Show Thread Enhancements - [AJAX] Post Groan Hack

Post Groan Hack 4.1

About this hack:
This hack was requested by users who like my "Post Thank You Hack". Both can run together on the same forum.

This hack adds a "groan" button to all posts. Any user can "groan" at a post. This will reduce the amount of "junk" posts your forum gets.

Features:

• Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
• Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they groan at a post.
• Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
• Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
• Places all Groans into one small box
• Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
• Users can't groan twice
• Guests don't see 'groan' button
• Counts how many groans a user gives
• Counts how many groans a post gets
• Shows how many groans a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many groans a user gave in profile
• Shows how many groans a user got
• Shows info in profile
• Search for a users groaned at posts
• Search for all groaned at posts
• Administrator can remove all Groans from a single post
• Users can remove their own Groans (Option to turn it off)
• Turn on and off hack totally
• Turn on and off hack for only some forums
• Option to turn off hack view of date all forums
• Option to integrate hack with Post Thanks Hack

Hi Abe, great Hacks! Thank you for all your work.

Is it possible for the next version to please allow SuperModerators to manage other peoples Thanks/Groans?

Regards,
Dave

Proposal

It will be nice to have a way to delete individual user's Groan.

For now administrator can delete:

1. His own Groan
2. All Groans at once

Proposal is to add one more way:

1. His own Groan
2. Any other user Groan
3. All Groans at once

work with Post Thank You hack ?

What about combining the boxes of the thanks and groan boxes? Highlight the thanks in green and the groans in red?

That's an awesome idea I think, because now it is expanding the space that a message use in the page view, so it is a little bit more "noisy" view... I hope I could explain what I mean when I said noisy, perhaps can be called "untidy" also.

If both thanks and groan can be in same box, somehow, it would be better - in my opinion

On the other hand, that groan hack is already awesome Thanks & kind regards ^^

Installed and working with Version 3.7.3

Thanks for these :up: :down: mods

[Llandy]

Awesome mod, just like the "thank you" mod.

When I try to delete a user, I get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function delete_groans() in /home/chattabo/public_html/includes/class_dm_user.php(2315) : eval()'d code on line 18

If all you want to do is switch the Thanks and Groan buttons round in the postbit just open up postbit_display_complete hook option under Post Groan Hack in the Plugin Manager and change the Execution Order to 4.
