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.

Here, if you've applied the mod previously. Try this. I haven't had a chance to do much testing, but I just slapped those changes and it seems to be working. Once rated, the box will no longer display.

Let me know if that fixes it.

FIND:

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
<if condition="$show['ratethread']">

REPLACE WITH:

<if condition="!$show['rating'] AND $show['threadrating'] AND $show['ratethread']">

FIND:

</script>
</if>
</if>

REPLACE WITH:

</script>
</if>

Hmm... well, magnus idea hides the box, but it's similar to the results I got, only one vote allowed.

I'll play with this and let you know if I get some results XD

[magnus]

Ah, so the problem you're saying is that only 1 person can vote. I'll look at that.

[magnus]

Ok, I see the problem people are having. I started off trying to fix it, and it looks more like I'm rewriting it. So let's see how this winds up and what we're left with..

[obmob]

Yeah, we should allow more votes, don't you think?

I was unable to make it work, thanks!

[hirlas]

:up: works great, easy install,

thank you for your hard work!

[jGas]

is it possible to install it not in the showthread but inside the first post?

Or, atleast I will prefer to put it after the First post.

[Thomas P]

Great, will give it a try.

Does this fully support the permission and option settings?

[MissKalunji]

what permissions are those?
