Show Thread Enhancements - vB.org Rating System Replica

I applogize for releasing this modification again for a second time. The initial thread has gone insane and literally doubles and triples ALL of my posts each time I have responded to the thread. I am not certain why, but it only occurs in that thread, so here we go again. lol

This modification will replicate the rating system found here on vBulletin.org. There is currently a release by Magnus out there that does some of this.

This version functions just like vb.orgs.

If you wish to see how this will appear, you can view the top of any page where there is a thread here on the .org. That rating box is what you will be installing.

I mean no disrespect to Magnus for releasing this modification. (It isn't his code, but he released something very similar.) I wanted to be able to support it and update the thread as needed.

New Updated File Includes The Corrections To Make The Change Voting Work.

I managed to get this to work inside the postbit instead of showthread.

You need to replace $threadinfo[threadid] with $GLOBALS[threadid].

It's working great now, however the voting panel doesn't disappear once you've voted on the thread.

Ideally I'd like it to show the thread rating & number of votes.

What do think is up? Is there something I still need to add in the SHOWTHREAD template?

I'm having similar problems, can anyone help?

answered my own q.. you have to put an if condition around the code in showthread

I am also having this problem, it is showing in all forums despite what the forum permissions are saying, also once I have rated the thread and refresh the page, all I get is a yellow thin line appear, with no results in it.

Question also: How do you change the font colour of the text in the box, currently it is black and I need white.

Thanks for listening, this hack is floored without these fixes requested above. FYI I am running 3.6.7

you could probably add an <if> statement with the forum ids or go with the other made my magnus

Sorry, this really is not working, it doesnt use the forum permissions, usergroup permissions and is very buggy!

I will be uninstalling if it cannot be fixed soon. Any news from the author?

I am the author. If you look at the top of this page, this modification is listed as "unsupported". That means that the author released it, but is not going to support it officially.

I don't use this modification. I haven't gone and tried to upgrade it because I have been busy with my own site inbetween medical appointments. This modification is not on my priority list right now unfortunantly, though I may play with it at some point.

Sorry.
