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.

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
  • Users can remove their own Thanks
  • Turn on and off hack totally
  • Turn on and off hack for only some forums
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread in specific forums
  • Option to turn off hack view of date for specific or all forums

You have to make sure the new style is for your version of vb. You may need to check the templates to see what has to be updated.

The 'Templates Edits For Custom Styles'.....is that necessary for the latest version?

Does the xml only implement for the default vb style?

Bén.

But do I need to just check which templates that need re-edited or should I just re-upload the xml and start everything over?

I am using a style with a custom postbit, and I edited it using the manual edits included in the instruction for custom styles, however when a post is thanked it puts a lot of space between the bottom of the post and the thanks window (as shown in the picture below). What code should I change to bring up the "thanks" box a bit more?

Hello - I've used the "Thanks" hack for several months and loved it. I just downloaded and installed the newest version - "post thanks 6 3 vb3 6 8.zip" for my 3.6.8 board, and nothing is showing up anywhere on the board. It shows up as installed in the products list, and there are options to turn it on/off, etc...in the "vBulletin Options", but no thanks button on threads anymore.

I deleted all of the version 5.3 template hacks, then uninstalled 6.8 thank you hack, then re-uploaded all of the 6.8 files. It's listed in the options and products page - but still nothing show up on the actual board. Can someone help with what I may have made a mistake on?

Thank you!
Reed
