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.

I suggest reverting back to the original Post Thank You Hack (re-install if you must and revert the templates) and see if AJAX is working before these edits are made.

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.

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

The Likes box is centered under the post. How can I make it aligned left with the post and signature?

Also, I can clearly see where to change the width of the box, colors, etc, but where do I change the font and size of the text within the box?

Change post_thanks_box template to:

PHP Code:


		
			
<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 posbit_legacy template find:

PHP Code:


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

and add before:

PHP Code:


		
			
{vb:raw template_hook.postbit_messagearea_end}

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

Find:

PHP Code:


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

and replace with:

PHP Code:


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

You can also modify window's content:

In post_thanks_postbit template replace:

PHP Code:


		
			
    <h2 class="<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['legacypostbit']">post</vb:if>title">
        <vb:if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] == 1">
            {vb:rawphrase post_thanks_user_says, {vb:raw post.username}}
        <vb:else />
            {vb:rawphrase post_thanks_users_say, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_amount_formatted}, {vb:raw post.username}}
        </vb:if>
    </h2>
    <div class="content">
        <div id="post_thanks_bit_{vb:raw post.postid}">
            <blockquote class="postcontent restore">
                {vb:raw post.post_thanks_bit}
            </blockquote>
        </div>
    </div>

with:

PHP Code:


		
			
    <div class="content">
        <div id="post_thanks_bit_{vb:raw post.postid}">
            <blockquote class="postcontent restore">
                <strong><vb:if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] == 1">
            {vb:rawphrase post_thanks_user_says, {vb:raw post.username}}
        <vb:else />
            {vb:rawphrase post_thanks_users_say, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_amount_formatted}, {vb:raw post.username}}
        </vb:if>
 </strong>{vb:raw post.post_thanks_bit}
            </blockquote>
        </div>
    </div>

This tutorial is exellent, but I've found that I can't change the background color or size of the post thanks box, no matter where I change the code. Has anybody else been able to make changes to the post thanks display?

Thank you Michal, but the plugin edit you provided seems to have stopped working with vbulletin 4.1.5, I can't get the edit to funcion.

Edit: it still works great, I had overlooked one of the template edits.

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.

The "dislike" was the "Post Groan Hack" with the "Groan" changed to "dislike" pretty much exactly the same thing as changing "thanks" to "like."

Dear michal72 ,

How can i remove the small space at the bottom of the likebox ?

Like this image :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1309952895

This image haven't any bottom margin .

Edit : I solve the problem . i just change .postrow in postbit.css and remove paddings ;)

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:

Code:

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

and change it to:

Code:

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?

viper357

08-25-2011 05:07 AM

My apologies, I should have said when trying to view any thread then I get a blank page. I'm on 3.8.5

--------------- Added [DATE]1314263167[/DATE] at [TIME]1314263167[/TIME] ---------------

Is there a way to manually edit the postbit legacy template and add the code for the thanks box, instead of using a plugin?

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?

viper357

08-26-2011 05:58 AM

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.:)

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:

Code:

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:

Code:

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.

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:

PHP Code:


		
			
{vb:raw post_thanks_box}

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

PHP Code:


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

{vb:raw post_thanks_box}

</div>

So thanks for making take a second look! :)

PHP Code:


		
			
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.

BirdOPrey5

09-22-2011 09:53 AM

Yo have to do basically the same edits you did for Thanks on the Groan's hack now.
