[DBTech] Advanced Post Thanks / Like v3 (vB4) [AJAX]

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you set the usergroup permissions in the Button Manager?

Fillip

[Dakoom]

Dragonbyte, i have a forum with 660.000 posts. It's normal that your addon, to be installed, require one hour or more?
Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

For a forum that size then yes, that's very normal :)


Fillip

[Dakoom]

In your opinion could be simple add your addon also in vbulletin blog and vbtube or other scripts of vbulletin? (album, for example)

[DragonByte Tech]

It's not simple, no, but we do intend to expand it in the future :)


Fillip

[Dakoom]

I very suggest you to expand it in the next future. And i will buy immediately

i installed it but when ever i click on thanks button, after 5 secs it goes me to a blank page and refresh it every 5 sec...

Hello,
Can You add importing from this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=165673&highlight=Post+Thank+You+Hack ?

I and my users was using this on vB3, I cant migrate to your mod now.

[DragonByte Tech]

The Pro version can :)


Fillip

[shoppingtelly]

I've just updated this and it erases all my members profiles so it looks like everyone is deleted and all posts were made by guests.

Fortunately no one is deleted and disabling the product puts everything right again.

I'm using vB4.1.1

Same thing happening here and not supercharged, did you manage to find a solution?

[DragonByte Tech]

Try running /admincp/thanks.php?do=finalise&version=110

If it gives you a database error in the end, ignore it and then run
/admincp/thanks.php?do=finalise&version=111

For some reason this doesn't get ran automatically for some people who install the mod without having Super Admin permissions.

Thank you working fine now, where do I buy the pro version from?

[DragonByte Tech]

You can get it from our website www.dragonbyte-tech.com :)


Fillip

[vividbreeze]

bought the pro version, very nice! But I just ran the importer.php file and ran the import and it did like 20,000+ thanks.....but when you view their info in the postbit all the stats shows 0.....what am I doing wrong?

[DragonByte Tech]

Pro support is handled in our Pro support forums, please post there :)


Fillip

[vividbreeze]

nevermind, figured it out - thanks man for such an awesome mod :)

[Sworm]

I have the like of vBseo, it is possible to disable only the "like" and working with the thanks only?

GREAT Work

[Alan_SP]

Yes, of course. You have part where you say what buttons you want to use. I disabled Thanks, because it has image of smile, and left Like, because thumbs up image. :)

@DragonByte Tech
Anyway, in free version (offered here) now you can use dislike button too, it's not reflected in first post. Maybe more people would use it and some might buy it afterwards. In first post it's stated that option to use dislike button is reserved for Pro version:

Feature List: Pro

Dislike Posts: Allows users to dislike a post. Great for situations where someone is spamming, posting ridiculous content etc.

[shoppingtelly]

Is there anyway to stop the notifications each time a thank or like is clicked?

Thank You

[DragonByte Tech]

Yes, of course. You have part where you say what buttons you want to use. I disabled Thanks, because it has image of smile, and left Like, because thumbs up image. :)You can change those images, I believe the path is /dbtech/thanks/images

Fillip

[Sworm]

Hi,
how to remove the "thanks"? I don't see the "unThanks" button....

and should great is a user click "Like" and after, the same user click "dislike", the first "like" should hided.....

[Sworm]

Is there anyway to stop the notifications each time a thank or like is clicked?

Thank You

Yes should great or it it very invasive on a big board and if somebody receive a big number of likes or thanks ....

[DragonByte Tech]

Hi,
how to remove the "thanks"? I don't see the "unThanks" button....That is a Pro only feature :)


Fillip

[Dakoom]

Add also for blog the thanks... it's very important!!! For blog, for cms and for vbtube!
And add also "post lol" for funny video.

[DragonByte Tech]

The Pro version lets you create your own buttons, so you could create a "post lol" button.

Fillip

[Dakoom]

Ok. Please add also the options to post thanks (lol, dislike and so on) for blogs, video, album, photo, all contents external to forum. I can pay you if you add it right now.

[DragonByte Tech]

We will look into adding it to blogs and other vBulletin functionality in the future, however we most likely won't add compat with 3rd party addons as they are often very tricky to hook into.

Fillip

[Dakoom]

and with a good budget, you can add this functions right now for me?

[DragonByte Tech]

Since our time is very limited, our rate for custom work is $1200/week approx.

If that is acceptable to you you can get in touch with Decado over at our website to discuss it further :)


Fillip

[Dakoom]

time of development of this function?

[DragonByte Tech]

That would depend on just how many new places you want it to integrate with.

