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.

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.

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.

Go to DBTech's site and check it there. They have all their pro versions installed there. Maybe you'll need to register, as mod has option that guests don't see button bar and I don't know if they use this option, as I'm registered and always logged in.

Feature List: Lite

How to hide content? and thank it to display the content.. thx

[Alan_SP]

This doesn't work in light version anymore. You need to buy pro for this.

There are no PM notifications

If you want to disable the forum notifications, you can disable the notifications_list and member_build_blocks_start (or whatever) plugins, that will stop the profile block as well as the notifs from appearing

Sorry, I don't get what you mean.

If you want only Members and Admins to be able to click a button, then only tick the "Can Click" checkmark for those usergroups

Use the Go Advanced editor

Once you tick the box there, it'll hide the whole contents of the post.

The Pro version supports [HIDE] tags

Pro version upgrade simply requires you to re-upload the files and re-import the XML

APTL does integrate with vBActivity & Awards, yeah

You'll need to edit and save each button in Manage Buttons (no actual changes are required) once vBAA is installed to get it to "pick up" the APTL buttons, after which they are available for criteria as well as in vBAA's Points Settings.

Please add yourself to Super Administrators in config.php to ensure you can see the DBTech - Post Thanks header, then click Button Manager -> Edit

[apokphp]

Does this not work with 4.1.12?

I've installed it, managed the buttons...set to allow Administrators to be able to "Can Click", and I've had my userid set as SuperAdministrator in config.php.

But nowhere, is there a link/button to thank, like or dislike in any post. Tested both in the default and custom skin.

Also, nothing appears under "Quick Links". Are the stats supposed to be there or something?

It's like this hack wasn't even installed, even though it went through all the steps during the install...

*edit*

I have the vb Optimise mod installed, I flushed the cache, and got a couple changes.

1) The Quick Links area shows the Hottest Threads / Posts (good)
2) It also shows Thank / Like statistics (good)
3) The postbit now displays a dropdown that displays what I assume will be the user's thank/like stats

However...there is still no area/link/button to actually GIVE thank, like or dislike for a post.

[apokphp]

yikes...this mod also removed my site's logo which was in the header...how/why would it do that?
