View Full Version : How to turn the "Post Thank You" hack into a "Likes" system similar to vBulletin.org

Note: These instructions are for VB 3.8. See post #35 by michal72 for a VB4 adaptation.

First off, the "Likes" system on vBulletin.org is custom and does not use any other hacks- however it is too custom to be released. Instead you can modify an existing mod to do mostly the same thing.

Several people have asked me for info on how to do this so I figured I'd write it up and post it here.

You can see what it looks like on my live forum: http://www.juot.net/forums/showthread.php?t=60059

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=130766&stc=1&d=1309952895

You need the latest version Abe1's Post Thank You Hack (7.7): Here. (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=165673)

What you can see above was done with this mod plus some phrase changes and template edits, and an optional plugin edit.

So step 1 is make sure you have the ?Thank You? mod installed and working.

Step 2 is to change the following phrases. In Admin CP use Phrase Manager to "translate" these phrases from "Thank You" to "Like(s)":

You can of course use your own translations but this is what I used-

Phrase Name | Translation:
post_thanks_already | You have already liked this post!
post_thanks_remove_user | Remove Your Like
post_thanks_search | Find All Liked Posts
post_thanks_search_user | Find all liked posts by {1}
post_thanks_search_user_gave | Find all posts liked by {1}
post_thanks_thanked_post | Liked Post
post_thanks_thanks | Likes
post_thanks_time_post | Liked 1 Time in 1 Post
post_thanks_times_post | Liked {1} Times in 1 Post
post_thanks_times_posts | Liked {1} Times in {2} Posts
post_thanks_total_thanks | Total Likes
post_thanks_user_says | The Following User Likes This Post:
post_thanks_users_say | The Following {1} Users Like This Post:

Some of the above we won't actually use in my implementation but best to fix them all to be consistent.

Step 3:

At this point we need to have a "like.png" file in your images/buttons/ directory and the button directory for every custom style you have, if any. I will attach a couple of options but consider finding or making one unique to your forum.

Step 4:

Now we have to edit a couple of templates.

Edit the template: post_thanks_button

Replace it all with this:

<a href="post_thanks.php?$session[sessionurl]do=post_thanks_add&p=$post[postid]&securitytoken=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" id="post_thanks_button_$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_give($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions[post_groan_integrate]">true<else />false</if>);"</if> <if condition="$display_thanks_image == 'none'">style="display:none"</if> rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/like.png" alt="Like This Post" border="0" /></a>

Note: The above template will work correct if you use the "Post Groan Hack (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=193489)" which I also use. You can convert the "Post Groan Hack" into an "dis-like" system basiclly the same way we are changing "Thank You" to "Likes."

Edit the template: post_thanks_postbit_legacy OR post_thanks_postbit (whichever postbit you use)

Replace it all with this:

<div style="background-color: #CAEBDA; border: 2px ridge #7BBA99; border-width: 2px 2px 2px 2px; padding: 2px; width:99%; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px; margin-top:auto; margin-bottom:0px;">

<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100">
<strong>Likes: ($post[post_thanks_amount_formatted])</strong><br />

</td><td>
<div style="float:left;">$post[post_thanks_bit]</div> <div style="float:right;"><if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6"><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_all&p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_remove_all($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>);"</if> rel="nofollow">Delete All</a></if><if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 AND $post['show_thanks_remove_option']"> | </if><if condition="$post['show_thanks_remove_option']"><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_user&p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions['disable_ajax'] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_remove_user($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>);"</if> rel="nofollow">Unlike</a></if></div>
</td></tr></table>
</div>

At this point you should have a nice light-green "Like" box appearing below each post someone "Likes." You might want to stop here.

The last steps are only if you want to integrate the Like box INTO the posts like on my forum.

If you do the next step is pretty easy-

In Admin CP -> Plugin Manager, edit the plugin: Post Thank You Hack on hook: postbit_display_start

Find the line:

eval('$template_hook[postbit_end] .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box') . '";');

and change it to:

eval('$template_hook[postbit_signature_end] .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box') . '";');

OK This will move the "Like" box into the actual post table instead of below it.

Again this is a good place to stop if you are happy.

However there is one more template edit I did to keep the Like Box inside the post but at the very bottom of it regardless how short the post might be. In this case we must edit the postbit_legacy template. (I don't use the regular postbit template so I don't have any further instructions for people who use regular postbit. The following is ONLY for postbit_legacy.)

IMPORTANT- Copy all of your postbit_legacy template to a text file and save it as a backup in case you make an error or the instructions don't work for you. You can also "Revert" the template but that will undo ALL customizations you may have made.

