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Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).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.


Features:
  • Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
  • Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.
  • Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
  • Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
  • Places all Thanks into one small box
  • Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
  • Users can't thank twice
  • Option to not allow users to thank their own post
  • Guests don't see 'thanks' button
  • Counts how many thanks a user gives
  • Counts how many thanks a post gets
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile
  • Shows how many thanks a user got
  • Shows how many posts or a user are thanked
  • Shows info in profile
  • Search for a users thanked posts
  • Search for all thanked posts
  • Administrator can remove all Thanks from a single post
  • Users can remove their own Thanks

Hello - I am using VB 4.1.6 and have been using this mod for a while. A month ago or so, I began getting this error emailed to me (it's ALWAYS a search bot that accessed the page). I get it at least 2-3 times per day.

Code:
Database error in vBulletin 4.1.6:

Invalid SQL:

					SELECT languageid,
			phrasegroup_global AS phrasegroup_global,
			phrasegroup_dbtech_thanks AS phrasegroup_dbtech_thanks,
			phrasegroup_user AS phrasegroup_user,
			phrasegroup_posting AS phrasegroup_posting,
			phrasegroup_album AS phrasegroup_album,
			phrasegroup_messaging AS phrasegroup_messaging,
			phrasegroupinfo AS lang_phrasegroupinfo,
			options AS lang_options,
			languagecode AS lang_code,
			charset AS lang_charset,
			locale AS lang_locale,
			imagesoverride AS lang_imagesoverride,
			dateoverride AS lang_dateoverride,
			timeoverride AS lang_timeoverride,

			calformat1override AS lang_calformat1override,
			calformat2override AS lang_calformat2override,
			logdateoverride AS lang_logdateoverride,
			decimalsep AS lang_decimalsep,
			thousandsep AS lang_thousandsep
					FROM language
					WHERE languageid = 1;

MySQL Error   : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_dbtech_thanks' in 'field list'
Error Number  : 1054

A previous post says that this is due to not fully uninstalling the product. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the product but I still get this error. Part of my confusion is that I don't understand where there is a link to this page on my site that the bots are accessing? I can't seem to find it.

Any ideas? I love this app and my members love it - I don't want to uninstall it, but I do want to make the error stop.

BTW: I have the 7.83 version installed (and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling). I will admit that I had an earlier version installed prior and just over-wrote the old files and reinstalled the XML file.

you must of had dbtech thanks mod installed because the errors are phrasegroup_dbtech_thanks

from his mod not this one..
make sure all his files have been removed and uninstalled.. and any template edits
double check the DB if any of his table are left..