Please PM Decado with a full, detailed list of new areas / mods you want it to integrate with, and he will discuss it with me, and we will get back to you :)


Fillip

[Dakoom]

Decado was online last time here, on vbulletin.org, on the 2007.

[DragonByte Tech]

I'm asking you to PM him at www.dragonbyte-tech.com :)


Fillip

[Dakoom]

Done.
Anyway i suggest you to verify the problem of your plug-in post thanks.
This plug-in is very good but there is a problem: when i install it, the forum is very slow.

[shoppingtelly]

Yes should great or it it very invasive on a big board and if somebody receive a big number of likes or thanks ....

Is the ability to stop notifications available in the pro version?

[DragonByte Tech]

Is the ability to stop notifications available in the pro version?No, it will be available in either Pro or Lite in a future version :)


Fillip

[shoppingtelly]

No, it will be available in either Pro or Lite in a future version :)


Fillip

Thats a shame
*uninstalled*

[Sworm]

Too invasive the notification, i'll reinstall this hack when and if this function will be addedd.

Regards.

[Alan_SP]

Yes, notifications are really annoying, but this is great product, even this free version has like and dislike functionality enabled. I'll keep it and over time I'll buy it. :)

[shoppingtelly]

I agree and would be happy to buy if could turn notifications off.

[Alan_SP]

Maybe it's not my to say, but they at DragonByte are preparing something very exciting about all those pesky notifications. :) I think that would be real a hit among all of us that are annoyed with notifications...

[shoppingtelly]

Thanks Alan, looking forward to it.

[DragonByte Tech]

We will update it with a way to shut off notifications, it's unsure if that feature will be Pro-only though :)


Fillip

[grc]

I've hacked the original "thanks" add on and installed them to my 4.07 forum in addition to original. They include, for instance a "laughing" button that is pretty popular. I understand that the pro version will let me add buttons like that - cool. My question is, will I be able to import my hacked "laughing" stats along with the "thanks" if I buy the pro version?

Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

[taffy056]

Ah, sorry about not updating the readme.

The permissions are now located inside the Manage Buttons interface - edit each Button and change its permissions :)

We'll consider it for a future version, thanks :)


Fillip

Forgive me for asking this, but where exactly is this manage buttons interface, I just cannot see it, perhaps I am blind or something ? ;)

* edit - never mind |I realise you must be logged in under the superadmin

[Alan_SP]

Or as superadmin give the right to edit mod to admin account you want.

There's currently no plans to expand the importer, but that may change in the future :)

G8 work. Working fine. I have a question, can you guide me how to change the thanks/like/dislike buttons for 4.1.0 ver?
Rated 5.

Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

What do you mean, change the buttons?

Fillip

[CK]

Need some help guys. Tried installing this on a backup twice and on both occasions something has went badly wrong and its changed all my users to guests. I'd love to get this hack up and running but there's no chance if this is a possibility on my live board.

Has anyone else reported similar behaviour?

[DragonByte Tech]

This sometimes happens if you install it on an account that does not have Super Administrator permissions.

Please manually run /admincp/thanks.php?do=finalise&version=110

If you get any errors in the end, ignore them, and manually run /admincp/thanks.php?do=finalise&version=111

Fillip


No, the original mod doesn't offer other types of button clicks. As I said, I hacked it to create a couple of others.

If we get the pro version, I may be able to hack the importer so it will work. Basically, all I did was replace, in the original "thanks" mod every instance of "thanks" with "laughing," creating a new add on.

Thanks for the quick reply.

[DragonByte Tech]

I see, well the importer reads off the thanks table and assumes the column names are thanks, so you should have no problems renaming those things in the importer, then :)

Cheers, sorted it! :)

Another forum I visit has the like button above the reply button, how do I do that as show here?

http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x292/chemicalkicks/Untitled1.png

[CK]

Also, if you've disabled thanks/dislikes how do you get them not to show in the statistics in the collapsable bit underneath a user avatar. I'd only like the "likes" to show but it's currently showing everything.

[DragonByte Tech]

That's a vBSEO feature, it's not possible in this version yet.

However, in the future, we intend to adapt a similar interface as an option :)


Fillip

[CK]

Bugger. Thanks for the replt anyway. :)

[Merriweather]

I just installed this on 4.1.2 and when I try to edit a button, I just get:

Invalid Button: 0

Nothing works. :( I followed the install directions exactly. ??

[DragonByte Tech]

Try clicking Repair Cache.