Find in postbit_legacy:

<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Change it to:

<td class="alt2" rowspan="2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Find:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

And delete it.

Find:


</if>

</td>
</tr>

Add BELOW it:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom">
$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]
</td>
</tr>

----

And that should do it.

Of course you are encouraged to make some customizations... Most of what you'll want to change is in the top part of the post_thanks_postbit_legacy template. The background color, border style, and the like are all controlled by this code:

<div style="background-color: #CAEBDA; border: 2px ridge #7BBA99; border-width: 2px 2px 2px 2px; padding: 2px; width:99%; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px; margin-top:auto; margin-bottom:0px;">

On my forum I actually use a background image texture but did not include it here as it is an unnecessary complication.

Feel free to play around and tweak the box to your liking. :up:

I've already done most of these edits on one site and plan to do the same on others. But, this should help those searching for an option without doing a custom add-on. Great explanation as always Joe! :up:

UNRELATED: Noticed on this article it will not allow me to "like" (clicking the heart icon) the thread. May want to look into permissions or something on this.

"Sorry, you are not allowed to 'Like' this post."

Wasn't the standard, "you've liked this guy's posts too much" message :)

Hmm, I did everything you said Joe, from step 1 to step 4, plus I did the "The last steps are only if you want to integrate the Like box INTO the posts like on my forum."

I did everything, went to a post, clicked on my liked button to like a post, and nothing showed, the button left of course, but nothing showed below the sig or anything, even when I refresh the page.

I may of did something wrong, maybe you can diagnose what's up? lol.

If your postbit_legacy template confirm you have the line:
$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

In the plugin confirm you have the right hook in the eval statement : postbit_signature_end

Yeppers, the plugin is correct, I'm checking it now

eval('$template_hook[postbit_signature_end] .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box') . '";');

That's what I have in the plugin, and this is my postbit_legacy's template.

I uninstalled my Thank You hack and re-installed following the instructions here, just in case I missed a step, but it still is working fine following these exact instructions.

Your postbit_legacy template looks fine.

I'm at a loss right now.

Did you have the Thank You mod working right before this?

Did you have the Thank You mod working right before this?
Yes, I did, it was working all great.

Let me try removing the files, and uninstalling the product, and reverting the templates, and re-following the steps to see if it'd work.

I'll let you know once I've done this, and hopefully, it'd work, because it must of been an error I caused myself.

By the way, if I revert the postbit, and postbit_legacy templates, would it delete the templates? or revert them back to the original way?

BirdOPrey5

07-06-2011, 12:11 PM

If you are in a style (NOT the Master Style) but in any installed style reverting the template will undo all customizations made to that template in that style. You wouldn't see the Master Style unless you were in debug mode.

No reason to delete the php files, those weren't changed.

Also if you uninstall the mod that will erase all the previous "thank yous" you had, I don't see any benefit to uninstalling the mod.

Just re-install the mod with "Allow Overwrite" set to YES.

Then go to your styles and revert the 2 mod templates edited above, you should be back to a stock Thank You install.

And can I have a link to your forum (PM me if you don't want to post it.)

Thanks again !

The Like Post issue has been logged in the big tracker. It will be fixed eventually.

Note- these instructions are for VB3.x only. VB4.x will need different template edits. I don't have the VB4 like button.

BirdOPrey5

07-06-2011, 09:13 PM

OK The problem with Tasking Mickey was that he was using the standard postbit, not legacy. I updated the instructions above for use with either the regular postbit or postbit_legacy.

On the plus side it's another forum I can confirm this works on. :up:

Not sure what that has to do with this article? The "Post Thank You" mod can be configured for unlimited thanks/liking.

First, thank you for sharing. :)

I'll test this on my test board, but thought I'd ask here first in case you might have any insight...

I'm currently running a modified version of Post Thanks similar to this. I've wanted to add a Like button to my site and was thinking of editing Post Thanks again...similar to what you have provided.

Do you think there would be any issue with, let's say... a site running (an unedited) Post Thanks and your Like system simultaneously?

TIA!

@BOP5 : How can you reduce more "Likes" showing in a post like Facebook or here ?

It would need some custom coding- not something I've tried.

I was just about to mention that, if your forum has lets say, 100 members, and you import the likes system, something like here, it would show

Likes (12): Tasking Mickey, Bird0Prey5, Lynne, Princetoon and 15 others

The 15 others, would show the other people who liked that post, it'd be much better, since it won't take up the whole post with like 20 usernames in the like box.

I would strongly suggest installing the "Post Groan Mod" also by Abe1 and turning that into a Likes system since both "Thanks" and "Groan" were made to run simultaneously.

