Version 1.5.1 has been released.

This is a minor fix that adds a redundancy check to insure votes on the ten point scale option are not over 10 points.

This update also removes an extra > character in the options area.

Upgrading is optional.

Hi Ted :)

We've been discussing this your mod at my forum today, and one member asked if the cell under the post with the most votes could change color to help distinguish it from other posts in the thread.

I know this was mentioned last week and was wondering what would be involved in enabling a feature like that?

Version 1.5.2 has been released to fix a small bug with the profile stats tool. This bug only impacted users with the ten-scale ratings feature enabled and an upgrade is not required if you did not use this feature.

To upgrade install the new plugin file. No changes were made to any of the other files.

Mike,

You can do this in two steps.

First go to your Helpful Answers System Settings and enable the top answer feature. This will give you acces to the top post via the variable $threadinfo[toppost]. But note, this will also add a query when a post is loaded.

Next you'll need to edit the template postbit or postbit_legacy to make use of this variable.

Depending on how you want the cell to look you'll want to modify the code appropriately.

HI, if i try to use $helpful_answers (enabling Manual Template Placement) it simply doesn't work!
can you help me?
thanks!

Where are you trying to place the variable?

after <!-- / controls -->
(inside the postbit_legacy!)
i have to do the manual placement because i have also the post thank you hack, and in the image you can see what happens if they work together with the automatic placement:

(grazie = thanks)

alternatively, is there a way to move the automatic placement AFTER the thank you button?

ok, i guess i'm just too dumb

all installed fine, followed instructions, its all there in admin.

just not there client side.....

I was thinking of the thread rating system. nevermind.

Don't be so hard on yourself!

Are you sure you've enabled it in the forum you're viewing?
