do so.

Should I run any (or all) of those counter reset routines in the AdminCp for your mod, after I altered that plug-in?

Thanks for your help... :up:

Regards,
Badger

No need to run the updates.

I'd have to run some test in that script and see why it thought you did not have version 3.6.7 installed. Maybe some time in the future if others say they get the same problem.

[Abe1]

I get an error

Bitfield Collision: credits_cantearn = prefixrequired

Is it because I am using VB Credits?
Nothing to do with me.

[Abe1]

I want to know that.

Is it possible to edit the post bit myself rather than automatic edit?

I only want to know as How many times user has been thanked in post bit rather this and also the one "How many he thanked in how many posts"

Plus it shows up under the Mood feature. I want to show where I want to. I could not any way to turn off the automatic editing of postbit template. Any help please.
Edit the post_thanks template then.

[Abe1]

Hi,

Just upgraded it from 5.3 to 7.2, Suddenly the thanks option is not appearing on some of the threads anymore. Everthing looks just fine with correct thanked and thanks info. but its not showing the thanks button/option anymore.

ALSO everything is showing double like:

Posts: 155
Thanks: 21
Thanked 15 Times in 10 Posts
Thanks: 21
Thanked 15 Times in 10 Posts

what have i done wrong?

i am running 3.6.8 patch level 2

thanks for the advice in advance
Make sure you removed any template edits you made. The current version requires no template edits.

[Abe1]

one of my mods found that if they copy the thanks link for a given post and put it in an image tag in the thread, then anyone who views the thread will automatically thank that post.

as a bypass for now I have just added post_thanks.php as a censored word so it gets blocked from posts.
Interesting. I will have to look into this.

[Abe1]

will not work on my skin
Make sure you read all the instructions.

[Ordovicium]

I am running a new board v. 3.6.8. The button isn't showing on either postbits. I did confirm that the templates had the correct code via the instructions.

Any idea on what I did wrong?
Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem.

[Abe1]

I have the same problem.
I would have to look at your acp.

[Namaless]

Are you sure you got this with the latest version? Also, how can i duplicate this error?
yes is very simple.

Install vbulletin, install gars, install post thanks, setup one forum to "Review Type", create more one page into one thread, thanks the thread with more one page.

When you read the second page get this error.

Another question: is possible to take username with musername function to get styled username? Thanks :)

[Abe1]

Another question: is possible to take username with musername function to get styled username? Thanks :)
It would be possible but wouldn't that slow down the forum?

[youradhere4222]

would it be possible to add an option that would allow the information in the post-bit to only display if the user has thanks?

[jacki]

Should be fixed in next version.

Thanks nice mod :D

[Namaless]

It would be possible but wouldn't that slow down the forum?
I have added and the sistem not have problem. Without is very horrible, and if you use "fetch_musername function" get from cache and not use more system power.

[Abe1]

I know about fetch_musername. I just did wasn't sure where it pulled all the infor for the so many different users.

[Abe1]

I have added and the sistem not have problem. Without is very horrible, and if you use "fetch_musername function" get from cache and not use more system power.
This is what I found, let me know if you have a better idea:

I changed:
$cache[$thank['postid']][$thank['userid']]['username'] = $thank['username'];

to
$cache[$thank['postid']][$thank['userid']]['username'] = fetch_musername(fetch_userinfo($thank['userid']));

In order for musername to work, you need to send the whole userinfo.

I ran this on a page that had well over a thousand thanks. I ended up runing over 1400 quesries and it taking 8 seconds to load!

Let me know if you have another way. This is NOT good.

[takworld]

thanks for this hack , very good .

[Namaless]

I have used this code:

$thanks = $vbulletin->db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " .TABLE_PREFIX. "post_thanks AS ps INNER JOIN " .TABLE_PREFIX. "user AS u ON (u.userid = ps.userid) WHERE ps.postid IN (" . $post_ids . ") ORDER BY ps.username ASC");

For query.

For get musername use this method:

//$cache[$thank['postid']][$thank['userid']]['username'] = $thank['username'];
// Get vBulletin User Group ID
$UserGroupID = ( $thank['displaygroupid'] == 0 ) ? 'usergroupid' : 'displaygroupid';
$cache[$thank['postid']][$thank['userid']]['username'] = fetch_musername($thank, $UserGroupID);


Without this have 21 queries and after my edit give same 21 queries.