BUT don't do that if you have any designs on moving to vB4 as there is no "Groan" equivalent for vB4.

In Admin CP -> Plugin Manager, edit the plugin: Post Thank You Hack on hook: postbit_display_complete

Find:
$template_hook['postbit_end'] .= $templater->render();

I see the total number under statistics, but not with links to the posts liked, like here on vbulletin.org, must be a limitation to that system in itself. But overall I like this implementation of the like system. :D

EDIT: Also for some reason the post thank you hack doesn't seem to be working with the reputation system, even though I've set for all likes to give all users 5 points of reputation, I don't see any reputation added with the likes. Could this be a error caused by these edits or some bug with the mod itself? I am running vbulletin 4.1.4 in my forum.

I really can't test it on 4.x right now. I know it works fine on 3.8. I would revert back to the "Thank You" hack and see if it works then- that would confirm a bug with the changed code or just a limitation of the mod itself.
After checking the default postbit_display_complete plugin, it seems to be a bug with the changed code, as the reputation does work with the default code. Fixed, it seems I hadn't updated the code correctly, it was totally my fault.

This would be nice, if posible. Only thing is, I don't think the vbulletin 4 version of the thanks system keeps track of the likes given and received, like the likes system here on vbulletin.org. Still way better than the original layout, in my opinion. :D

Hello,

First, thanks for the instructions to change this mod! I think it's great.

However, I am having a small problem in regards to the postbit_display_start change which brings the like into the post.

When I make this change, it "pushes" the rest of the bottom of the post (the buttons, quote, reply, etc) OFF of the post itself. So the green like line is at the bottom of the post, but for some reason it is screwing up the buttons that are supposed to be below it by pushing them completely outside of the post.

For reference - vb 3.8, postbit legacy being used.

Either the postbit_legacy edits were made wrong or perhaps you have a custom style? Custom styles may require different edits- these instructions are only for the default vbulletin style- you may need to make adjustments for custom styles.

Thanks for the quick response! I went through things about 5 times trying to figure it out, and then decided to once again look at legacy after your post and the error was right smack there in front. Unbelievable. Thanks again for the quick response.

viper357

08-24-2011, 06:45 PM

The last steps are only if you want to integrate the Like box INTO the posts like on my forum.

If you do the next step is pretty easy-

In Admin CP -> Plugin Manager, edit the plugin: Post Thank You Hack on hook: postbit_display_start

Find the line:

eval('$template_hook[postbit_end] .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box') . '";');and change it to:

eval('$template_hook[postbit_signature_end] .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box') . '";');OK This will move the "Like" box into the actual post table instead of below it.
Hi Joe, small problem, everything works 100% but as soon as I do the above edit, I get a blank page on any link except for my vbadvanced home page. If I undo the edit it makes no difference until I re-upload the xml file (which I assume then replaces the small plugin), then the forum works again. Any idea's? I'm desperate to have this display within the posts. ;)

BirdOPrey5

08-24-2011, 08:12 PM

This code by definition is only run when viewing threads/posts... If something was causing all your pages to be blank (including forumhome, forumdisplay, etc...) then it wasn't this code. You might have other issues.

What version of vBulletin are you using?

BirdOPrey5

08-25-2011, 04:21 PM

Probably but it's not something I've spent time attempting.

Which postbit style do you use? Have you checked for the existence of the template hook in that template?

Can you try it on the default style and see if you have the same problem?

Well that's really strange, I tested it on the default style and it worked, so went back to my modified style and it was still working, I made no other changes whatsoever, really odd, oh well, it's working now, I don't know how or why, lol. Thanks for the help and for this mod.

Joe, pretty please Joe :p, I noticed on your site that you give your users the option to switch off this hack in their usercp. Would you mind sharing how to do that? Thanks.:)

Glad it's working.

Step 1- Make new user profile field, single selection radio box, options:
No
Yes

Step 2- Edit the postbit_display_complete plugin. Change the 2nd Conditional to:
if (can_thank_this_post($post, $thread['isdeleted']) && !thanked_already($post) && $vbulletin->userinfo['field29'] != "No" && $post['userid'] != 0)

Step 3- Edit the postbit_display_start plugin. Change the 1st Conditional to:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field29'] != "No" && !(defined('LOCATION_BYPASS')) && !(post_thanks_off($this->thread['forumid'], $this->post, $this->thread['firstpostid'], THIS_SCRIPT)))

Change "field29" in each to whatever field number is assigned to your custom profile filed... maybe field5 or field6, depends how many others you already have.

