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


Major Features: Lite

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.

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.

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.

Thanks.

Hey, I'm trying to get it to display here - otherwise I don't want to use it. I tried the manual install but it doesn't display properly. Is there a way? Did anyone figure it out?

[edytwinky]

Would anybody be willing to chip in and trying to find a coder to make this compatible with Is Darthos lightweight style?

That is a Pro-only feature

Unfortunately that would require undoing everything that makes it "lightweight" - it's made explicitly so that modifications won't run.

Hello,

I have installed this on a fresh install Vb4.2.1

I uploaded everything in "upload" folder, CHMOD777 the right folders.
Installed product.

The last step I am unable to complete as it is not there in the admin control panel.

4. Configure your Usergroup settings by clicking "Manage Buttons" under
"DBTech - Post Thanks" in your AdminCP navigation menu, then
editing each button and setting your usergroup permissions from there.

Edit: I am super-admin already.

[Brit007]

Also, do I upload the dbtech folder to forum root or do I go into the dbtech folder and then upload all contents?

In your instructions it says to upload "all" folders inside the "upload folder". So I uploaded dbtech to the root directory of the forum and CHMOD to 0777 /dbtech/thanks/vbactivity_type

Hi,

Thank you for the amazing mod.
But I have this little problem:



As you see, the background of the thank and like button is black, which was difficult to see. How can I change the background color of this?

P/s: the others custom style and default style work fine. Only this custom style has that issue.

Thank you

[DragonByte Tech]

This is most commonly the result of CSS settings, namely the background attribute of the .postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a, .eventbit .eventfoot .eventcontrols a { CSS class, in postbit.css.
To fix it, please try the following steps:

Step 1) Remove all the contents of the postbit_control_background StyleVar.
Step 2) If that didn't fix it, please enter the postbit.css file and find the .postbitlegacy .postfoot .textcontrols a, .postbit .postfoot .textcontrols a, .eventbit .eventfoot .eventcontrols a { CSS class, and remove the background: definition.


Hope that helps

Is there a major coding difference between this and the Post Thank You mod? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=231666

I was able to have this coded for Darthos Lightweight Style and it works on that with notifications too.
