Importer from Abe's Thanks mod (vB3 / vB4) and vBSEO "Likes" 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.

Well, this is PHP error I get when I try to search for posts:

[Mon Nov 28 18:12:50 2011] [error] [client 95.178.184.141] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined method THANKS::parse_bbcode() in /var/www/vhosts/
slobodni.net/httpdocs/vb/legacy/post.php on line 237, referer: http://slobodni.net/

It appears in error log after I installed new version (that's confirmed). Not really sure if it's connected with importer, or mod in general.

It looks like there's some thanks BBcode or something similar.

EDIT: Excellent news for me. I just installed old version (1.1.9) and everything works for me. Now I again could search posts and show them as posts, not as threads.

Please, try to find what's causing this error, probably there's going to be others who will have same problem.

[DragonByte Tech]

The readme instructions changed, apologies for that. Please open that file and change THANKS:arse_bbcode() to

PHP Code:

        // DBTECH THANKS - STRIP HIDE
        global $vbphrase;
        THANKS::doBBCode($page_text, $vbphrase['dbtech_thanks_stripped_content']);
        // DBTECH THANKS - STRIP HIDE

You solved problem so soon.

Ok, don't get me wrong, but at the moment I wouldn't go and update APTL to test solution, but later I will. I'm a bit exhausted with all of this... I hope that someone else would confirm that problem is solved.

I'm getting redirect error from firefox or any other browser

The page isn't redirecting properly
      
      
      
      
      
        
        
          Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
        

        
        

  This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
    cookies.

when i go to my profile then thanks tab then the second page of listed thanks.

(Thanks Received) is always zero even after rebuild statistics
When a user gave me a new "thanks" then the count started from zero (Thanks Received=1)

Also, in user profile
( 09:55 PM ) - sadiq6210 clicked Thanks for this post: (xxxxxxx) by
There is no username after (by), just space.


And I cannot move to page 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - .......... in user profile
I can see only the first page !

I noticed that It is working when I remove (&perpage=20), to be like this:

/member.php?u=1&page=3&tab=thanks

,,

And about (Thanks Received), I cannot find it even in my profile

This occurs in either Internet Explorer of Firefox.

Thanks. I'll take your advice. If all is well, I'll be ready to pull the trigger on purchasing the pro version (I want the likes/dislikes to appear at the tops of messages).

Nice product!

I had the same issue, and indeed what you say about removing &perpage=20 from the url makes it work.

According to DBTech it's a server issue ...

Anyway, I edited the class_profileblock.php file to make it stop adding that perpage string on the url and works fine now.
(look for "&tab=$id" and remove the perpage part after it)

[Swedie]

How can I access a variable from the postbit_legacy template that has the count of how many have clicked thanks, or like?

Nice product!

I properly uploaded all the files and the problem still existed.

However, I did resolve the problem by disabling the following hook:

Product : DragonByte Tech: vBShout (Lite)->(Pro) APTL Button Clicks->dbtech_thanks_postsave (FYI, I have vbShout Lite installed).

Once I disabled this hook, I no longer get the 'Unknown Error'.

[Swedie]

How come that DBTECH template changes aren't included when doing an export / download of the main vB style? This is really annoying. I have to manually do all the changes. Easy to miss stuff.