If that doesn't work, try a reinstall :)


Fillip

[Merriweather]

I had tried both with no luck. Will try again tonight after work and let you know what happens.

[DragonByte Tech]

Please also try flushing any cache systems like vB Optimise and vBSEO.

Fillip

[Merriweather]

I don't use either of those. :)

[grc]

Will this plan of transition work?

1. Install the light version of this mod, but leave the old "thanks" in place (this just for testing purposes).
2. If it works okay, get the pro version and import the old thanks database, and then disable the old thanks version

[DragonByte Tech]

Yeah that will work fine :)


Fillip

[Merriweather]

Ok, tried again...

Uploaded the folders to my forum directory and permissions are set properly. I'm running 4.1.2 so I chose the xml file from the vb40 file in the "Import Product" section. Going on four minutes of waiting and it still hasn't installed.

I have your moods and status mod installed and working, and a few other mods installed and working (some I have installed since trying yours, so I know it's not that my installer broke somehow), so I don't get why this one won't install for me. :(

ETA ~ 7 minutes later and I got a blank admin screen. :( If I go to products, it's not there.

[DragonByte Tech]

You must have a large post table then, sometimes these things occur when installing to a large post table.

Unfortunately I don't think there's anything I can do about this :(


Fillip

[Merriweather]

Yes, I have a large post table - I'm going on two days of updating the search index since upgrading. :(

I really want to use this mod! What does it to do the post table - maybe it's something I can do manually in steps...??

[Merriweather]

Stupid question, but lines 51 and 52 of 100.php say:

self::$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread` ADD ADD `dbtech_thanks_enablelike` ENUM( '0', '1' ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'");
self::$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `" . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread` ADD ADD `dbtech_thanks_enabledislike` ENUM( '0', '1' ) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1'");

Could the double "ADD" be messing it up at all?

[DragonByte Tech]

I doubt that, SQL woulda thrown an error.

What I might do, for the next version, is release a simplified installer that won't need to alter the table - instead I'll create a new table that'll only be populated by posts that have had their settings altered.

Fillip

[grc]

I installed the lite version yesterday - it went pretty good, although I should have used Super Admin when I installed it, so had to finish it manually.

Today I bought the pro version and installed it. The install was easy and quick.

The import took a long time - about an hour.

As mentioned in an earlier post, I created hacked duplicates of the old Thanks mod, for instance, one for "Laughing."

I really wanted to hack the importer to import those stats too, but after a half hour of playing with it I decided it wasn't going to work for me, so I just let our forum start over on that one.

Anyway, I really like the pro version - all the numbers will please stats geeks for sure!

Thanks for the nice mod.

[Merriweather]

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for that. :)

Does this hack follow the settings of Reputation giving? For example, you can only give userA rep points after you have given 30 other people rep points and you can only a certain amount of rep points per day.

[Gradonil_Ral]

Post Thanks/Like tab in the profiles displays hidden threads' names.

Is there a way to fix it?

[DragonByte Tech]

There is no way to detect whether the person can view the thread but not the contents. It will correctly hide threads for forums the person does not have the password for, cannot access or cannot view threads.

Fillip

[Gradonil_Ral]

No, I meant that it displays thread names from the hidden forums.
People might not be able to access the threads, but sometimes the names of the threads speak too much already.

[DragonByte Tech]

The only way that would occur is if the person did not have access to view thread contents as described above.

It's been tested numerous times and as long as the forum is either password protected or their usergroup has "can access forum" set to no, the thread won't show up.

Fillip

[Lestat_]

The only explanation I can think of is that some other mod is not properly appending to the postbit hook.

Try setting the execution order for the "Postbit Integration" plugin to 99 and see if that solves it.


Fillip

had a similar problem, installed PHPKD_VBLVB_ULTIMATE linkchecker bot and suddenly no more thanks postbit info, when I disabled the linkchecker bot, postbit re-appeared.
Then read this post, tried to put 99 in the "postbit integration" execution order, enabled the linkchecker bot, and both are working fine now :) thanks for the solution :up:

[DragonByte Tech]

Please post in that modification thread and ask the author to use .= and not = when adding items to the postbit_right_after_posts template hook.

They will understand what I mean :)

4. Configure your Usergroup settings by clicking "Manage Buttons" under
"DBTech - Post Thanks" in your AdminCP navigation menu, then
editing each button and setting your usergroup permissions from there.

The only Post Thanks options I have in the Admin CP are these.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=128243&stc=1&d=1303078809

I'm not seeing any "Thanks for the post" or "Like" buttons anywhere in the postbit.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=128244&stc=1&d=1303078809

Also, there was no image file in the zip, which is maybe why I'm not seeing a button in the postbit? Do we need to create our own button or something?