Note: Putting the "No" before the "Yes" and checking for "No" in the code is important so that it's active for everyone EXCEPT those who specifically opt-out of it.

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field29'] != "No" && !(defined('LOCATION_BYPASS')) && !(post_thanks_off($this->thread['forumid'], $this->post, $this->thread['firstpostid'], THIS_SCRIPT)))

Change "field29" in each to whatever field number is assigned to your custom profile filed... maybe field5 or field6, depends how many others you already have.

Note: Putting the "No" before the "Yes" and checking for "No" in the code is important so that it's active for everyone EXCEPT those who specifically opt-out of it.

Anyone know how to get this working under v4.1.5? I made the change to postbit_display_complete as shown above. There is no postbit_display_start in v4 but that line exists in postbit_display_complete so I made that edit there as well. Tested out and regardless of whether my option is set to No or Yes, I can still see the Like system.

Post #35 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2222087&postcount=35) and Post #36 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2222087&postcount=36) help you with the 4.x install instructions and alternate placement. :up:

I skimmed those but since I had it working other than AJAX I did not pay too much attention. Plus, they do not help with the user option to disable the whole system that BoP posted more recently.

However, I did fix my AJAX problem by going back and having a second look. For my site, the design of the Like box is all contained within the template post_thanks_postbit. Therefore the contents of my template post_thanks_box was simply:

{vb:raw post_thanks_box}

Upon taking another look, I changed it to the following which fixed the AJAX issue:

<div id="post_thanks_box_{vb:raw post.postid}">
{vb:raw post_thanks_box}
</div>

So thanks for making take a second look! :)

You can just edit the postbit_display_start and postbit_display_complete plugins... put the code that mentions the template hook inside this conditional:

if ($vbulletin->userinfo['field29'] != "No")
{
//Original Code Here
}

again change "29" to whatever field number yours is.

As for your earlier question about what Paul did- it doesn't matter, the vb.org like system is completely custom and has nothing to do with the mod this article is based on- so nothing Paul did here is relevant.

So I installed this, the Thanks template edits work great, however for Post Groan, the groan templates are still default (dont show in bar)

I have them integrated/connected with Post Thanks in settings

Running VB 3.8 any ideas? Do I have to do any other template edits? I saw the <IF> condition I assumed this was already built in.

(The first post is of course for VB 3.x and not intended to work on 4.x.)Yes, installed 7.7 and went to follow the 4.x steps in post 35/36. I'm getting an error that runs across the top, or takes me to sql error page

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: post_thanks_navbar_search in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4337

I uninstalled it, and then reinstalled but no luck. And when I go to edit the posbit display complete hook, the text the instructions tell to replace is not even listed.

Could someone post what it should look like after each edit? At least then I can maybe pinpoint where it's broken. For me, and on the default VB skin, the first edit on post #35 causes the regular thanks box to become some div that gets pushed behind the forum.

Thanks, probably still seems to lie with the first edit in #35. The thank box code is says to place in there seems to mess up the formatting. I've tried it from a fresh install of 4.1.12 so not sure where the problem is. But making the first two edits causes the formatting to become all jumbled and bleeding into other parts of a post like the message body.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to post their knowledge in this thread. I just got my vB 4.1.12 working with the hacked "Likes" system pretty easily. :)

However, I use this Lightweight style for mobile device users: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=249277

So far, I've added the "Like" button in between the "Edit" and "Reply" on my mobile style, like this:

<vb:if condition="$post['editlink']"><a id="btn" href="{vb:raw post.editlink}">{vb:rawphrase edit}</a></vb:if>


<a id="btn" href="post_thanks.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=post_thanks_add&p={vb:raw post.postid}&securitytoken={vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}">{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_thanks}</a>


<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']"><a id="btn" href="{vb:raw post.replylink}" id="qrwq_{vb:raw post.postid}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase reply}</a></vb:if>

Basically, all I need are the conditionals to wrap around it so it won't show to users who don't have access to the post. I've been trying (without success) to create my own conditionals.

Step 2 is to change the following phrases. In Admin CP use Phrase Manager to "translate" these phrases from "Thank You" to "Like(s)":

Please Explain this step on screen shot for me please

In your Admin CP choose "Phrase Manager" from the side menu, it is under the "Languages & Phrases" group.

If you're noy sure where each phrase is use "Search in Phrases" instead. Put the phrase name in the "Search for Text" box, example: post_thanks_already

Choose the option: Phrase Variable Name Only

click find.

Click to edit the found phrase and on that page there is a box for an English translation (or whatever language you use) - Simply put in that box what you want it to say... So change "Thanks" to "Like"

Save.

