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:

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
	<!-- thread rating menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="threadrating_menu" style="display:none">

That should do it.

I backup my real showthread template and paste your fully .txt Now it's okay, thank you.

but after rating the sistem says again 'please rate' the rating bar is still showing and no results only in embedded thread is my rating showing..

[airborneCAL]

My rating box is a bit larger than vborg, how can I make it smaller?

It uses your CSS, so make whatever changes you like there or define new classes.

Show me your SHOWTHREAD template HTML, and I'll modify it for you.

I am having the exact same problem.

Where in the CSS? How would I define new classes? Bear with me, I'm learning the coding stuff. Thanks for your patience.

@ airborneCAL and tanyeri24:

In your AdminCP. Go to:

vBulletin Options > Help Thread Display Options (showthread)

Now, enable "Check Thread Rating".

Let me know if that fixes it.

Mine is already enabled.

If it helps any - it appears that when I rate a thread, it works fine and records my rating. However, once I leave the thread and come back to it I still get the box as if I have not rated the thread yet, however it is non functional (I assume because my thread rating has already been recorded).