[DragonByte Tech]

Please give your account either Super Administrator permissions or the Can Administer Thanks permission, then you will be able to follow that step correctly :)


Fillip

[Warlord]

Thanks, that did the trick. :)

[DragonByte Tech]

This can occasionally happen if you install it with an account that is not Super Administrator.

Please manually run /admincp/thanks.php?do=finalise&version=110

If you receive any errors at the end of that script run, ignore them and manually proceed to run /admincp/thanks.php?do=finalise&version=111

Once both those scripts have been ran, it should work as intended :)

First of all, thanks for this MOD... i really like it. It is installed on Helpline3D.com http://www.helpline3d.com
we are thinking to buy the pro version as soon as we have the funds.

Now, I have disabled thanks and unlikes and only kept the like option just like facebook.

But I am not able to find from where should I disable the thanks and unlike form appearing anywhere on the posts, profiles and statistics.

Thanks (Given) 0 (should not display)
Thanks (Received) 0 (should not display)
Likes (Given) 0
Likes (Received) 2
Dislikes (Given) 0 (should not display)
Dislikes (Received) 0 (should not display)


I just want to have the likes.

Please suggest what should I do.

[Lestat_]

in admin panel you can disable the buttons you don't want to use, in the example below I only use thanks ;)

Hi there,

I'm installing it right now on my live site (it worked perfectly on test server) but I have one question.

As for my qusestion (actually a request), could you elaborate a little bit more on the step:4. Optional File Edit it is a little vague. What could happen if I don't do it? What happens if I do it?

Thanks in advance,

If you don't, people will be able to see hidden content by using the search feature.
If you do, they won't.

Whenever I have enabled vBShout v5.4.3 PL2 (Lite), I get the following error when I thank, like or dislike:


Thanks Thank for this post
Invalid response from server:

I do not have this problem when vBShout is disabled.


Update:

Nevermind, I've remedied this problem. Within the vBulletin AdminCP I deactivated the dbtech_thanks_postsave plugin.

Another Update:

I've installed this mod to my test site for evaluation. This mod is awesome. Soon enough I'll buy the full version. Awesome product!

[CharlieDelta]

Hi Fillip,

When the page is refreshed the error disappears and the like is counted.

Hi guys,
just upload the whole "upload" folder into root?
Thanks all!

Do it as you said there except is not the "upload" folder inside root... it's everything INSIDE the upload folder into your forum root. You should be asked if you want to Merge or Replace the contents depending on which FTP software you are using. Answer yes.

To fix it, please try the following steps:

Step 2) If that didn't fix it, please enter the postbit.css file and find the .postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a, .eventbit .eventfoot .eventcontrols a { CSS class, and remove the background: definition.

Do it as you said there except is not the "upload" folder inside root... it's everything INSIDE the upload folder into your forum root. You should be asked if you want to Merge or Replace the contents depending on which FTP software you are using. Answer yes.

Thanks caracena, now I know how it works...:)

[mr_clean_mr]

This is most commonly the result of CSS settings, namely the background attribute of the .postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a, .eventbit .eventfoot .eventcontrols a { CSS class, in postbit.css.
To fix it, please try the following steps:

Step 1) Remove all the contents of the postbit_control_background StyleVar.
Step 2) If that didn't fix it, please enter the postbit.css file and find the .postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a, .eventbit .eventfoot .eventcontrols a { CSS class, and remove the background: definition.


Hope that helps :)


Fillip

this works perfect. i had no settings for postbit_control_background so i set it to transparent and it works perfect! thanks for the help!

I'm trying the demo or lite version of thanks on VB 4.1.3. I like it but noticed that whenever I click one of the "liked", "dislike", or "Thanks" buttons, the following error is posted next to it "Internal Server Error".
Any ideas how to correct this? I want to buy the full version but currently this version doesn't seem to function properly.
Thanks

I can access the file and can confirm the path:

Hi there,

I'm installing it right now on my live site (it worked perfectly on test server) but I have one question.

As for my qusestion (actually a request), could you elaborate a little bit more on the step: it is a little vague. What could happen if I don't do it? What happens if I do it?

Thanks in advance,

If you don't, people will be able to see hidden content by using the search feature.
If you do, they won't.


Fillip

I'm a newbie and this is embarrassing, but where/how do I find "/vb/legacy/post.php" to edit it?

