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

  • 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

Hello,

i have a question about the reputation function. If you say "Thanks" and get reputation points for that. Does that also relay on the "rules of reputation".

So i mean, does it prevent two users allways thanking each other for every post, to boost their reputation.

Do you have to "thank you" x other persons, until the reputations adds on to your score?

So that it would only display the thanks that was given to you in that thread for each individual thread you have.

So if Thread 1 had 5 Thanks in it, then in the postbit it would show "Thanks Recieved in this Thread: 5"

And if Thread 2 had 8 Thanks in it, then it would show "Thanks Recieved in this Thread: 8"

Thanks.
........

This shouldn't be too difficult, just a conditional?

Thank you, I manually added these in my templates and your mod works wonderfully. I prefer to use the postbit thank you template in the postbit_legacy, it looks better.

I have a member on my site who says he cant thank users. when he clicks on the thanks button it takes him to a page that says " you do not have permission to access this page........"
He is in only one usergroup, so I have gone through the thanks settings, there are no banned usergroups, i have gone through permissions, and usergroup manager, and there are no settings for thanks in those.

I have never had a problem before upgrading to version 6.x

It seems like this could be a serious problem, and hopefully you will be able to fix it.

Thanks.

I think I'm having the same problem, I upgraded from 5.3 and thanks button has vanished!

I hoped installing the fix attached to this thread would possibly solve it, but nope. The options are available in my admincp to configure, but no sign of a thank you button anywhere on the forums..

Help!?

Edit: Just FYI, I'm running 3.6.7

Is there a way to change the text for the Thanks? What I mean is not all posts are being thanked for being "helpful" sometimes you just want to say Thanks because someone said soemthing nice about a photo you posted or a comment you made. I looked in the admin options and didn't see that, so I was hoping there was a place I could change that
