Post Thank You Hack

STAFF EDIT:
Note - The mod author has been unreachable for some time, but the vbulletin.org community has stepped up to provide a number of individual fixes over the years. ForceHSS, Hippy, and Seven Skins have all combined many of these fixes into product files.

ALL CREDIT STILL GOES TO ABE1 And this is still 'his' mod. Please still mark the mod as installed if you use any version of it.

That said so you don't need to apply a dozen + small fixes yourself you should consider downloading one of the updated packages below:

Hippy has one in this post.

AND / OR

ForceHSS has one in this post.

AND/OR

Seven Skins has one in this post.


- Original File Specs: post_thanks_7_82.zip (26.4 KB, 24844 downloads) - Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).
- There are five total patched versions available, some with and without the search fix - I've replaced the main file with the patched versions... please be sure to download and install the correct version, the main mod post contains links to additional information and patched files!
- If Abe1 returns he can request these packages be removed.


About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

does your post_thanks_box_bit template
have this code in it ?

<a href="member.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}u={vb:raw thank.userid}" rel="nofollow">{vb:raw thank.username}</a><vb:if condition="$date_thank">&nbsp;({vb:raw date_thank})</vb:if>{vb:raw virg}

I cant tell but from your picture it looks like this is missing
 
and the hide hack you would see Show/Hide list of the thanked
so if you are using it maybe the edit it not correct
make sure you have reverted all your post_thanks templates as well..

I check the post_thanks_box_bit, and it has " " in there, but don't know still have this error.

Is there a modification that replaces the reputation meter and instead labels it as a "Thank You" meter? I have it set to give 1 reputation point per Thank You received so this would be very useful. I'd also like to remove the existing reputation button (star) in place of Thank You.

How do I move the Thanked xx in xx posts from being right aligned to left aligned in the postbit?

@OP - Great mod, thanks for the hard work!
One request :
Is it possible to add a link to all thanked posts to a user profile ? Currently i can only see total thanks and in how many posts.

In case you are migrating from VBSEO Likes to this mod, here are the SQLs you need to run to convert all the likes retroactively to thanks.
Those statements assume you want to add 1 reputation point for each Thanks given (retroactively)

insert into reputation (postid,userid,reputation,whoadded,reason,dateline) select l_contentid,post.userid,1,l_from_userid,'Thanked Post',l_dateline from vbseo_likes, post where l_contentid=postid
insert into post_thanks (userid,username,date,postid) values select l_from_userid,l_from_username,l_dateline,l_contentid from vbseo_likes;

update user set post_thanks_thanked_times = (select count(userid) from reputation where reputation.userid = user.userid) ;
update user set post_thanks_user_amount = (select count(userid) from reputation where reputation.whoadded = user.userid);
update user set post_thanks_thanked_posts = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT postid) from reputation where reputation.userid = user.userid);

update user set reputation = (select sum(reputation) from reputation where reputation.userid = user.userid)

update post set post_thanks_amount = (select count(postid) from reputation where reputation.postid = post.postid);

Cheers for getting back to me.

Can you tell me which link I should download from or which version?

If you could post a link to the exact version would be awesome or just let me know?