[caracena]

I'm a newbie and this is embarrassing, but where/how do I find "/vb/legacy/post.php" to edit it?
Look inside the files you downloaded from vbulletin.com (the ones you upload to your server to make the installation). In those files (already unzipped I guess), look for the folder called legacy. Inside you will find the post.php file.

Just copy that file and paste it somewhere else (i.e. your desktop). Open it and make the changes. Save the file, close it and upload it to your server, but be aware that you will have to upload it into the right filder (same as above: in your www folder, inside legacy).

Cheers!

went back to the other one as this one the thanks in the first post would not work.. all the posts after it would though..

[mrscot]

I've tried the demo or lite version now I need to uninstall it How do I go about that? I don't seem to see a "uninstall" button or script to run. I tried deactivating the buttons but the "Post Thanks/Like" stats still show up in the user's profile next to each thread.

Just go to vBulletin Options >> Plugins & Products >> Manage Products and then locate the product named "DragonByte Tech: Advanced Post Thanks / Like (Lite". Open the dropdown to its foremost right and select either Disable (in case you decide to give it another shot later on) or Uninstall to completely remove it.

If you uninstall it you might want to FTP into your site and remove the XML/Images you uploaded when you installed this mod.

Cheers.

[mrscot]

Hmm... try deleting the files this modification tells you to upload in the first place. You might also try first deleting your browser history and cookies (or just reload using Ctrl + F5). Maybe it's all in cache?

Hi,

Can't seem to get this mod working. Whenever we click thank or like it just displays 'Not Found' - also, is it possible to have this within the main post table rather than in a new one on its own (ie up next to Edit post etc)

Cheers,

Fillip

[Martyn1983]

My bad - what can I say, it's been a long day!

As for the second point, any way to put the bottons in the main post and have the window open below with the likes/thanks text) EG on here, to the right of your sig theres the quote/edit buttons - somewhere like there, with a new box opening underneath with the thanks/likes info?

[DragonByte Tech]

We plan to improve upon the layout options in the future, though it's more than likely that the majority of customisation options will be available in the Pro version :)

I downloaded today's latest version and I'm still seeing the "Internal Server Error" message whenever I click on one of the "Thank, Like, or Dislike" buttons from within a post.

What is the difference between the "Can Click" and "Can Require Click" permissions?

I'm using VB 4.1.3

Thanks

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you update vBShout?

Fillip

Did you update vBShout?


Fillip

No I didn't... but after updating my lite version of vBShout, it now works great!
Thanks for the fix.

[Sean James]

We have been having problems with members registering but staying in the guest usergroup.

When amember is disabled this does not happen.

How can we use this great plugin and amember without conflicting with each other?

[DragonByte Tech]

amember must be using an incorrect method of creating a new user. Unfortunately there's nothing we can do about that :(


Fillip

[Sean James]

Ok we will contact amember.

[paulket]

First, thank you very much for this outstanding mod!

I was hoping that there is a way to place a box around the postbit legacy information,.. the Post Thanks / Likes in the user information area. Can someone please tell me how it is done?

[Roxie]

Couple of things, I'm not seeing the importer for Abe's mod.
Also, is there a way to remove the postbit info? Or to have the info listed somewhere else? Trying to cut down on the postbit clutter.

Thanks!

[TheChief]

I've followed this:

1. Upload all files from the "upload" folder to your forums directory.

2. CHMOD the following folders to 0777
/dbtech/thanks/vbactivity_type

3. Import the product-dbtech_thanks.xml file from the "XML" folder at AdminCP ->
Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

4. Configure your Usergroup settings by clicking "Manage Buttons" under
"DBTech - Post Thanks" in your AdminCP navigation menu, then
editing each button and setting your usergroup permissions from there.

however there is no where that i can see in my admin cp that i can amend the permissions (see red). That has left the mod visibile on my forum but i cannot select anything

Please advise

[deverill2010]

I have this installed and love it.
One thing I have noticed is that I must have it enabled for guests which I don't mind but when a guest click on it, it doesn't show a name.

Surely it should show 'guest'?

[deverill2010]

under DBTech - Post Thanks click on manage buttons then edit a button.then the usergroup permissions are all there.

[TheChief]

should that appear on the left hand block on the admin cp

sorry for the dumb questions, total newbie

[deverill2010]

A block titled this "DBTech - Post Thanks" should yes. Mine appears under vBulletin Blog

[TheChief]

Where in the FTP did you place it.............

