Post Thank You Hack 7.4

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.

How can we remove the "the following users say thank you to ..." from appearing in the forum?

[kmoh]

How am i going to put my Thanked/Thanks count on the users data?

Like this

The one on the side, below the power level or the post count.

I am having a problem installing this MOD. I thought I uploaded all of the files, but it's saying I did not. I'm guessing it's because I'm not sure how to implement this part of the instruction "and into EVERY "buttons" folder in every style you have." I don't know where the styles are stored in the file structure. I looked for something obvious, but didn't see it. Can you tell me where to find the buttons folder for a style?

Is there a way to show extra content on the post when a user Thanks?

I am having no luck with this. I uploaded the files and imported the product and it doesn't work. It displays like it's working, but when I click "Thanks" the button disappears and nothing happens. Nothing gets "thanked" and the tally doesn't show anything either.

I've uninstalled it, re-installed it, 3 times and still nothing. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks!

And it is slowing the forum down incredibly bad. I have it uninstalled right now, but sometimes I get this error when it's installed:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

There was a post in another version of this product that gives the solution:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...92#post2038392

Essentially:

1. Open the file "post_thanks.php"

2. Find:

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

3. Change to:

// ####################### SET PHP ENVIRONMENT ###########################
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);

4. Save "post_thanks.php"

5. Re-upload to your FTP server.

This addresses some incompatibilities in newer versions of PHP.

It worked for me by the way.
