Or, if you don't need to change the font, just edit the phrase to make it shorter, e.g., "Thanks for this post from" or "Thanks from".

$vbphrase[post_thanks_user_says]

Actually, there are two, one for a single thank you and one for multiple thank you's:

• post_thanks_user_says
• post_thanks_users_say

Ypu'll probably want to edit both of them to ensure consistency.

No doubt it's in the eye of the beholder, but even one character in that line takes up as much vertical space on the display as the entire phrase.

However, making the font smaller makes a big difference in the amount of vertical space being used.

I didn't read all posts so I'll just let you know this hack is causing an error on thread inline moderation, see here.

thanks

Don't post just to say "thanks"... click the frickin' button! :D

Recently did an upgrade from 3.8.4 to 4.0.2 - and do you know what the biggest concern was to my community? WHERE IS THE THANKS BUTTON! HA!

So, the only issue I have? I came here too late to see you post that we shouldn't UNINSTALL when upgrading and only disable - well TOO LATE.

So my question - I still have access to the old database - and the forums - is there a way for me to grab the data from the old thanks numbers and import them to the new?

Probably whistling dixie, I know.

I got database error any one can help ?

Same error here! Any solution^

any one have ? any sol please ?

one question. where can i edit the font size of the "...say thank you" sentence?

Installed and works fine, thanks!

Without any MySQL issues? :)

Does anyone know how to edit the plugin so that the:

"The following user has..." part of the thanks appears to the LEFT of the User(s) who did the thanking as opposed to ABOVE it (looks kind of sloppy when the rest of the forum has user info to the left of the messages)

Cheers

Where I can find it sorry?

edit

solved Thanks

This is a fantastic mods, thanks again.

I have an error.
Can you tell me for fix it?
Thanks you!

Very nice :)
Installed! Thank you

please. can you tell me where i can make the "font size" smaller of the info who gave a thanks?

Your post is post #572 in this thread ... take a look at post #560.

create table 'search' to solve problems

Get exactly the same error also if I disable this plugin for guest and unregistered users, the forum don't load.

Running VBulletin 4.02.

Okay I figured out what the problem was, the old post_thanks.php (from a previous version) could not be overwritten by the new one!

Worked fine till now, thanks again!:up::up::up:

Is there any chance to add hide hack?

When I click the Thanks button I get this message:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #2 is not an array in [path]/post_thanks.php on line 57

Any advice on what to do?

but we need also some atributes!

My post_thanks.php was overwritten but I get MySQL issues, too.

Does this:
resolve the issues?

Abe, is there a way of reducing the height that thanks box displays underneath the post, as it is considerably larger than the 3.8 version?

Thanks for a great product, and the great support at getting it up and running for vB4.

Same error here!

This is really putting me off. I've tried everything I can think of and still no go..

Must be someone that knows how to fix this?

Any help is much appreciated :)

Doh, I'm such an arse..:erm:

No wonder I get the error message, I'm trying to thank a guest poster and obviously I can't thank someone that doesn't exist..

Actually, with the right drugs you can... but nobody else would be able to see it. :)

It would be pretty neat to be able to hide the Thanks button on guest posts. Any idea on how to do that?

It should just be a matter of a vb conditional (you can learn about that at vbulletin.com). I don't allow Guest posts but if you used something like this

it should work.

Play with it...

I've been playing around with it for a while now, and it removed the button from the guest posts, but unfortunately it removes it from the registered ones as well. I've checked the usergroup id's and they match yours.

Sorry. Try this instead:

The "!" in the first code block in my previous post says "if NOT in array" which is the opposite of what you want (I think - it's Fried-day after a long week and I am truly fried).

Thanks a lot. Seems to be working fine :)
