Strange. I'll have to add it to the to test list. It did work when I tried it initially.

That's fine. I really shouldn't even have versions in their as I don't change them for minor updates (sometimes the code changed is quicker than finding all the version numbers).

@GriZzm0 Thanks. (wanted to RT one of the lines but couldn't pick one...)

I'll be sure to look at that bug before 1.4.3

Not a bad dream if I do say so myself. :D

A few comments to you because you should understand what you want, it helps in getting it.


Let reader answer the question. Not difficult to do, heck you could extend this mod to do it fairly easily... Right now I have a column for goodvotes, totalvotes with each post. All you'd need to do is change the rating from 1 point for each to 10 possible. Change the script to record the number value and change the votes table to hold the individual score. Divide the goodscore by the totalvotes and you get an average.

It's not as insane is it sounds.

Add quick search in thread tool to sort posts. Unfortunately there's no hooks in the queries so that means code edits. Users hate code edits so coders hate making hacks with them.

sort members according to their sum of score. Not simple code but not that difficult either. The main issue here is the overhead as you try to break things out (i.e. top user with threads in a category).

Rating moderation by staff members. I'm a huge fan of this myself but haven't figured out a good way to do it in forums. With review scripts (i.e. product reviews) you can do "staff review" but for a post you'd either have to have comments on the post (which doesn't make a ton of sense when the user can just post back) or denote that a staff member ranked it on a star scale.

I wanted to make the post order hack but the code edits stopped that. But I am up for diving into the first and the last feature requests if there's more interest.

Your code is right but there's no need to change the product file. What you are editing is in a template and you can customize that template however you like... Customizations aren't just allowed, they're encouraged (seriously).

Cheers Ted.

Ste :up:

Ok have looked in templates: not getting very far, as the page is propogated by:

<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_post]</td>
<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_good]</td>
<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[helpfulanswer_total]</td>

Not sure on where in the postlink we can add target="_blank"

Wrong template. You need the bit one, that's the header row that shows the column titles.

Based on comments from a few members (and mainly biocyberman) I've added a second rating option to the script. This option allows for posts to be voted on from 1 to 10 rather than just being marked as "helpful or not helpful".

The ten point scale is an optional feature which is enabled globally (either you use one or the other). There are a few features that won't work with the ten point scale including the profile stats, the no negative option and others. However there are also some new features with the ten point scale.

I encourage you to try this out on a test site (or your live site if you're looking to switch over) and give me your feedback.

To remove all previous votes (required if changing methods) run the queries:
If you use table prefixes be sure to include that as well.

Note: This is in beta and while it works fine on my system I'm leaving 1.4.2 as the official version until I get some feedback on how this works.

Second Note: To get this done I used numbers (1 2 3 4 5....) for rankings rather than stars. I will be looking into adding a simple star image in the future and encourage suggestions on that image.

Changes in 1.5.0
- (Feature) Addition of ten-point rating scale (optional)
- (Feature) Addition of profile stats for ten-point rating scale
- (Feature) Modified display of top ratings page for ten-point ratings
- (Bug) Rating's still show up in showpost template after user has voted
- (Bug) Individual user can't be banned
