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.

Did you edit the post_thanks templates at all? Can you give me a better idea of how you get this error?

This is just too bad although I find it kind of normal that you don't.

The database hack is a great mod and many forums use it, even here! Using that hack, the fact that somebody posts a file on the first post is usually the one which we would thanks for the file but it does not appear. But now the Thnaks button does not appear with it. Anyhow, I'll try to ask in another thread.

Thanks for having taken the time to answer my question.

And thanks again for your great mod.

Thank you very much. And if I would like to install two copy of your hack to have a "welcome aboard" and a "happy birthday hack" what I've to modify?

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

I have both THANKS and GROAN hacks install, but it's taking too much space on the right side.

Can someone quickly point me to a code change I have to do to go from this look:

to this one:

The second one looks so much more compact and I can't find the code anywhere.
I am sure it has been posted already, I just can't find it

Please help me out.

Joe

Not sure if you can do that easily. The tempalates have to be renames and the hackid has to be renamed also.

jarosciak · #**468** 01-11-2007, 07:01 PM

Any idea how to change it? I am sure I am not alone here, who would want this amendment done.
Any help?

jarosciak · #**469** 01-11-2007, 09:23 PM

Ok, thanks anyways, looks like I am on my own. Once I changed it, I will post the code here. Thanks for your help.

jarosciak · #**470** 01-12-2007, 03:07 AM

Ok, this is not the best way to do it, as I manually typed in wording, but it works fine.

I added this to postbit and postbit_legacy, replacing original values:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Start Post Thank You Hack -->

<if condition="$post[userid]">

<br />

Thanks Given: $post[post_thanks_user_amount], Groans Given: $post[post_groan_user_amount]

<br />

<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_on] == 1">

$vbphrase[post_thanks_time_post]

<else />

<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts_on] == 1">

<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_post]</phrase>

<else />

<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times]" 2="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_posts]</phrase>

</if>

</if>

</if>

<!-- End Post Thank You Hack -->



<br />



<!-- Start Post Groan Hack -->

<if condition="$post[post_groan_times_on] == 1">

$vbphrase[post_groan_time_post]

<else />

<if condition="$post[post_groan_posts_on] == 1">

<phrase 1="$post[post_groan_times]">$vbphrase[post_groan_times_post]</phrase>

<else />

<phrase 1="$post[post_groan_times]" 2="$post[post_groan_posts]">$vbphrase[post_groan_times_posts]</phrase>

</if>

</if>

</if>

<!-- End Post Groan Hack -->

Now it shows like this:

Thanks Given: 0, Groans Given: 0
Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts
Groaned at 0 Times in 0 Posts