I've gone onto my forum root/admincp/added the .php

under my Vbull blog i see advertising.........this is really frustrating hahahaha

JIt is not intended for guests to be able to click the buttons, the reason why Unregistered usergroup still has that option is because I can't exclude it from the settings array.

I've followed the flow on my FTP and they are there, any other thoughts

[DragonByte Tech]

It looks like you've accidentally uploaded the /upload/admincp/thanks.php to the main forum folder.
Could you please double-check the folder structure of your upload?

Fillip

[TheChief]

They are in public HTML/forums/ the in the required upload folders

[TheChief]

I really am sorry for all this :(

[DragonByte Tech]

In that case I am unable to assist any further.

The line number and the code that is producing the error is consistent with the thanks.php file found in the admincp folder, but if you insist that this is not the case then there's nothing more I can do :(


Fillip

[TheChief]

Gutted, i'll have to disable it

[TheChief]

Thanks for trying.........it's greatly appreciated

They are in the right place, just not working

In fact, i've tried all the folders on the FTP that have the same name and still nothing

[TheChief]

Well, i've no idea what i've done but i've added this and added that and put this here and put that there and it seems to work hahahahaha

[deverill2010]

Hi dragon byte I have one more question, which file do I need to remove the dislike bits from showing on the drop down on posts. See image.

I don't use the dislike buttons and have them unticked in ACP.

[DragonByte Tech]

Hi dragon byte I have one more question, which file do I need to remove the dislike bits from showing on the drop down on posts. See image.

I don't use the dislike buttons and have them unticked in ACP.That's not currently possible, sorry :(


Fillip

[deverill2010]

So I can't even just edit it from the template? Grr :)

[DragonByte Tech]

No, because you can create and manage your buttons from the Button Manager, which means the template can't have the buttons hardcoded :)


Fillip

[deverill2010]

Ah ok, can I make a request then please for any future versions :).

If the button isn't selected that it doesnt show on the post/thanks drop down on a users post. The dislike button isn't selected so doesn't show where the buttons are which makes sense, so it would make sense if it didn't show where I have highlighted on a previous image :)

I do love tg mod though and users seem to like it so a+ from me otherwise.

[DoubleGlasses]

I feel like I've done something really silly. I basically installed it. I see the postbit part with no problem but the interface underneath the forum posts to like or thank doesn't appear. In addition, when I go to the forum manager, it only shows the top level forums. It doesn't show any of the sub forums.

Am I missing something?

[DragonByte Tech]

I feel like I've done something really silly. I basically installed it. I see the postbit part with no problem but the interface underneath the forum posts to like or thank doesn't appear.Could you ensure that you've enabled the "Can Click" permission to each usergroup in the Button Manager -> Edit?

Also, keep in mind you will not see the controls to thank / like / dislike for your own posts.

In addition, when I go to the forum manager, it only shows the top level forums. It doesn't show any of the sub forums.That's a limitation in the Lite version :)


Fillip

[mrscot]

What is the difference between the "Can Click" and the "Can Require Click" columns?
"Can Click" seems clear but what about the "Can Require Click"?

[DragonByte Tech]

When you post a new post in the advanced editor, checking "require thanks to see contents" enables the use of a HIDE bbcode to hide the contents until the thanks button is clicked.

Fillip

[Ali Bokhari]

can i disable the Notifications of thanks? the alerts which i'm receiving ?

[DoubleGlasses]

Thanks so much for the fix - I got it working. Now that I see how it works - I really really like this mod!

[Mikevet1984]

When you post a new post in the advanced editor, checking "require thanks to see contents" enables the use of a HIDE bbcode to hide the contents until the thanks button is clicked.

Is the HIDE bbcode installed automatically with the mod or there must be installed manually and separately?

[DragonByte Tech]

Automatic :)


Fillip

[angeljs]

Hi, I'm definitely interested in the pro version, but I was wondering how easy this would be to integrate with other mods, such as vBa Dynamics, that need to be installed in a folder under my main forum, (e.g. mydomain.com/forum/folder). I tried editing the vBa show post template with {vb:raw thanks_postbit} but nothing showed up.

[DragonByte Tech]

The postbit display is only designed to work with the vBulletin postbit, sorry :(


Fillip

[Diddy Kong]

When trying to upload the XML I get the following message:

/home/sites/lfc4life.net/public_html/forum/dbtech/thanks/includes/class_install.php appears to be missing!

What am I doing wrong?

[DragonByte Tech]

http://www.lfc4life.net/forum/dbtech/thanks/includes/class_install.php - returns 404.

Please upload the contents of the upload folder to your /public_html/forum folder.