Please check your performance..

Thanks :)

[saman]

Make sure you removed any template edits you made. The current version requires no template edits.

I removed the edits (in posbits) but the thanks (button/option) is still not appearing LINK (http://www.coolpersia.com/forums/index.php)

Done. Will be added in the next version.

One question though. Why did you do the fieldname check? The function does it for you.

[Abe1]

Anyone who has GARS (and getting the PHP error) and can let me view their ACP, please PM me. I can't seem to get the error and I dont want to play around with that hack too much.

[Namaless]

Done. Will be added in the next version.

One question though. Why did you do the fieldname check? The function does it for you.
When you use Secondary group, vbulletin get option to choice group to view.

Test this: go into user admin, and use one primary group and secondary group and save.
Now go to user admin and after primary group you found the vb menu where you choice how group you want to view.

sorry for my english.

Thanks for your support.

[Dabbi]

This is great! I highly prefer this idea to the stars rating and this looks like it's darn close to what I've been looking for. :cool:

Is there an easy way (I'm still pretty new to this) for just the number of thanks to go up but not show: the amount of thanks given or the member names of those who have said thank you? Also does the amount of "thanks" for a thread show up in the forum titles like the rating stars do? If it's not possible at this time perhaps in the future? :)

One last question.. will this slow the board down at all? We have quite a few poky dial up user (myself included) who get really frustrated if something makes the site hang or load slow.

Thank you! :)

[Namaless]

Anyone who has GARS (and getting the PHP error) and can let me view their ACP, please PM me. I can't seem to get the error and I dont want to play around with that hack too much.
if you want I give you GARS for testing the problem (I'm interest to solution this problem).

For query read only "musername, usergroupid, displaygroupid" for use less memory! :)

Hey guys, I installed this hack on my forum and it's great and all but about a month or 2 after I installed it, I have been getting the following PHP error on the top of my thread pages:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions_post_thanks.php on line 183

It does not show up on the forumdisplay page. This is per post hack, not based on a thread.

It only runs one query extra for each showthread page. It should not slow your forum down at all. I have done tests on huge forums and they are running great with this hack installed.

I downloaded it but I dont have the time to start figuring out how to use the thing. I'd rather play right off an already existing one for a few reasons.

[starww]

hey i installed it and when i try to click thanks it says

xxxxx, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

i am the admin ! please help

[Jynxx]

I really like this mod


So thanks (sorry couldnt resist)



Is there any way to total up the thanks received by a member?



If so I would rather use this in place of rep

[CLF]

I would have to look at your ACP

Do you want me to pm you the details?
Thank you! Btw, I have custom style and all I did different is I just added my own image (same name as the one originally in the zip).

Thanks again! :)

For query.

For get musername use this method:

//$cache[$thank['postid']][$thank['userid']]['username'] = $thank['username'];
// Get vBulletin User Group ID
$cache[$thank['postid']][$thank['userid']]['username'] = fetch_musername($thank);

Hope you can help me with this.

[petacat]

Updated. thanks.

Can I make a request for future release.

Set a limit (quota) per usergroup for giving thanks per day. There are some who abuse a good thing and organise to get bucketloads of thanks for trivial things.

[CLF]

This is what happens now. The button finally showed up but it multiplies. The very first post in the thread has no button, the next post has one, the next one two, the next one three buttons, and all the rest have four buttons?!? Why?!? I never changed anything. I just followed your instructions. Look, I attached the image. Please, I hope you could help me with this.
THANK YOU!

You've obviously gone wrong somewhere.

Follow the instructions once again, overwriting all existing files.

I installed this on a clean vb3.6.8pl2 version and have it on another vb (same version) installation. On the clean installation when clicking the thank you, the page refreshes --- on my other installtion (which had an older version of thank you which I overwrote with the current version) thanking doesn't cause the page to refresh.

What could cause the refreshing? Or maybe I should ask which version of this add on should I be using for 3.6.8pl2?
