< must be the thickest fella on the planet.

Where can our users see the list of feedback Ted ?

Perhaps I have missed something , vitally obvious.

Ste

Oh! Now I get your question... Wow my bad on that one big time!

www.yoursite.com/helpfulanswers.php

The list is an admin option so be sure it's properly setup or you'll get an error.

Thanks Ted !!!! :)

Please could you give me the relevant code in <dd><a href="helpfulanswers.php">Helpful Answers</a></dd> so that when a link is clicked it opens in target="_blank" please

Ste

You already have the code... target="_blank" is what you need to add to the link (i.e. <a href="X" target="_blank">

Is there any way to enable this for only certain forums, or even better, only certain threads? (Long shot I know...we are looking for a 'post voting' system for our competition threads, and the basics of what this does is the closest we can find).

Thanks :)

Certain threads, not by default but you could customize it very easily to do so.

I have just installed 1.4.2 version.

Have a few questions:

1. Is "Ban User from Getting Thanks" a working feature? I could't make it work, userid still can get Thanks!

2. In the file headers I see old version labels, is zip file updated correctly? These are from 1.4.2 zip file:

// Hepful Answers AJAX Code -- Version 1.3.0
|| # Helpful Answers Rating Script version 1.4.0
|| # Helpful Answers Admin Script version 1.4.0

Thanks in advance!

Cross purposes again.

I said WITHIN that php file.

Not to that php file.

So each itemised thread that has received pos/neg feedback listed chronologically. Should open in a new window, because it opens to self at the moment.

As its your mod, i dont wish to open up the code and re do it, without permission.

I am presuming its something very simple within the prodcut xml

such as:

Code:

<if condition="$show['rate_helpfulanswer']">

                                        <strong>$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_didyoufind] <a href="./helpfulanswers.php?postid=$post[postid]&rank=1">$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_yesidid]</a></strong>

                                </if>

changed to

Code:

<if condition="$show['rate_helpfulanswer']">

                                        <strong>$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_didyoufind] <a href="./helpfulanswers.php?postid=$post[postid]&rank=1" target="_blank">$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_yesidid]</a></strong>

                                </if>

A user is asked what posts they like or dislike showing an aggregate rating of how many people found it helpful.

It sounds like the issue isn't about satisfactory rating options but rather about a mismatch in what you're looking to do and what this is intended to do.

While I would love to accommodate and build this option in so both were possible what you're looking for is simply a different addon. Not that I don't like the idea but simply that merging the two systems together would basically mean adding a lot of bad overhead to each that just isn't needed.

Gutting this hack and putting in just a star or 10 point system would seem a lot more logical to me to get your intended functionality.

Thanks for your time and your discussion, Ted_S.
Yes you are right. I am looking for a different rating system, which I think hasn't been made yet.
I have been searching and trying several Mods to satisfy following feature but haven't got one:

Let reader answer the question: "How helpful do you think of this post?" by giving more informative and qualitative answer rather than "yes" or "no".
Add quick search in thread tool to sort posts in a thread according to their sum of score. Add link in member search or forum-wide search to sort members according to their sum of score got in whole forums or a specific forum.
Rating moderation by staff members

That's is my dream. The mod actually does above features will do some thing. There will be no need for "post thank you hack", "post groan hack", "post rating system hack", and your
"Helpful answer" hack (sorry). And I am sure a lot of vb forums are using one of these hacks. So a more complete handling would be to have conversion tools for forums using those hack into this "unified" post rating system :) Upon score from this system, member prestige is more rational.
Nonetheless your mod is the closest one to have potential to fulfill mentioned features.

@ The one who said the "Add Product" page never stopped loading.
I had the same problem. Our MySQL user didn't have the alter privilege which caused this to happen.

@ Modification author.
Great product, thanks. ;)

Found a small error tho. On the showpost.php page you see the "Did you find this post helpful? Yes | No" text even tho you've already clicked on one of those before. This does not happen on the showthread.php page.
