About Developer · **Released**: 01-15-2010

Helpful Answers has been used to record over 6 MILLION times on more than 2,000 forums. If you're not using HA your users are looking for it!

Every day your users contribute hundreds if not thousands of posts making it hard for new members and guests to separate out the best answers from those that are less helpful. The Helpful Answers System offers your members a quick way to rate individual posts as either helpful or not allowing future visitors to understand the value of each post.

Designed to be flexible, HA has over 30 configurable settings:

Use image or text ratings AJAX or traditional links.
Offer yes/no or scaled 1-10 point ranking.
Turn off negative ratings for a positive only system.
Decide which forums are open for helpful answer ratings.
Audit the system and identify top users and potential abusers.
Ban specific members from using the system.
Customize the message shown after a post is rated.
Show a page with the top helpful posts.
Show rating stats on a user's profile.
Hide posts that rate "too low"
Template driven so you can customize it all for your forum.

For advanced users template conditionals and variables let you further extend the functionality to color highlight good or bad posts, include ratings in user?s profiles and much more.

Modification Installation [Must Read]:

Step 1: Upload the addon files found in the upload/ folder to your forum directory
Step 2: Install the plugin through your vB Administration area
Step 3: Configure settings & enable the mod in individual forums

You must configure settings & enable forums before voting will show up.
Anonymous Stats Tracking (optional):

By default this addon will pass basic rating data (positive or negative) to a 3rd party site for statistical purposes. Only the most basic data is captured (the vote and your site name) and no user information or specific forum details are logged, not even an IP address. You can disable this through the admin.

Mod Philosophy -- Drive Your Own Success:

All of my mods are inspired by my work in digital marketing and are designed to drive registrations, interaction or other engagement activities the core platform does not address.

Each is designed to fit a general need by providing a starting point but it's on you to decide how to make things work to their best possible outcome. Feel free to suggest what you'd like to see next but don't wait to have what everyone else has; figure out what your forum needs and customize away.

Hi,

i love this MOD! However, before i am going to make it available to my users, i need to find a solution to the following problem:

In the backend, i activated/enabled "Most Helpful Answers", so that a page of the top answers (posts) based on overall votes should be displayed.

1. Where do i find this page?
2. Will there be a link in the navbar being directed to said page?

Thank you in advance

Code:

http://www.yoursite.com/helpfulanswers.php
OR 
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/helpfulanswers.php

There is no link in the navbar, I'll code that in as an option via plugin this weekend.

See Ted's quote below, you have enabled the Helpful answers in the Forum Manager correct? Edit the desired forum and near the bottom are the options

That would be AWESOME ! Is it possible to show a "top ten" of the most helpful answers for each month ?? I?ll need something like that before I install on the live site

Have been trying to get a "top list" by making up a url like:
http://mydomain.org/admincp/helpfula...&orderby=count

Thanks a ton for your efforts !!

Greetings

Don?t think that it?s coded already, but it?s easy to get the link to helpfulanswers.php in the navbar by using this mod.

I really hope that TheLastSuperman or Ted S will focus on the functionality of the "most helpful answers" page instead.
Preferably letting users select Month and Year, and display the "Top ten" list by those inputs

Pleeaase... Am willing to donate money for this

PS: Am looking to use this mod for a "nomination system" where users can "nominate" each post for "Post of the Month"

Munkholm · #**850** 03-04-2011, 09:03 AM

TheLastSuperman & Ted S.

I know nothing about coding, but I would think that you could borrow a lot of the needed coding from the Top Poster of the Month/Year mod ?

"Just" change:
User Id > Post Id
Total Posts > Total Helpful Votes
Join Date > Post Date
[S]Posts In Month[/S]

Wish I knew how to do this myself.
