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Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).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

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.


Features:

• Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
• Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.
• Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
• Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
• Places all Thanks into one small box
• Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
• Users can't thank twice
• Option to not allow users to thank their own post
• Guests don't see 'thanks' button
• Counts how many thanks a user gives
• Counts how many thanks a post gets
• Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile
• Shows how many thanks a user got
• Shows how many posts or a user are thanked
• Shows info in profile
• Search for a users thanked posts
• Search for all thanked posts
• Administrator can remove all Thanks from a single post

I'm afraid I'm another one with the alignment issue - and I've been right through this thread, tried various solutions, and I'm still stumped. Currently I have my post_thanks_postbit_info as:

<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
	<dt>{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_thanks}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.post_thanks_user_amount_formatted}</dd>
	<vb:if condition="$post['post_thanks_thanked_times'] == 1">
		<dd {vb:stylevar left};">{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_time_post}</dd>
	<vb:elseif condition="$post['post_thanks_thanked_posts'] == 1" />
		<dd {vb:stylevar left};">{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_post, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}}</dd>
	<vb:else />
		<dd {vb:stylevar left};">{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_posts, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted}}</dd>
	</vb:if>
</vb:if>

... but still a slight misalignment on the last field:



It's a customised template (default style works fine). Does anyone have any suggestions, please?

[Valter]

channelfuse and Hippy, Thanks for the fixes.

Well.
How to remove the thanks made ​​by a particular User.
I have to remove only the thanks received by a single User.
Eg: Liked 1245 time in 896 post(s)

I'm using Post Thank you Hack latest version.

Please no need remove the code, only thanked votes. (clear table content only, to this individual user).

In other words, I need to reset the count of received Thanks.

In "Post Thank You Hack" installed only is possible to remove the User Thanks given

Any Help is welcome.

Regards.

If you're getting asked for a password to open the zip your download may have been corrupted- try downloading again.

No one would be allowed to post a password protected file on vBulletin.org.

I was using a computer from work, must of been that....sorry for the hassle

Does anybody know what code in this hack is the portion that helps this appear in the notifications bar?

I'm trying to do some coding but can't figure out what makes it appear in notifications