Repeat for all phrases listed.

Loving this modification to the post thanks hack!

Working great.

I do have a question for you, if you don't mind pointing me in the right direction?

We use a star to like posts up next to the permalink. I'd like to have this button used as a "multi" button. In that when not liked, it's grayed (not yellow). Once you click "like" it changes to yellow. The text "remove like" would also be removed from the thanks box.

I've been digging around for a while with this conditional and haven't had any luck. Could you point me in the right direction so I could do the research? Much appreciated!

Sorry swapping out images would likely involve editing the Ajax JavaScript and that is not something I am familiar with.

Thank you for the response.

I intend to go about this a different way :)

If possible, please review this:


<a href="post_thanks.php?$session[sessionurl]do=post_thanks_add&p=$post[postid]&securitytoken=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" id="post_thanks_button_$post[postid]"
<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_give($post[postid],
<if condition="$vboptions[post_groan_integrate]">true<else />false</if>);"</if>
<if condition="$display_thanks_image == 'none'">style="display:none"</if> rel="nofollow">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/post_like.png" alt="Like This Post" align="center" border="0" /></a>

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 AND $post['show_thanks_remove_option']"></if>
<if condition="$post['show_thanks_remove_option']">
<a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_user&p=$post[postid]"
<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_remove_user($post[postid],
<if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>);"</if>
<if condition="$display_thanks_image == ''">style="display:none"</if> rel="nofollow">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/post_liked.png" alt="Unlike This Post" align="center" border="0" /></a>
</if>


In testing this out, I've managed to get the images to display correctly to an extent. When you click the image, the image disappears, but the other image doesn't display until you refresh the page. When you refresh the page it looks fine again. Now, if you click "unlike this post", ajax refreshes immediately and you now have two images in the bar next to permalink (like and liked.png respectively) until you refresh the page.

I assume this is what you meant by the ajax function?

Yeah, that would in turn prevent the images from auto-display, which kinda defeats the purpose. :) Thanks anyway. I've got a co-worker that will assist since she writes AJAX in her sleep.

If we come up with a solution I'll be happy to let you know. Maybe someone else out there would be interested.

I've updated to the latest version and would simply like to move the box into the post. On 3.8 you can do this by simply following this step

The last steps are only if you want to integrate the Like box INTO the posts like on my forum.

If you do the next step is pretty easy-

In Admin CP -> Plugin Manager, edit the plugin: Post Thank You Hack on hook: postbit_display_start

Find the line:

eval('$template_hook[postbit_end] .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box') . '";');

and change it to:

eval('$template_hook[postbit_signature_end] .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box') . '";');

OK This will move the "Like" box into the actual post table instead of below it.

Again this is a good place to stop if you are happy.

I've gone through all the things for the 4.x change as seen here
Post #35 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2222087&postcount=35) and Post #36 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2222087&postcount=36) help you with the 4.x install instructions and alternate placement. :up:

}

Add a space after the comma in the quotes and it should do the trick...

There is likely a typo in your postbit_display_start or postbit_display_complete plugin- if you can't find the error you could always reinstall the thank you mod but you will lose all customization.

OK, have this looking great now inside my post box above the signature area.

Does anybody know of how I can force it down to the bottom to reside just above my siggy area? Just doesnt look right located all the way up under the post text, with a big space below between the siggy.

OK,..figured out how to force to bottom of post box right above siggy,.. in postbit legacy template

find
<vb:if condition="$show['postedited'] || $post['signature']">

add above
<div class="after_content">{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_end}</div>

Of course it still shows up just above edit statement if applicable, but I rather have the box on the bottom but above siggy area. This was the easiest way for me.

Have you turned on the template naming in general options in admincp and then looked at the sorce code to see what is being used there?, it could be a <br /> tag or padding...etc in css.

My version is 4.2.0. The Post Thank You Hack version is 7.8.4. I have not changed "Thanks" to "Like", but I've been trying to get the Thanks box to appear inside of the post bodies. I've however only succeeded in getting it to disappear completely. When I reverse my code changes the box reappears but it's of course not within the post bodies. It's back between the posts, since everything has been reverted.

I'd very much appreciate it if someone could tell me where I'm going wrong. Below are the changes I've been making, after which the box just goes away.

