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Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).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

"post_thanks_given" and "post_thanks_received" are only the tooltips for the arrows.

I think you mean phrase "post_thanks_thanks".

No. The mod has more than two phrases. These two "thanks given" and "thanks received" have nothing to do with the "Thanks" you've showed in your screen shot. Like I wrote these phrases are used only by tooltip f?r blue and green arrow.

I don't know why you are not searching for the phrases. Don't use your translation for search, search for english original phrase. If you don't have an existing translation in your language you can't find the phrase

In search form uses as search text "post_thanks" and below the option "in phrase name and phrase text". Then you'll get a list of phrases for this mod and see a phrase called "post_thanks_thanks" (with or without a translation). This phrase (and only this phrase) is used for both marked Thanks.

And there put your translation in.

----------------------------------------------
Addition:
If you are interested in different text phrases in shown position - (not a portugese Thanks twice) - then you can't do it only with phrase translation cause on both positions the same phase is used. Then you have to change the template for this.

1. Search for template (sorry, I have only german version), then double click on marked template.
2. Change marked phrases (first to post_thanks_given, last three to post_thanks_received) and save.

I tried to edit but the name does not appear?

the names will disappear

You don't have to replace the phrase name (this is a placeholder for the language specific phrase text) with your translation. You have to replace it with another phrase name.

I wrote - replace first "post_thanks_thanks" with "post_thanks_given", not with cuba libre or any other.