Fillip

[Diddy Kong]

That's what I tried to do. Uploading the XML file in the pluggins section of the vBulletin site.

That usually works for the other mods I add.

[DragonByte Tech]

Well your web server seems to disagree that the files are in their correct location, and without those files there's no way to install the mod (and even if there was, it would not work correctly after install).

There's really nothing more I can do :(


Fillip

[Diddy Kong]

I don't understand how I can upload the chat moderation on here that I did last week, but I can't with this one.

[Diddy Kong]

Is it because I haven't had this mod before and it is only an upgrade?

Thanks for your help by the way.

[DragonByte Tech]

No, it's because your web server does not recognise any APTL files being present in the forum folder. I'm not familiar with every web server configuration so I'm not able to tell you why this happens :(

http://www.lfc4life.net/forum/thanks.php = 404
http://www.lfc4life.net/forum/dbtech/thanks = 404

Etc.


Fillip

[Diddy Kong]

OK thanks.

[Alan_SP]

Is the HIDE bbcode installed automatically with the mod or there must be installed manually and separately?

It's there, but for some reason it doesn't work for me. :( I'm not able to use hide BBcode, if I require click whole post gets hidden.

[Mikevet1984]

Today I bought the pro version of this mod the official site!

Thanks to ozzy47 for his support I managed to add the Hide buton function....

It must be added manually through template edit and one image ftp upload.

What exactly? Do you remember?

[Mark Hewitt]

Pretty good but a bit heavyweight.

I'd quite like to have the "Like" button as just another button, alongside edit etc, rather than having an entire section below the postbit. Attempts to do that aren't looking good so far :(

You can just have the Like button turned on, and you can (at least in Pro, not sure about Lite) set it to sit alongside the Edit/Reply buttons.

[Alan_SP]

In lite you couldn't place it there, but you can edit template and make it smaller.

[MissKalunji]

how does the "thank you" before viewing content work? i installed, I don't seem to see how to do it?

[DragonByte Tech]

Check the relevant boxes in the Advanced editor, then use HIDE tags in between the content you wish to hide :)

Actually this doesn't work for me too. I wrote on dragonbyte site, they didn't find solution (they say there's no people who have problems beside myself). You also need to set it in AdminCP for button for usergroup that they could require click to made hide BBcode to work.

And no, hide don't need to be upper case.

Did you follow step 4 in the readme.txt file? :)


Fillip

[benjones]

Sorry for not going through 49 pages if the answer is already there.

I've got this working fine in 4.1.3 but two questions.

How do I get rif of "require dislike to see content" in additional post options?

Can I use this to hide only a limited part of a post eg so that the viewer can see preview pictures of a file to download but can't see the links to download the whole file without clicking thanks?

[DragonByte Tech]

How do I get rif of "require dislike to see content" in additional post options?"Can Require Click" permission in the Button Manager.

Can I use this to hide only a limited part of a post eg so that the viewer can see preview pictures of a file to download but can't see the links to download the whole file without clicking thanks?Yes, via HIDE tags once the Require Thanks to see content is checked :)


Fillip

[benjones]

"Can Require Click" permission in the Button Manager.

Yes, via HIDE tags once the Require Thanks to see content is checked :)


Fillip

Thanks, I've experimented unsuccesfully with hide tags so far. Should I be specifically be adding a hide tag in the BB code control panel? Can I then hide other BB code within the tags so far example (using "{" to replicate "[" here)

{hide}{code}filename{/code}{/hide}

Thanks for your patience with a noob and thank you for an excellent mod seeing as I didn't make that clear before!

[DragonByte Tech]

You shouldn't add any tags to the BBCode Manager, it's built in :)


Fillip

[Alan_SP]

oh, so It still doesn't work for you either?

No, it doesn't. I could make whole post hidden, that works. But when I try to use hide BBcode, it doesn't work. On DragonByte's website I see difference how hide BBcode is shown in posts, there it works, but on my site doesn't. There's something different, maybe how PHP was compiled.

[benjones]

Looking in my adminCP my hide tags have definitely disappeared, possibly after I uninstalled one of the other post thank you hacks. Any clues on how to restore the tag?

[ForenOpfer]

Hey Fillip (;

Nice Mod, I use it roundabout a year, but now I have some questions:

1. Is it possible to edit the postbit template like in older versions of the mod? I wanna insert a table...
2. Where do I find the "Thanks (Given)", "Likes (Given)" ... phrases? I checked everything, but I haven't found anything to edit that :/

For better understanding there are two screenshots to explain what I mean:
Older Version:
129650

Latest Version:
129651

Looking in my adminCP my hide tags have definitely disappeared, possibly after I uninstalled one of the other post thank you hacks. Any clues on how to restore the tag?It is built-in.