I change the contents of post_thanks_box to:

<div <vb:if condition="!$post_thanks_box == 1"> style="background-color: #f2f6f8; border: 1px ridge #417394; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; padding: 2px; width:92%; margin:

0px auto 0px auto; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:0px;display:none" <vb:else />
style="background-color: #f2f6f8; border: 1px ridge #417394; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px; padding: 2px; width:92%; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; -

moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; margin-top:10px; margin-bottom:0px;"
</vb:if> id="post_thanks_box_{vb:raw post.postid}">
{vb:raw post_thanks_box}
</div>

In postbit_display_complete I change this:

$template_hook['postbit_end'] .= $templater->render();

to this:

$template_hook['postbit_messagearea_end'] .= $templater->render();

and in postpit_legacy I change this:

<div class="postbody">
<div class="postrow<vb:if condition="$show['postedited'] || $post['signature']"> has_after_content</vb:if>">
{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_start}
<vb:if condition="$post['title'] OR $show['messageicon']">
<h2 class="title icon">
<vb:if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img src="{vb:raw post.iconpath}" alt="{vb:raw post.icontitle}" /> </vb:if>{vb:raw post.title}
</h2>
</vb:if>

to this:

<div class="postbody">
{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_start}
<div class="postrow<vb:if condition="$show['postedited'] || $post['signature']"> has_after_content</vb:if>">
<vb:if condition="$post['title'] OR $show['messageicon']">
<h2 class="title icon">
<vb:if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img src="{vb:raw post.iconpath}" alt="{vb:raw post.icontitle}" /> </vb:if>{vb:raw post.title}
</h2>
</vb:if>

And there's apparently no postbit_display_start in this version so I can't modify that.

But why am I not able to move the box into the post body? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

It would be very nice if someone could provide an adaptation of the modifications herein to function on version 4.2.0, both for the 'thanks' to 'likes' part and for the migration of the thanks/likes box into the message body part. The code within some of the 4.2.0 templates is apparently different from that in previous releases of version 4.

Edit: As far as changing 'Thanks' to 'Likes', it seems that simply doing the phrase search and replace for each of the named phrases in post #1, in addition to changing post_thanks_thanks from 'Thanks' to 'Like' (for the button label), did the trick for me. I only hope I'm not going to experience any complications without having done anything else. One problem I've already noticed is that the 'Thanks' stats field is now labeled 'Like' as opposed to 'Likes'. But if I change the text in the post_thanks_thanks phrase to 'Likes', then the button label also changes to 'Likes' when it should be 'Like'.

Addendum: I've fixed it. I just created a post_thanks_like phrase containing the text 'Like' and then changed the post_thanks_thanks reference (in the post_thanks_button template) to post_thanks_like. Next, I changed the text in post_thanks_thanks back to 'Likes' and everything now displays correctly.

Possible??

The following members like this post: member1, member2, member3, member4, member5 and 36 others.

and when the "36 others" is clicked, it will expand with ajax..

After much study and trepidation, I partially installed this. I was afraid to go the full monty and kept the phrases as they were, and also did not do the template modifications to postbit_legacy since mine is highly modified as it is and I didn't want to take a chance on messing it up.

I also kept the same thanks buttons, opting to point to those instead of new images for the "like" button.

Installed this way in three of my most used styles - looks great, works great and really cleans up postbit compared to the standard way this was handled in the original "post thanks" Mod.

Thanks BoP5!

I have already done all of this on vB 4.2.0. All "Thanks" phrases changed to "Likes" and the thanks box inside the post at the bottom. It is simple and pretty straight forward.

Thanks in advance.

Lulz, run a quick search in your postbit_legacy for "postbit_messagearea_end". You will see that you have not added this to your postbit_legacy template:
{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_end}
That would be why the box disappears :p

I went the rest of the way - everything except changing the phrases. It's excellent, really classes up the postbit.

Nice Max. Want to share your templates for others? Looks like you done a better job than I did.Thanks but, I just followed Bop5's instructions to the letter, except for changing the phrases.

I was afraid to edit "postbit_legacy" because mine is highly customized, with the collapsible "Additional Info" bar that hides user stats and reputation - stolen from the native vBulletin "forum rules" bit and repurposed... Plus alot of other little tweaks here and there. But saving the entire template in a text file gave me the confidence that I could readily revert any bad changes.

There's a good version of that collapsible feature HERE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=218587) if you want to look it over and maybe try it. I had repurposed the native bit for my use, before finding this one.

However there is one more template edit I did to keep the Like Box inside the post but at the very bottom of it regardless how short the post might be. In this case we must edit the postbit_legacy template.

Find in postbit_legacy:

<td class="alt2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Change it to:

<td class="alt2" rowspan="2" width="175" style="border: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px; border-bottom: 0px">

Find:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

And delete it.

