[AJAX] Post Thank You Hack (updated) - Removed
 

Until I am sure that it is okay to publish this mod, I am removing it. I'm sorry one and all and if the vbulletin.org team decides that it is okay I will republish as soon as I hear.

Thanks...

Will this import thanks from 3.x?

Thanks for the update!

Yes, this will upgrade from Abe1's 3.x versions. Do not uninstall the 3.x version, just upgrade and you shouldn't lose any Thank Yous.

thank you for this update and...free! good work! tagged for a future install

Thanks for this :) Would be nice to have the Thanks button a bigger thank you button somewhere more noticeable. Most of my members don't notice it... :(

wait

tell me how i can add groan hack?
i've just install [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack (updated) and i can't find where to active groan hack :(.
please tell me how to do this. should i install another mod ?

Thank you for the update.

I have a question: Are all the recounters options still working?

He has also updated the groan hack:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=261869

Is this using the original authors code ? If so, do you have their permission to release this ?

How would i remove the box where it says

the following user .. says thanks for this usefull post.

I only want to see the number of thanks, is that possible?

Yes, it is a second Mod.

I used the Groans hack which was marked as "re-usable code" and worked it backwards from that one after cleaning up the code I changed it to thank rather than groan. I found that when I changed groan to thank in that one that the dbase tables were the same as my old hack and was able to upgrade from there, and I had to remove a search function that caused database issues.

I did rewrite the phrases to match my old hack as my users rebelled when I changed the phrases they were used to. I suspect that the code is close, probably very close, to the Thanks hack however I have not done a stare and compare, since the idea was originally Abe1's I do not take credit for the idea. I also do not take credit for the code. I simply wanted a way for people to get updates.

If this isn't copascetic I would not object to having the hack removed, just PM me if that happens so I don't start looking for a missing hack. I did ask in that old thread if this would be kosher to do, as I was unsure since it works and acts like the old hack (the one I used in 3.6) and can upgrade that old hack (using the same dbase tables).

As I said. If this isn't copascetic, then please remove the hack.

They worked for me.

Thanks for your reply.
One more question before I try your update.
I'm currently running abe1's latest version on vb 4.1.2.

The correct steps to update would be:

-disable the hack (at manage products)
-upload and overwrite files
-Import product-post_thanks.xml into PRODUCTS. Allow Overwrite "YES".
-re-enable hack again.
All thanks are remained then, right?

Thanks again.

Correct. Make sure to change your settings in Admin CP for the hack.

The hack that I created this from had old search string code which caused database errors rather than results so I disabled it until I learn how to call the right information from the new database tables.

tagged and thanks

Paul, will you please post here what vb.org's decision is on this mod?
I am using the current one from Abe1, but as you are aware, he hasn't been on the site since June 2010.
I'd like to use a new version, but not if it's going to be removed.

Hello I just want say that the thank you button did not show. What to do ?

You probably didn't put the buttons into the style images "buttons" folder. Each style has an images folder, you will need to add the button images to the folder for each style.

I added the buttons in the specified folder and still does't show up

Which folder did you add it to? I believe you are adding it to only one folder rather than to the folder specific to the style you are viewing it in.

working with vB 4.1.3 ?

Yes.

Is there a way to remove these until I have a definitive answer? I'm not a pro, I released one hack a long time ago for 3.x versions and now did these. I could remove them until I know... But I don't see a way to do that when I hit the "edit" option...

Well I'm looking at all of Abe's Post/Groan mods and see none marked as re-usable code... not doubting you just doing my "job" per say. Can you post info or PM Paul or myself something to correspond w/ the "re-usable code" as you previously stated so we can verify?

Same thing for the Groan version as well: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=261869

Thanks!

It was the groan version posted by Mohammad6006 that had the re-usable code clicked. I didn't want to mess with ones that didn't have that.

This one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=255226

how and where Search for a users thanked posts ?

what needs to be done?

sorry for my English knowledge

It hasn't been added yet.

I would hope that vBulletin.org would recognize that these add-ons have effectively been abandoned. What Phaedrus has done is undertake the task of trying to keep the add-ons updated for vBulletin 4.x and to provide support that the poriginal authors are unable or unwilling to provide.

I added the files in the style that i am currently using (I am using VB 4.1.3) and i am sure that every thing is done correctly. any advice?

Yes. I'm grateful that Phaedrus makes the effort to keep these hacks updated.

I hope the vbulletin.org staff does support this and does not force him to quit due to pseudo copyrights. A short e-mail to the author should clarify anything...if he won't reply...no complaint, no redress..

Suggestion for further updates/ info:

I have got that info from the original thread and they are useful for me:

1.
in template post_thanks_postbit_info
looking for {vb:stylevar right} and replace with {vb:stylevar left}, all occurrences.
This resolves my alignment issue.

2.
post_thanks_box entire new code (fixes inline mod issue):
<li class="postbit<vb:if condition="$vboptions['legacypostbit']">legacy</vb:if>" id="post_thanks_box_{vb:raw post.postid}"<vb:if condition="!$post_thanks_box == 1"> style="display:none"</vb:if>>
{vb:raw post_thanks_box}
</li>

3. Give reputation points for each thanks received.
This will create a link at the users setting page, users are now able to find the post for which they have got thanks. Set the entries to 20 at acp (User reputation options). Controls how many ratings to display in the user's control panel.

This is a temporary solution until the search option will be reintegrated.
Thanks to the original authors for the ideas which are very useful and I am using atm.

Does the stylevar imgdir_button point to the path where you have uploaded post_thanks.png and post_thanks-hover.png? (Default: images/buttons)
Are you using a non reverted (modified) postbit template?

I'm sorry all... Until I get an answer from the management I'm removing the files and description. While I think this is a great Mod and should be updated and continued I also like to live up to the rules we all agreed to follow when we joined this place...

Nuts. Admins: Can we get a decision on this ASAP?

Thanks...

Well, seriously, I don't see why there would be an objection. Abe1 hasn't been here in a year and he's therefore provided no support for the mod and shown no interest in further development. And this is a "freeware" community, after all. If he wanted to continue to support it or develop it, I assume he would have done so and if he isn't interested why on earth would he object to someone else taking on the job?

Pffft!

While waiting for a decision dragon byte is making money with their importer which is no freeware.....I bet abe1's opinion on this wasn't caught up.

I don't get the point. Vbulletin.org supports dragon byte's alternative which imports abe1's thanks database and you have to pay for.
"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."

This feature is fully supported / tolerated by vbulletin.org, so why should it be a problem with Phaedrus's support of the original hack?
