I don't know if anyone is interested in this and I hope it is okay to post how I hacked this hack for some customizing.
We have a prayer request forum on our site and several people asked me if they could have a "praying" button that is like the "thanks" button. Last night I took it on and succeeded in "hacking the hack."
I actually worked off of the "groan" because I wasn't sure how things worked and didn't want to mess up the thanks hack. However, I see now that I could use either one. Basically, I took the "groan" hack and ran the files through a find and replace process to change "groan" to "praying!" I then edited the phrases in the main php file, created a "praying" gif, and installed it.
Finally, I renamed the php files.
While I was on a roll, I did another version for "laughing" - another request I've had.
Things aren't perfect, for instance, some of the phrase names are a little weird, but they work just fine.
Our users love the Thank you hack and I think they are going to get a kick out of the other versions of the "hacked hack."