Find:


</if>

</td>
</tr>

Add BELOW it:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom">
$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]
</td>
</tr>

----

And that should do it.I have tried and tried, and I cannot make this part of it work with one of my custom styles. Here is the offending postbit_legacy template:

Well... With about two hours of help from ozzy47... It's clear this cannot be done with my postbit_legacy template. Thank you ozzy for the great effort though.

Per Ozzy47 however - he solved another issue this has with Firefox browser and styles that use border pinstriping for the posts? The edit to postbit_legacy was breaking the border, as in the image below where you see the cursor and in the post above. This break does not appear however in chrome or even IE.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/12/45.jpg

To fix this

Find in postbit_legacy:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom">
$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]
</td>
</tr>

Replace with:

<tr>
<td class="alt1" valign="bottom" style="border-right: $stylevar[cellspacing]px solid $stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]; border-top: 0px">
$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]
</td>
</tr>

Kudos and much thanks to ozzy47 for fixing this.

Hi, I have a fairly vanilla (no real hacks/mods installed right now) install of vB 4.2.2 PL1. It uses default / official styles. We have never had a likes / thanks system installed.

I want to end up with a Like system (not thanks), that works with Tapatalk. It looks like this hack in this thread, is the way to go, but I was hoping for a bit more guidance from someone familiar with this variant?

The OP links to the latest version of the "Post Thanks" mod, but it's the one for vB 3.x.

There is a 4.x version, here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231666
But in that OP they note it's not current for the latest version of vB 4.x.

So they link to these two posts, which have unofficial versions of the Post Thanks mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2264681&postcount=1941
and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2249550#post2249550

I want to try and keep this as simple as possible. When we were vB 3.x we were using custom / premium Styles, along with lots of mods and hacks, and our code became very spaghetti and was absolute hell to try and keep up to date when vB updated, and trace problems, etc.

What is the best package to install, for this mod, for Post thanks, for vB 4.2.2? Simplest/easiest? Is there a master list of instructions for current vB version anywhere?

I appreciate any assistance in advance.

Has anyone had success at getting this show on the "postbit" template using FF?
Shows without issue on postbit_legacy using FF.

I have tried a few changes without luck.
Would you mind sharing what you did to get this to show on postbit using FF.

I would but it took a while to make and I'm wanting to keep it just on my forum. I could maybe make something similar and share that?....

How come there are "Likes" on this forum, but I don't see a "like" button?

Duh! Thanks tbworld. I totally overlooked that area.

On the right of the screen on every post there is a heart in the message header. Click the heart icon. :)

Has anyone been able to integrate this hack with vB's notification system? So for example, every time a user receives a "thanks" or "thumbs up" they'd receive a notification just like they would if they received, say, a VM? If so, how was this accomplished?

OK, maybe I am a little late in this, but I've installed it, like it but I can't make the box move inside the post area, no matter what I tried.

I can make it move inside but:

- If I put it below the signature, then all the buttons at the bottom of the post get mangled.
- If I put it above the signature, the signature doesn't show and the buttons get mangled again.
- If I put it above the post, everything disappears, and the buttons get screwed up again.

I am using vB 4.2.2 and the postbit (not postbit_legacy) template.

Ideas?

OK, I've managed to solve the issue I had with this hack, or at least, I've managed to move the statistics box inside the postbit area, below the signature. The offending part, was the post_thanks_box template. As it was, when I installed the hack, it looked like this:

<li class="postbit<vb:if condition="$vboptions['legacypostbit']">legacy</vb:if> postbitim" id="post_thanks_box_{vb:raw post.postid}"<vb:if condition="!$post_thanks_box == 1"> style="display:none"</vb:if>>
{vb:raw post_thanks_box}
</li>

I changed the li and /li to div and the problem of screwing up the buttons at the end of the post disappeared. So, here is what you have to do, to move the info box inside postbit.

1. Change your post_thanks_box template, to:

<div class="postbit<vb:if condition="$vboptions['legacypostbit']">legacy</vb:if> postbitim" id="post_thanks_box_{vb:raw post.postid}"<vb:if condition="!$post_thanks_box == 1"> style="display:none"</vb:if>>
{vb:raw post_thanks_box}
</div>

2. Change the plugin postbit_display_complete in the Plugins manager to:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_post_thanks.php');

if (!(defined('LOCATION_BYPASS')) && !(post_thanks_off($this->thread['forumid'], $this->post, $this->thread['firstpostid'], THIS_SCRIPT)))
{
global $ids;