1. Is it possible to edit the postbit template like in older versions of the mod? I wanna insert a table...Yeah, the postbit templates are in the template system :)

2. Where do I find the "Thanks (Given)", "Likes (Given)" ... phrases? I checked everything, but I haven't found anything to edit that :/Only the words "Given" and "Received" are translatable, the "Thanks" is derived from the name of your button.

I have a problem, hidden content that requires you to thank need to be re-thanked (unthanking then thanking again) to view posts that were edited.

So for example when member A makes a post with hidden content, member B will thank them to see what they posted. But when member A edits the post, member B must unthank and thank again in order to view the content again.

Is there a way to fix this? thanks

Un-thanking is not possible in the Lite version so this is not something I've been able to confirm on my testing environment :(

In reference to the "Require Thanks" maybe I am slow this morning, but why would we want to require someone to say thank you to something before they see it?

Great mod by the way, my users enjoy it. I even added a "LOL @ this message" for the funny one's.

People who run a forum that's based on releases, like say movie torrents, may want to use a thanks mod like this to prevent people from spamming "thanks" as replies, but still require the author to get attribution before they're allowed to see the content :)

Hey Fillip (;

I can't find any editable code in the postbit template :/

<dd class="collapse" style="font-weight:bold; clear:both;">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_stats} <a class="collapse" id="collapse_c_thanks_post{vb:raw post.postid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top" style="position:relative; top:0px; right:0px; float:none;" ><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" alt="" /></a></dd>
<dd>
<dl id="c_thanks_post{vb:raw post.postid}" style="display:none;">
{vb:raw stats}
</dl>
</dd>

There is a {vb:raw stats} instead of the editable template code in older versions:

<dd class="collapse" style="font-weight:bold;">{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_stats} <a class="collapse" id="collapse_c_post{vb:raw post.postid}" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top" style="position:relative; top:0px; right:0px; float:none;" ><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse_40b.png" alt="" /></a></dd>
<div id="c_post{vb:raw post.postid}" style="display:none;">
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dbtech_thanks_postbit'] & 1 AND !($bbuserinfo['dbtech_thanks_settings'] & 1)">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_thanks}</dt>
<dd>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_x_times, {vb:raw post.dbtech_thanks_thanks}}</dd>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dbtech_thanks_postbit'] & 2 AND !($bbuserinfo['dbtech_thanks_settings'] & 2)">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_thanked}</dt>
<dd>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_x_times, {vb:raw post.dbtech_thanks_thanked}}</dd>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dbtech_thanks_postbit'] & 4 AND !($bbuserinfo['dbtech_thanks_settings'] & 4)">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_likes}</dt>
<dd>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_x_times, {vb:raw post.dbtech_thanks_likes}}</dd>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$vboptions['dbtech_thanks_postbit'] & 8 AND !($bbuserinfo['dbtech_thanks_settings'] & 8)">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_liked}</dt>
<dd>{vb:rawphrase dbtech_thanks_x_times, {vb:raw post.dbtech_thanks_liked}}</dd>
</vb:if>
</div>

Any ideas? :/

Gotcha, thanks again for a great addition to my forum.

Fillip I have problem with this mod when enabling the blogs to my vbylletin suite with a skin from the completevb.com site. The view of the buttons is screwed up... In the default skin everything works perfect. please help.

I have everything installed (and re-installed) but the reveal button doesn't work for me. Everrything is else is fine, the thanks button shows up and works, and the hide tags work and display the reveal button in the post. Only problem is that pressing the reveal button does nothing at all, and the links remain hidden.

Any clues?

Just for kicks, did you CHMOD the following folders to 0777
/dbtech/thanks/vbactivity_type

I do not know if that has anything to do with it, but it is worth a shot.

Yep, I did. I'm on VB4.1.3 and I've disabled adblocking just to see if it's a problem only affecting my viewing, without success.

Could you pm me a Admin account with full perms, and ftp info, and website, and I will see if I can get it sorted for you.

[DragonByte Tech]

There's no "reveal" button for this mod, so unfortunately this is not an issue we're able to assist with.

Could this be used to hide content by users post count? For example: Content appears if they have 250 post count
else
You must have 250 post count to view this content you currently have 120.

[DragonByte Tech]

No it can't, this is not a dedicated HIDE hack, it was just included due to popular request :)
