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Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).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

What does that mean? If you really can't get 4.1.0 working then go to vb.com and read some threads and do some searches.

If you're trying to say this mod has worked for you for years and after the upgrade to 4.1.0 it has stopped, then say so.

If you're trying to say you've just installed it on a new 4.1.0 board, then say that. And assure us you've read THIS ENTIRE THREAD so we know you aren't just being lazy.

I think it looks like your using this mod eTiKeT? 2011 Posbit_legacy - Postbit Details ??
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...userinfo_extra

so you will need to replace your "post_thanks_postbit_info" template with this
over write the template completely

<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
<div class="etiket_postbit_alanI_userinfo_extra_yazIlarI">
    {vb:rawphrase post_thanks_thanks} <dd>{vb:raw post.post_thanks_user_amount_formatted}</dd></div>
    <vb:if condition="$post['post_thanks_thanked_times'] == 1">
        {vb:rawphrase post_thanks_time_post}
    <vb:elseif condition="$post['post_thanks_thanked_posts'] == 1" />
<div class="etiket_postbit_alanI_userinfo_extra_yazIlarI">
        {vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_post, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}}</div>
    <vb:else />
   <div class="etiket_postbit_alanI_userinfo_extra_yazIlarI">     
{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_posts, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted}}</div>
    </vb:if>
</vb:if>

I know 143 pages is ridiculous to go through, but this hack hasn't been supported as this version since Jan 2010. It will not work with 4.1.10 "out of the box". To help the people who are still viewing this thread (100's and 100's), - has someone picked the ball up and is there a version that does work with 4.1.10 (other than the dbtech lite program which ads credits/links to the bottom of your forums)?
