Importer from Abe's Thanks mod (vB3 / vB4) now available in Lite version!


Major Features: Lite

Require a Button CLick: Allows you to hide the content of a post, or hie an attachment, until the person clicks a button on the post.

Statistics: Shows the top 5 people for; Giving / Receiving button clicks.

Collapsable postbit stats: Shows how many button clicks a person has given, received etc in the postbit. Admins can determine what statistics can show in the postbit to control sizes etc. The postbit is also collapsable.

Admin Permissions: Control things such as who can click buttons, require button clicks, what shows in postbit, what options can run concurrently, per forum permisions etc.

Reputation: Add / Remove Reputation for each of your button clicks.

Notifications: Receive alerts when a member clicked on one of the buttons for one of your posts.

Import Thanks: Import script to import "thanks" from Abe's [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack on vBulletin.org. It will work with both vB3 and vB4 versions of this mod.

Import Likes: Import script to import "likes" from vBSEO.


Major Features: Pro

Infinite Buttons: Ability to create new buttons to press! No longer do you need to be limited by Thanks / Like / Dislike.

Auto Collapse Posts: Collapses a post so it doesnt show up by using a formulae for button clicks of your choosing.

User Postbit Config: Lets users decide what postbit stats they want to see.

Additional permissions: Un-click a button. Control how many stats show on the statistics page, set permissions per subforum.

Integrated Controls: You can now integrate the button clicking controls into the post footer, like many of you requested.

Buttons in First Post Only: This allows you to only make the first post thankable. If you forum is based around news, releases or anything similar this will allow your users to easily see the quality of the thread in question.

Button Click Anonymity: This feature will be extremely helpful to forums who like the idea of a "dislike" button, but don't like the drama it brings. Now you can set certain buttons to be anonymous - no one will see who clicked.

Post Colour Thresholds: Ever wanted an easy way for members to tell if a post is helpful or trash? Colour thresholds let you change the colour of posts depending on how many clicks of a button they receive. Members can now see at a glance whether or not a post is helpful, interesting or pointless.

Looks interesting.

Can you work on an integration with vBcredits and the other credit/cash mods?

Integration with other mods will come after all of the product features have been implemented successfully, so it could be a while. In saying that, since it keeps track of everything, it shouldn't be too hard for those mods to grab the data =)

Iain

I'll keep an eye on this as a feature. Good luck on the further development! :up:

Awesome modification! I have a quick question if I may please. Does this modification integrate into the vBulletin default reputation system? For instance all thanked or liked posts will increase a users reputation...

Thanks for the share ;)

Jacquii.

Currently it won't do jaquii, but i'll try to remember to add that for the next version ^.^

Good to see you around btw, You done some commission work for me back when co-owned inferno techonolgies =) I see your poetry forum is still going strong!

Iain

I was thinking about how i could make some like this, but im too stupid.
Thanks installed and nominated.

Installer problem has been fixed.

Also, a major bug has been fixed: Users who did not have a usergroup permission that does not exist in Lite would render this mod non-functional for their posts.

Please re-download the zip file and re-upload the files.

Thank you :)
But i got Internal Server Error when i click on Thank for this post!
http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/39/89845443.png

Note: I'm also using AJAX post thanks 7.7 and i keep it installed

Try re-uploading all the files and re-installing the product, maybe that'll help.

The same problem :(
I'm using 3.8.5 version, is there any problem with it ?

I don't think so, though I'll do some more testing over the weekend for the upcoming maintenance release :)

OK,, I'm waiting :)

Looks promising.

Is working good, but i have to refresh the page to see results. Is that normal?

If you mean to see previously hidden post content / attachments, then yes it is. But we're looking into changing that in the future :)

Thanks, I mean when I click the "like" button does not change the phrase, have to refresh to see "username like this"

I'll run some more testing on vB3.8 over the weekend :)

v1.0.1 has been released, which fixes all known bugs as well as improves upon an existing feature:
If the post requires Thanks or Like to see post content and/or attachments, it will now refresh the post without needing to reload the page.

To update, download the product, upload all files and import the XML file.

We hope you enjoy this new release :)

@Frank: I tested it again on 3.8 just now, and it appears to work fine with v1.0.1. Not sure what the problem was, but if it's fixed then that's what matters :)

Hi, thanks for the mod...

But I get this when I tried switching the quick reply to Go Advanced...

public_html/forum/dbtech/thanks/hooks/editor_toolbar_end.php on line 4

Updated zip, re-download, re-upload all files, and tell me if that fixes it for you :)

Thanks DragonByte,

It's working fine now. Thank you.

what db changes does the installation perform? from a quick view on the xml i can't find any, but it seems that it runs some more php files that do them.
just asking because that other thanks addon alters the posts table

Open /dbtech/thanks/install/install/1000.php to see all the queries :)

Good to see you around too dude. It's been a minute eh...?
I do think the modification will be fabulous when/if it works wonderfully with the default vBulletin reputation system.

Thanks for the new release - looks nice! ;)

Jacquii.

@Everyone: I have updated the files to fix a small bug in the Show Thread integration.

Fillip

DBTech,

Aside from the "likes" aspect of it, how does the "lite" version differ from Abe's "Thanks" mod?

Never used abes mod personally to be honest, so i couldn't say. Best just to compare the feature lists, and give us a shout if theres anything you'd like ot see in our mod =)

Is it possible to make it for thread and no for posts?

That's not currently possible, no :(


Fillip

I've updated the files with improved permissions checking for new posts.

Fillip

:( Bad news
Maybe in a future :)?

That would be nice!! :)

hi i installed the product and made a test post where thanks was required to view post content but it still shows the post content when i log in as a test member (vb 3.8)

I've been unable to confirm this, can you please try to edit the post and ensure the Require Thanks checkbox is indeed checked?

Fillip

i have done that several times mate still no luck :(

also if i check the button and click save if i edit again its not ticked

Can you please try re-downloading the zip and re-uploading all files, just in case there were some fixes to the files since you downloaded?

Fillip

Hey, I've installed this on our test-server and all seems to be working well - I like it so far.

EDIT: I see there is a search function enabled, I need to check into it more though to see how it works out.

Is it possible to create a section on the homepage (i.e. a box, where people normally place announcements our shoutboxes) where the top likes/posts are listed, with a link to a search?

And of course, if it could be enabled for threads... that would be PERFECT.
