What it is: Advanced Thanks/Like mod is designed to cut down on spam and increase useful content in your forum by using a peer encouragement system - users thank/like each others posts, which can give them access to attachements, post content etc, as well as encourage the thanked person to post more great content.

Importer from Abe's Thanks mod (vB3 / vB4) and vBSEO "Likes" now available in Lite version!



Major Features: Lite

Require a Button Click: Allows you to hide the content of a post, or hie an attachment, until the person clicks a button on the post.

Statistics: Shows the top 5 people for; Giving / Receiving button clicks.

Collapsable postbit stats: Shows how many button clicks a person has given, received etc in the postbit. Admins can determine what statistics can show in the postbit to control sizes etc. The postbit is also collapsable.

Admin Permissions: Control things such as who can click buttons, require button clicks, what shows in postbit, what options can run concurrently, per forum permisions etc.

Reputation: Add / Remove Reputation for each of your button clicks.

Notifications: Receive alerts when a member clicked on one of the buttons for one of your posts.

Import Thanks: Import script to import "thanks" from Abe's [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack on vBulletin.org. It will work with both vB3 and vB4 versions of this mod.

Import Likes: Import script to import "likes" from vBSEO.


Major Features: Pro

Infinite Buttons: Ability to create new buttons to press! No longer do you need to be limited by Thanks / Like / Dislike.

Auto Collapse Posts: Collapses a post so it doesnt show up by using a formulae for button clicks of your choosing.

User Postbit Config: Lets users decide what postbit stats they want to see.

Additional permissions: Un-click a button. Control how many stats show on the statistics page, set permissions per subforum.

Integrated Controls: You can now integrate the button clicking controls into the post footer, like many of you requested.

Buttons in First Post Only: This allows you to only make the first post thankable. If you forum is based around news, releases or anything similar this will allow your users to easily see the quality of the thread in question.

Button Click Anonymity: This feature will be extremely helpful to forums who like the idea of a "dislike" button, but don't like the drama it brings. Now you can set certain buttons to be anonymous - no one will see who clicked.

Post Colour Thresholds: Ever wanted an easy way for members to tell if a post is helpful or trash? Colour thresholds let you change the colour of posts depending on how many clicks of a button they receive. Members can now see at a glance whether or not a post is helpful, interesting or pointless.

We're unable to give approximated dates for upcoming versions due to our schedules being something that changes on a week-by-week basis, sorry

If you don't see that AdminCP group, please add yourself to Super Administrators via config.php

I'm having the same issue - can see "Thanks/Like" stats in user info area, but no buttons to give thanks or likes. And in my adminCP I do not have the DBTech - Post Thanks option panel. Yes, I am a super administrator, I checked.

Any ideas?

Everything is showing like it should work... all the settings are set up the way I'd done it a few times before but for some reason it's not functioning at all. Nothing happens when clicking on the Like or Thanks ... and the drop-down doesn't work either.

What's been changed with this Mod since I posted in here last August - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showt...96#post2234896 Whatever it was that changed, it broke it for me.

I'm using 4.1.5 pl1
I couldn't tell you, that's a long time ago.

Please check Firefox' error console for any errors.
Sorry, but I don't understand what this has to do with Firefox.

However, I did get it working to the point that ONLY the dropdown (expand/collapse button) doesn't work. It doesn't expand/collapse like it's meant to, all it does is take you to the top of the page which isn't it's function.
See attachment (taken from my working website) of what I mean.

I have tried installing both versions... the older one (v1.1.7 PL1 (Lite)) and the newer one v2.0.2 (Lite)). I have the older one working nicely on my existing website (using the same vB version), but for some reason neither versions of this mod are working on the rebuild of my website.

So, do you or anyone else have any clues as to WHY it's not working? What's causing that function to do something it's not meant to be doing?

I REALLY want this mod working on my website rebuild.

Thanks for the reply, Fillip... I've checked even using other browsers and it doesn't work on any of them.... NONE of the expand/collapse buttons work right (not just the Like/Thank mod ones)... they ALL now take you to the top of the page instead of expand/collapse what it's meant to do it to.

What is the actual code you used for the expand/collapse function?
Maybe it somehow got messed up by another mod... if I know what it is I could search for it and see if I can fix it!?!?!

Cheers,
Lisa

Like someone earlier wrote:

I am experiencing the same thing. I'm sure it is just one minor setting/fix, but what do I need to do?

I am running vb version 4.0.5.

I am superadmin, have set appropriate settings in 'Manage Buttons', selected user permissions.

Although, I do not see the available settings in Usergroup Manager like the screenshot says I should.

Thanks for your wonderful help.

There is nothing in Usergroup Manager, it's in the left side menu under DBTech - Post Thanks -> Button Management

OK, Fillip, thanks... but what about this part:

"when I click a Like, Thanks, etc. nothing happens."

Everything appears to be installed correctly, but then when I click any of the options, nothing happens.

What can do to fix this?

Thanks.
