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Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).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

anyone around that may know how I can make this happen?
I know it's an old plugin and even older version of vbulletin

thx

[addamroy]

For some reason, when any user clicks the "Thanks" button to give thanks, they're being redirected to a "You do not have permission to access this page" message (like when trying to view a private forum).

Even though you get redirected to the error page, the thanks does still added to the thanked post.

I can "Remove your thanks" without seeing the error message, however the page does refresh when you click it which I think is strange.

Is there a fix for this, or does anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

edit - I'm using vb 4.2.12 and the most recent version of this hack.

[Thr33]

I have usergroup promotions scheduled when a user hits 5+ reputation count. I have included a plugin within the 'post_thanks_main_add_thanks_end' hook which i dont think is a problem.

The problem is the scheduled task dosnt seem to be promoting/demoting members which this MOD enabled.

Any ideas why?

[sviternim]

Guys. In this mode we have "thanks count" and "post count with thanks". How i can remove from display second?

[StormBreaker]

In post_thanks_postbit_info template
Replaced

PHP Code:

<div align="center"><span class="legacytext">Thanked: 1</span></div> 


With

PHP Code:

<dt>&#1575;لتشكرات</dt> <dd>1</dd> 


And

PHP Code:

<div align="center"><span class="legacytext">Thanked: {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times}</span></div> 


With

PHP Code:

<dt>&#1575;لتشكرات</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times}</dd> 


Fixed it.

Couple of formatting problems I'd appreciate some help with. When the hack is enabled to show in the postbit:

- the "Thanked x times in x posts" box exceeds the width of the postbit. Is there any way to change the format or the phrase? Would also like "Thanked" to be formatted in the same blue colour as in the "Thanks" box above.

- I'm using the Wy Flags add on but would like the Thanks/Thanked boxes to appear above the flags. Had a few tries at editing postbit_legacy without any success

[soccerman2015]

It would be really nice if someone would know how to make a code change ?

first image is what i want.

second image is how this tread mods shows originally.

I think originally is not good, beacause like is outside post.
and make tread are bigger.
