Display Thread Raters: Who rated how?
 

Hiyas,

I searched a lot and surprised to see that this hack has never been made so I coded myself: The hack will display who voted how for threads while reading them: You simply put your mouse over the stars icon on the upperright corner of the thread and thread raters will be displayed with the votes they gave. (See screenshot below)

By default hack will display this information to Site Admins only, but I included the instructions to make it visible to Super Mods, Mods or all members as well.

It's a VERY easy to install hack with 2 simple steps and it will not take you more than 2 minutes to install. It's also compatible with ALL vbulletin versions I know.

If you install the hack, please click INSTALL, thank you..

Enjoy! :beard:

nice hack but it does however remove that "privacy" that most people hope for.

Screw privacy, this hack rules! Nice one :)

A good way to make people not want to vote.

I like to respect everyone of my member's privacy by not installing such hacks as this (same goes for that admin can read users PM, it's just not right :rolleyes: )

looks good.... all you need to do now is to display it only to desired membergroup. This way, some people might want admin only to have that fine hack :glasses:

you know what, Lionel, that could be a good ideal, just make it so a cercent usergroup could see it

hey guys try reading the whole post



good hack dude :D

I second that.

But it is up to the admin PER forum to decide if he wants this or not. I know I won't apply this to my board though.

Hey... I wish I had seen this earlier! I for one applaud this hack! I have a few embicils that love to run around giving the good posts bad ratings! Going to install it right away! Thanks!

I missed the admin only part in post.

Great hack!

Working great! Thanks again Logician :)

I just installed the hack and it works great. :)
I can see why people would say hacks such as viewing other's PM's would be an invasion of privacy, but I don't see anything wrong with seeing how a user rated a thread.

Jo man! Nice hack! Just one request though. Could you make it so that is also shows who voted how when you go over the image in the thread_display? Now, i have to go into a thread to tsjek it out.

:classic:

I know this looks like a good idea but in technical terms it is not unfortunately. You have to query the database once for each thread displayed in forumdisplay and this means if you have set your settings to display 40 threads per page, your forumdisplay page will have an extra 40 SQL query which way too much. Your hosting company wouldnt love the change.. :)

However the hack as it is does not have such an disadvantage, and has a nice performance so should stay as it is.. ;)

You are totally right! :D

Thnx 4 the hack!

very good hack
thx

great hack....

Don't forget to add the "who_rated" template to the $templatesused line under Show Thread. It will save an extra query. :)

Actually it might be a better idea, not to add it to $templateused variable, if hack applies only to special usergroups like Admins as suggested. ;)

Because in this case the template will be loaded rarely and such templates are preffered not to be loaded by default to save memory space. Although the issue is controversial, dev team uses this standart. Here is discussion about this..

I'd love to install this hack but it doesn't look like it's compatible with 3.5. Any plans to update it?
