- - How to turn the "Post Thank You" hack into a "Likes" system similar to vBulletin.org (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=266358)

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.:)

Glad it's working.

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.

Thanks Joe, much appreciated. :)

Great tutorial. I was able to follow it all the way through for both the LIKE and DISLIKE buttons.

Nice job Joe!

Wasn't the standard, "you've liked this guy's posts too much" message :)

FYI to all- Paul has reported the bug preventing the "Liking" of articles here on vb.org is fixed. :up:

Any idea what Paul did to fix this error? I have a few users randomly reporting the same on my forum. (using v4.1.5)

If you select the option to work with reputation points you can.

Probably right in front of me but I am not seeing it. Where do you set this up to work with reputation points?

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.

Post #35 and Post #36 help you with the 4.x install instructions and alternate placement. :up:

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! :)

You can just edit the postbit_display_start and postbit_display_complete plugins... put the code that mentions the template hook inside this conditional:

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.

Hope you will release this article for vB4 soon :)
