What it is: Advanced Thanks/Like mod is designed to cut down on spam and increase useful content in your forum by using a peer encouragement system - users thank/like each others posts, which can give them access to attachements, post content etc, as well as encourage the thanked person to post more great content.

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.

But that is not the path mentioned in the error

You accidentally uploaded the actual upload folder instead of its contents

A fix for this will be uploaded some time this week

Yes, I was running vbShout lite. Tried disabling it but error message still shows up. Error disappears after I refresh the page (though I doubt it's suppose to work that way)
I'm looking forward to the fix next week!
Thanks

As for my qusestion (actually a request), could you elaborate a little bit more on the step: it is a little vague. What could happen if I don't do it? What happens if I do it?

Thanks in advance,

I'm a newbie and this is embarrassing, but where/how do I find "/vb/legacy/post.php" to edit it?

Look inside the files you downloaded from vbulletin.com (the ones you upload to your server to make the installation). In those files (already unzipped I guess), look for the folder called legacy. Inside you will find the post.php file.

Just copy that file and paste it somewhere else (i.e. your desktop). Open it and make the changes. Save the file, close it and upload it to your server, but be aware that you will have to upload it into the right filder (same as above: in your www folder, inside legacy).

Cheers!

I've tried the demo or lite version now I need to uninstall it How do I go about that? I don't seem to see a "uninstall" button or script to run. I tried deactivating the buttons but the "Post Thanks/Like" stats still show up in the user's profile next to each thread.
Thanks

Just go to vBulletin Options >> Plugins & Products >> Manage Products and then locate the product named "DragonByte Tech: Advanced Post Thanks / Like (Lite". Open the dropdown to its foremost right and select either Disable (in case you decide to give it another shot later on) or Uninstall to completely remove it.

If you uninstall it you might want to FTP into your site and remove the XML/Images you uploaded when you installed this mod.

Cheers.
