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Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).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

So to clarify:

Paul removed reputation notification from his Display Unread Posts mod, and instead made reputation notification part of vb4.2 core functionality. However, the new reputation notification core functionality does not notify members of reputation given through thanked posts.

Do I have that right?

Thanks.

you have posted this in the wrong place

could a mod delete or remove this

[del Drago]

ForceHSS,

Why is this the wrong place?

I'm asking whether or not members who receive reputation points via this Post Thank You Hack will still receive notifications with vb4.2, as they used to before Paul changed his mods.

This is in relation to the following posts in this thread:

I will have to search for the changes to make it work.

Right now when a member's post is thanked, they receive a notification about it, telling them that they received the reputation points and the thanks.

However, based upon the above posts, it appears that this no longer works with vb4.2. I'm seeking clarification on this point.

Thanks.

Correct...I need time to research..

[addamroy]

Is there anyway to disable the collapsable THANKS list?

Personally I'd prefer to have the big long list of THANKS under threads where users have been thanked a bunch of times.
