[AJAX] Post Thank You Hack

vB 4.0 version of this hack here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231666

Post Thank You Hack 7.7

About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

No new features for <3.7

3.7 users will get the updated Profile.

BUT, if you install this version now, when you upgrade to vb3.7, you wont have to update this hack.

Thanks.. Do you think you can update the Post Groan, Can't Thank and Groan the Same Post, & Admin Log In As User from 3.6 to 3.7?? Or will those already work?

Thanks a lot, I was waiting for this. I was using the older version on my 3.7 and it worked fine, just so you know.

EDIT: In the member.php, Im not getting the text "Total Thanks" Im just getting a small box for a tab.

Will you add Vbulletin Blog support?

Hopefully. I'm working on it.

I was wondering if there's a way to make the thankyou box only appear after say 2 or 3 separate people have thanked the post? I'm wanting to use the hack to highlight the outstanding posts on my forum, and a couple of people seem the be very thankful for all sorts of things. I'd like it so that if the thank you box doesn't show until multiple people have said thanks for it.

thanks lol (hope you got it)

thanks updated its a wonderful hack !!!

Version 7.0 (12/20/06)

Today 20 Dec 2007 or 2006? :)
Thanks for this hack Abe

Quick question - how can I remove the "number of thanks a user has given" figure from the postbit userbar? I tried various template edits, but couldn't get it to disappear.

Nice share, although thankyou button always amazed me by its poor design.

You can remove it from the template.

Thanks for the update :)

Is there a way I can limit the hack so that people can only thank just a few times a day and no more than that?

Please I need this. I'll pay you if you help me.

Many thanks for the release! :)

Also a bump for this issue. I also reported this already before :)
It throws up an error in the Firefox error console for each showthread page.

Just thinking why? that last one is working fine on v3.6.8 and if there is a bug in Firefox then I'll stay with the old for now. You made it too good in the first place lol well done!

will this mess up my members thanks count ?

I thought it might be something like that. Sorry to be a pain though - but where would I be looking for the bit that displays it? Would it be in one of the templates? Or the XML file?

And if anyone (yourself or someone viewing the thread) would be able to give me an idea of what sort of condition I would need, that would be a HUGE help. Still learning a lot of this...

Sorry, no way right now.

Hey, nice work!

Question: If I set this to only show for 1 particular forum (like a customer service area), will the 1 query still have to be run on the other forums? If yes, is their a way to prevent that in a future version?

Thanks so much!

If there's anyone who has a little knowledge that could help me set up the conditional to only show the thanks box if 2 or more people thank, please PM me. I'm not sure what to write and feel Abe doesn't have the time (or want) to help me. This is the only thing that is stopping this mod from being exactly what I want for my forum...

Replace your post_thanks_postbit_legacy template with this code:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] >= 2">
<div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px 0px 0px">
    <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
        <tr valign="top">
            <td class="alt2" width="175">
                <if condition="$post['post_thanks_amount'] == 1">
                    <strong><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_user_says]</phrase></strong>
                <else />
                    <strong><phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_amount_formatted]" 2="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_users_say]</phrase></strong>
                </if>
                <if condition="$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6">
                    <br /><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_all&amp;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_all($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove]</a>
                </if>
                <if condition="$post['show_thanks_remove_option']">
                <br /><a href="post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_remove_user&amp;p=$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions['disable_ajax'] != 2"> onclick="post_thanks_remove_user($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions['post_groan_integrate']">true<else />false</if>); return false;"</if> rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[post_thanks_remove_user]</a>
                </if>
            </td>
            <td class="alt1"><div>$post[post_thanks_bit]</div></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</div>
</if>

Note that I'm using Postbit Legacy, you shuld add the conditional to the post_thanks_postbit template, if your are using that.

Thanks for hack! But I have a problem with it. In the profiles of all users the total amount of thanks is similar with admin's thanks! My vbulletin version is 3.7.0 Beta 3. What's that, what can I do to solve this problem?:)

Thankyou Elmer!! Looks like it works perfectly. Thank you so much. /bow

Is there a mod or submod of this that would allow guests to say Thank You and this be shown in a seperate part i.e. 'x Guests said Thank You for this post'?. Also on the groan hack too :)

Noctavia, I suggested this in the 3.6 thread, but I don't think you saw it. You're really much better off using the hooks Abe1 placed within the code, instead of using template edits as suggested above, otherwise every time Abe1 updates the mod, you'll have to re-do the template edit above...

Just create a simple plugin for hook location: post_thanks_function_post_thanks_off_end

Try this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$sql = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(post_thanks_votenum) AS qty FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post WHERE postid = " . $postinfo['postid'] . " AND qty < 3");



if ($sql['qty'])

{

     return true;

}

Within the query, change the 3 to minimum quantity of times a post should be thanked before displaying, and I think it'll give you what you need.

Note: To those who encounter this error

Code:

Unable to add cookies, header already sent

after the installation of this mod:

Its because you must follow the instructions given in the templates to alter and add the "$template_hook[navbar_search_menu]" in the navbar template if you are using a previous older style.;)

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:
Bitfield Collision: credits_cantearn = prefixrequired

Any one know how to fix this
i uninstalled the 6.3 and tried to reinstall and still the same thing
