Yes Bouncer.

In the forums and moderators.

Click a forum.

At very bottom, there is a tick box. Allow Helpful Answers

I am just using the default options of this product and using the default vB4 style.

I think someone else reported the same issue early on. But anyway, it starts off ok but then as you'll see by the screenshots, each post adds another Helpful line.

Thanks.

It is possible to activate this mod for each forum via sql-query?

This mod is built to work per-forum only.

What other modifications are you using? What are you settings for this modification?

1. Disable the reporting option via your admin.

2. Not sure what the arrows are intended to show. If there's no title for the post it just shows the ID.

HEllo,

when i use helpfulanswers.php i become an SQL error

Version 2.1.7 has been released.

This is a very minor bug fix release which addresses an issue where some users get an SQL error viewing helpfulanswers.php

To update just upload the file upload/helpfulanswers.php

Users not showing this error do not need to upgrade.

Thanks Ted, its working fine

Hiya, Just installed this today, looks like the answer to my wish list! But I can't get it to work.....I've followed the install instructions, enabled the 10 point ranking on the forum. Under the post i have the clickable 1 to 10 scale, but when selecting a rating I get the following error message, "Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_administer() in ......(path) to helpfulanswers.php on line 28" Do you know what I've done wrong? Thanks for your help!

Oops, I'd mixed up my .php files on the upload! But now I have a different problem, and this time I think I have uploaded the correct files! Now when a post is rated I get the following: "This post has been ranked $post[avgrank] out of 10 with $post[totalrank] votes" Can anyone advise why I'm not getting the ranking data displayed?

I wanted to follow up with a couple of bug reports:

1) In template "helpful_answers_top", replace:

With:


2) Find:

Add after:


3) Suggestion: I think the pagenav at the bottom of the same template above looks a bit better with spacing around it. Maybe replace with this:


4) I also noticed that all sorting works perfectly on helpfulanswers.php EXCEPT the Average Rating column, which is incorrect in either ascending or descending order.

Thanks! All of these will be addressed in the next bug fix.

I am using the default settings for this mod.

I sent 10 bucks your way, good job on this, installing now, I'll donate more in later updates =)

Quick question, the default Thumbs Up image has a size of 11 x 20 pixels, where do I change this? I replaced the graphic with a custom larger one, but it looks squished to 11 pixels.

Possible bug: When I give myself a thumbs up (after allowing this in the settings), I get:

%1$s members found this post helpful

edit: I'm not sure what's wrong but it seems it's not saving my choice on the Rating Display (Select how the rating options should be shown.)

I choose images and it only shows the "Yes" text... this seems to modify whether the bug of %1$s shows or not. In some options it works as intended.

edit again: On further review, the problems seem to originate when I change the "Allow negative responses" setting to "No".

AdminCP / Plugins & Products / Helpful Answers / postbit_display_complete

The images/sizes are hard-coded in there. Hopefully that will be more customizable in a later release.

Thanks!

I'd have never thought to look in there, thanks so much! =)

great, thanks

Just confirming it seems to work ok in 4.02, nothing has broken for me yet

4.0.2 is a minor release which rarely impacts addons.

It is not compatible with vb 4.0.2?!
My button in the posts is no longer there

o sry my Mistake.. i forget manual template edit:rolleyes:

It works fine

I'm finding this really confusing. It's a great idea but I am not having much luck with it so far.

The first thing is this 2.1.7 version says it's for vb4 but it also says to include "$helpful_answers" into the postbit template. $helpful_answers just shows as $helpful_answers - no substitution happens. Is that the right code? It looks 3.x style rather than 4.

I'm not sure where you saw that instruction as that;s from the vb 3.8 version of the mod. You don't need to add anything to your templates unless you want to move this around -- the addon will automatically place everything right into the post once you enable it in a forum.

Would be cool if you could replace the text bit in the post and just display it like:

3 (thump up icon) 6 (thumb down icon)

That would be what I'm looking for.

It's a template, you can make it look just about however you want.

I'll install it later then and try to edit this part. Do you know the exact template name? I'm new to vB so I'm still getting used to all of this stuff. :P

helpful_answers

How do you edit the template?

I am able to see the "Did you find this post helpful? Yes | No" but then when I click on either yes or no I get sent to an error page (incorrect url).

I guess it has something to do with the update? Any help would be appreciated.

How is the url incorrect (look at the path to see if it's in the wrong folder or something)?

You can edit the template helpful_answers or helpful_answers_roll

Yah I put it in the wrong folder. :) Great mod marked installed and nominated!

Sorry to raise this again, but no reply in 8 days? Can anyone advise please? I've followed the install instructions, enabled the 10 point ranking on the forum. Under the post i have the clickable 1 to 10 scale, but when selecting a rating I get the following error message, "Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_administer() in ......(path) to helpfulanswers.php on line 28" Do you know what I've done wrong? Thanks for your help!

1. To which 3rd party site will stats be reported too? I would like to overview these stats too as site owner.

2. The ratings are not showing up in the threads and I already set all the permissions and stuff. Help!

No one else has reported this error so I'm wondering if you have some sort of conflict. Are you running this on 4.01/ 4.02 or do you have an older version?

The optional reporting tool sends voting data (just sitename + vote) back to this mod for global stats. These are not published or shared in any detail but are simply used to report on the success and impact of this mod in this thread. This feature can be turned off at any time.

You have a much more robust analytics tool included with this mod in your admincp.

Be sure you are using auto template placement and have enabled this in the forum you are viewing.

How to enable it for the forum I am viewing?

Individually through the forum manager or in bulk with the helpful answers bulk editor tool.

There isnt installation instruction. There is just a file to upload and an upload folder.

Which of the xml im support to upload? And what about the upload folder, should be it FTP it manually?
