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Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).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

I'm on vb.4.2.1

even if I disable postbit_legacy stats, still the same error shows up. if you use chrome inspection tool, you will notice these issues.

possibly some extra code is needed to include inside vbulletin-core.js since the issue is javascript related

PHP Code:

No inlinemod selection checkbox found for post_imod_checkbox_thanks_box_7313 vbulletin-core.js?v=421:11 


I didn't try it on vb.4.2 pl3, but only the latest vb4.2.1

I'm sure the solution is not that difficult.... I hope someone can help!

As for me, I use this one: post_thanks_ version_7.84+with_and-without-integrated_postbit_box_collapse.zip in this page: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1941

I thought all versions in that page are fixed!!!

which one do you recommend me to install?? is there any bug-free version??

Thanks

[fxdigi-cash]

Up!!!!!

[ku-med]

So it's not compatible with vb 4.2.1 yet even with this fix ?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1941

I've tried it and it didn't work for me even with editing xml the 10th line ( changing the max version to 4.2.1 ) .. any other solutions ?

Thanks in advance!

[Hippy]

they both are 100% working to the latest vb4

I can confirm that post_thanks_ version_7.84+with_and-without-integrated_postbit_box_collapse.zip works fine with 4.2.1

A little tip if it's not showing for your visitors, just enter the admin > settings > post thanks options panel and then save and exit. It seemed to get it re-activated and working for me.

[ku-med]

Oh xD Thanks guys it's worked for me now

I've downloaded this attachment https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1433

[cdoyle]

I think I downloaded the wrong version, when I tried to install it I get this error.

This product is not compatible with version 4.2.0 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0 beta 4 / Incompatible with 4.1.0 alpha 1 and greater)

Is there a 4.2 version? From the comments, looks like there is. I just don't see it.

Thanks for reply. This is strange that even after re-installing the mod, I still get these warnings in Chrome. I disabled all mods I have, but only this one and I still get these warnings. Then I disabled this mod and things became fine.

Now I guess I will have to try each version individually and see if it works or not...!!
