Post Thank You Hack 7.7


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!

  • Search for all thanked posts
  • Administrator can remove all Thanks from a single post
  • Users can remove their own Thanks
  • Turn on and off hack totally

  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread in specific forums

FOR UPGRADE AND FRESH INSTALLATIONS!

1) upload the 'upload via ftp' folder
--------------------------------------------------------------------
post_thanks.php -> \
post_thanks_admin.php -> \admincp\
post_thanks.js -> \clientscript\
functions_post_thanks.php -> \includes\
cpnav_post_thanks.xml -> \includes\xml\
hooks_post_thanks.xml -> \includes\xml\
post_thanks.gif -> \images\buttons\ (and into EVERY "buttons" folder in every style you have)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

2) Import product-post_thanks.xml into PRODUCTS. Allow Overwrite "YES" (admincp -> Plugin System -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product])


3) Template edits:


Open template: memberinfo_block_statistics

find:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<fieldset class="statistics_group">
<legend>$vbphrase[general_information]</legend>
--------------------------------------------------------------------

place BEFORE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
$template_hook[profile_stats_pregeneral]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't want to show the number of times thanked etc under a member's user name. Could someone please tell me how to turn that off. ASAP. It's causing a headache on my site.

Thanks so much!
Dawn

PS: I use dreamweaver to edit code when need be, but I can't seem to find what to edit.

Code:

Any idea what is causing this? Any fix?
Thanks
Anyone else seeing this N/A problem?

I installed mod_security and a set of rules. In doing so, the Post thanks system stopped working. Users were getting this error:



What is strange to me is that I have the following in my .htaccess in my /forums directory

Code:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
Any idea how I can run mod_security and still have post thanks working?

Thanks

By the way, I am completely illiterate when it comes to mod_security, but this is the specific rule that post_thanks is firing.

Code:
SecRule REQUEST_METHOD "!^(?:get|head|propfind|options)$" \
    "chain, t:lowercase, deny,log,auditlog,status:501,msg:'Request content encoding is not allowed by policy',id:'960010',severity:'4'"
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "!(?:^(?:application/x-www-form-urlencoded$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml)"
