I was really interested in using this mod, but I don't feel comfortable having a directory with PHP files in it that is CHMODed to 777. This smells of a security hole as anyone can modify those PHP files to display sensitive information. Is there a specific reason for vbactivity_type to be wide open?

Yeah, the fact that when you add a new button, it needs to write a new file to that directory to be compatible with vBActivity :)

Thank you for all of your efforts. This seems like a great product.


I am also concerned about security. My site was recently exploited through the Post Thank You plugin by Abe1. A shell script was inserted into the ajax_complete.php.

I'm honestly not fluent enough to ask the right questions here, but have you had any experience with this product being similarly exploited? I'd really love to have a Thanks option again (members of my forum are begging for it) but not if it's going to leave me vulnerable to attack.

Thank you!

There have been no reports of this mod being the source of any exploits.

Keep in mind that a directory being 777 doesn't mean anyone can inject scripts into it from any server - the attacker needs some form of access to your server via other means (either an Admin account with Can Admin Plugins) or another account on the server.

That still doesn't mean anyone else on a shared server can hack your site - there's still open_basedir restrictions which any shared host worth their salt would have enabled.

Dear Fillip is there a possibility to add option to hide posts that have specific number of dislikes?

That's a Pro only feature: "Ability to auto-collapse posts using provided formula or input for your own using your custom buttons" :)


Fillip

This is still happening, or at least it was on my own site until I removed the edit to /vb/legacy/post.php as stated by Sidewindr.

Is this going to be fixed?

Were do I edit?
{vb:raw stat}

Need to edit the code whatever is being pulled through this variable.

That variable is defined in /dbtech/thanks/hooks/postbit_display_complete.php

Hello Dragon Byte,

I installed your plugin ... It looks good but I do not know how to thank or like someone ... how can I do this??

Greetings:

http://www.hyperlinkbuilding.org/thr...-Compte-Newbie

Currently your website is down: https://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/

How long will it itake to bring it back to life??

You need to enable Super Administrator permissions for your account so you can see the DBTech - Post Thanks admincp menu group, then Button Management, then edit each button and tick the usergroups you want to be able to click the buttons under the "Can Click" column :)


Fillip

I need to set the hack but I buttons appear to give thanks and I like

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Can you clarify, please?

Fillip

Hi, i have done that, but still cannot see any "like/Dislike Buttons.. all the other stuff works, i can see the stats etc but no button..

Edit, also where do i put this code to show next to edit post? {vb:raw thanks_postbit}

Many thanks

You can put that code anywhere in your postbit_legacy template :)


Fillip

I have version 4.1.6, and this is working great so far! Thanks DBTech!
I also have the DBTech Shoutbox and it's awesome as well!

Can people remove a like/thanks/dislike in the lite version?

Also is it possible to remove the line under every post that says "Post Thanks / Like - 0 Likes"? Or at least edit it so that it only says like because I am not using the thanks button

Yes, simply disable the other buttons (Active to No) in the Button Management screen :)


Fillip

thanks a lot, l works on vb 4.2.0

I searched on the latest pages and i didn't find if you have discussed any way to enable that mod in tapatalk.

I've found on tapatalk forum that it supports another "Thank you" mod.

Does it support this mod too ?

I believe so, but I'm not sure.

Fillip

What is the variable that indicates the number of thanks received from a user?

Oh sorry you misunderstood my question. I already have disabled dislike and thanks button.

But even with only like button enabled, under every post it looks like: http://i49.tinypic.com/28c3ndh.png

Is there a template to edit so the text only say's "post like"? The "thanks/" gets removed from it. Or to even remove that whole block if it won't ruin the mod.

You also did not answer my question about removing a like. Is it possible?

I would like to know what changes you did to the template to make it part of the post (dbtech_thanks_postbit_entries I assume?).

That's part of the branding of the mod, so no :)

As per the first post, un-clicking a button is a Pro-only feature.


Fillip

What is the variable that indicates the number of thanks received from a user?

There is no such variable, the stats are all collected into 1 template.

Fillip

I was actually quite interested in this mod until I read the following:
One link is completely understandable but 3 is ridiculous, sorry.

Are these links removable in the Pro Version?

The Hivelocity link does not appear in the Pro version, and can be turned off via the vBOptions for this mod in the Lite version.

The other two links (which are all on the same line and has rel="nofollow" on them) require a separate Branding Free licence, and can be applied to either Lite or Pro.

I want to add in the postbit the number of likes received for each user.
How can I do?

The answer you quoted is the answer to your question :)


Fillip

Thank you a lot, it's working now.

Best regards

L.R.

What is the link to see this template in action?

Hello,

I followed the importer instructions but when I go to admincp/thanksimport.php I get

Post Thank You Hack 7.4 was installed on 3.8.2 and then the forum was upgraded to 4.1.x and running the importer does that but gives no other information.

Please assist :)

want to read a user's post I get this I disable that option thanks

This post requires you to click the Likes button to read this content

You can see the postbit stats for this mod on our forum :)

Please post the database error email that got emailed to your "technicalemail" email address as defined in config.php. I cannot assist without this information.

That being said, I believe I originally tested this mod with v7.7 of Abe's Post Thank You Hack. You may wish to try to update that mod to the latest version before attempting an import.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.

The message you received means that the user ticked the "Require Like to see post content" box and you must click "Like this post" to see the post.


Fillip

Is there a way to display in postbit the number of thanks received?

You can turn off all the other postbit stats (thanks given, likes received, likes given, dislikes given, dislikes received) so you're left with only thanks received.