$thanks = fetch_thanks($this->post['postid'], $ids);

if (thanked_already($this->post) && $this->registry->options[post_thanks_delete_own])
{
$this->post['show_thanks_remove_option'] = true;
}

if ($this->post['post_thanks_amount'] > 0 && $this->thread['isdeleted'] == 0)
{
$this->post['post_thanks_bit'] = fetch_thanks_bit($this->thread['forumid'], $thanks);
$this->post['post_thanks_user'] = $post_thanks_user;
$this->post['post_thanks_amount_formatted'] = vb_number_format($this->post['post_thanks_amount']);

$post_thanks_box = fetch_post_thanks_template($this->post);
}

$templater = vB_Template::create('post_thanks_box');
$templater->register('post', $post);
$templater->register('post_thanks_box', $post_thanks_box);
$template_hook['postbit_signature_end'] .= $templater->render();
}

if ($this->registry->userinfo['userid'] != 0 && !(defined('LOCATION_BYPASS')) && !(post_thanks_off($thread['forumid'], $post, $thread['firstpostid'], THIS_SCRIPT)))
{
$display_thanks_image = 'none';

if (can_thank_this_post($post, $thread['isdeleted']) && !thanked_already($post))
{
$display_thanks_image = '';
}

$templater = vB_Template::create('post_thanks_button');
$templater->register('post', $post);
$templater->register('display_thanks_image', $display_thanks_image);
$template_hook['postbit_controls'] .= $templater->render();
}

if ($this->registry->options['post_thanks_show_stats_postbit'])
{
$post['post_thanks_user_amount_formatted'] = vb_number_format($post['post_thanks_user_amount']);
$post['post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted'] = vb_number_format($post['post_thanks_thanked_times']);
$post['post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted'] = vb_number_format($post['post_thanks_thanked_posts']);

$templater = vB_Template::create('post_thanks_postbit_info');
$templater->register('post', $post);
$template_hook['postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts'] .= $templater->render();
}

3. You may try using the post_thanks_postbit, the way I changed it, to better fit the postbit template:

<div style="background-color: #E1E4F3; border: 2px ridge #7BBA99; ; border-width: 2px 2px 2px 2px; padding: 2px; width:100%; margin: 0px auto 0px auto; margin-top:auto; margin-bottom:0px;">

<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100">
<strong><b>Likes ($post[post_thanks_amount_formatted]) :</b></strong><br />

</td><td>
<div style="float:left;">$post[post_thanks_bit]</div> <div style="float:right;"><if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6"><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_all&p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_remove_all($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>);"</if> rel="nofollow">Delete All</a></if><if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 AND $post['show_thanks_remove_option']"> | </if><if condition="$post['show_thanks_remove_option']"><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_user&p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions['disable_ajax'] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_remove_user($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>);"</if> rel="nofollow">Unlike</a></if></div>
</td></tr></table>

</div>
<br />

I also cleaned up a little the way the "Likes" information is displayed in the user profile. While it is not the perfect way to do it (I should have created more phrases etc), again, as it is, it serves me fine, so I am posting it here.

<h5 class="subsubsectionhead">{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_total_thanks}</h5>
<dl class="stats">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_total_thanks} given</dt>
<dd>{vb:raw userinfo.post_thanks_user_amount_formatted} -- <a href="post_thanks.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=findthanks_user_gave&u={vb:r aw userinfo.userid}">{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_search_user_gave, {vb:raw userinfo.username}}</a></dd>
</dl>
<dl class="stats">
<dt>{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_total_thanks} received</dt>
<dd><vb:if condition="$userinfo[post_thanks_thanked_times] == 1">
{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_time_post}
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$userinfo[post_thanks_thanked_posts] == 1">
{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_post, {vb:raw userinfo.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}}
<vb:else />
{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_posts, {vb:raw userinfo.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}, {vb:raw userinfo.post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted}}
</vb:if>
</vb:if> -- <a href="post_thanks.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=findthanks&u={vb:raw userinfo.userid}">{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_search_user, {vb:raw userinfo.username}}</a></dd>
</dl>

My patch is not perfect, as it still screws up the signature, if you attempt to put the box above it, but it works when the box is under the signature and I am happy with it.

I hope this helps some people here.

Using the hack from post #35, I'm having a few issues:
1) I click like, then "remove this like", and the page refreshes saying:
"user, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"
2) Also getting a weird box (I think for the collapse, but that is turned off and it still shows). What's the best way to fix that?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sk6hcn8789ycru0/Screenshot%202015-11-30%2020.58.45.png?dl=0
3) When I click "thanks" on a post with other thanks, and then remove my thanks, it collapses the box with other likes so I can't see them until I refresh the page.

Any help resolving this would be appreciated.
Thanks.
