Show Thread Enhancements - vBorg Thread Rating

Update 08/21/07: Made a template change that should address the issue with the rating box still being visible after a thread has been rated. [link]

There seemed to be multiple requests for this, so here it is. This is a clone of the thread rating system you see in the modifications section of vBorg.

For a demo, scroll up to the big orange rectangle, select "Excellent" then click "Vote Now!".

Installation is simple. Just replace your current SHOWTHREAD template with the attached file. That's it.

For those with a modified SHOWTHREAD (or just for those who enjoy doing things the hard way), here are the required modifications:

In SHOWTHREAD:


FIND and DELETE:

Tha't's because noone has been able to make it work as it's supposed.

I thought i was close, but it didn't work... there must be a custom made conditional, cause when i use the rating conditionals, everythign is hidden after one vote. No matter if you do it ot someone else... in other words, it would be a one vote only funtion.
