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:

That should do it.

You can set which usergroup has what set of rights on specific forums.

are you going to be releasing a new version soon?

Can we use this w/3.7.x?

[powerful_rogue]

Hi,

Im wondering if anyone could help! In themod it says find and delete

<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadrating"); </script></if>

The closest thing I have to it in my showthread is

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
<td class="tcat" id="threadrating" nowrap="nowrap">
<a href="$show[nojs_link]#goto_threadrating"><span id="threadrating_current"><if condition="$show['rating']">$vbphrase[rating]: <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" border="0" /><else />$vbphrase[rate_thread]</if></span></a>
<if condition="$show['popups']"><script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("threadrating", true); </script></if>
</td>
</if>

Any help would be great

EDIT - Found it in the end. This mod dosent appear to operate correctly. Uninstalled.

Is it possible to move the box to the bottom of the thread? I have tried it, but when I do, the AJAX breaks.

The box shows up, I select a box, and hit vote. Loading bar at the bottom of the screen shows up real quick and goes away, but hte box stays the same. I refresh the page the vote went through. The AJAX just isn't refreshing the box. Ideas?

Is it stable enough? I've looked over some comments and it doesn't seem to be all that stable.

how to set "you can't rate your own thread" please

[Harley D]

If a member is banned and the post deleted. and if someone clicks on a link to that post, you will get a database error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT *
FROM yourdatabase_threadrate
WHERE userid = 1
AND threadid =;

It should tell the person that the post was deleted or some other page error, rather than a database error.

[Harley D]

Anyone have a fix?
