Post Ranking System
by FullyTested
This product does not modify any VB MySQL tables and thus can be used by all forums regardless of whether they have three thousand posts or three million posts in their database.
Also, no manual template edits.
In A Nutshell:
This product provides the ability to track the quality of post contributions made by your registered members.
Each member's rank totals may be displayed (and are searchable) via the postbit template and/or public profile page.
Each post may be ranked 'up' (+1 point) or 'down' (-1 point) by your registered members. Each member may only do this once per post.
This is done via AJAX if the viewer's browser has JavaScript enabled, or via a link, if not.
Once a post has reached a certain point threshold (value is set via AdminCP), it's rank changes accordingly.
All posts start as 'Neutral'.
Positively ranked posts may have their rank changed to 'Highly Ranked' or 'Highest Ranked'.
Negatively ranked posts may have their rank changed to 'Lowly Ranked' or 'Lowest Ranked'.
Whenever a post has its rank changed, the post creator has his/her rank totals updated accordingly.
Available Options:
Rank threshold values may be changed at any time., Rank totals are then updated accordingly.
Each rank can have it's own text colour.
Each user has the option to have 'Lowest' ranked posts hidden in a collapsed state (same as the ignore postbit). This option is turned on via the User CP thread display options.
Each user has the option to have 'Highest' ranked posts highlighted to destinguish them from the rest of the posts in the thread. This option is turned on via the User CP thread display options.
Ability to globally force the above highlighted/hidden posts on all users.
Option to have extremely lowly ranked posts auto 'soft' deleted. If post is subsequently undeleted, it's rank will revert to 'Neutral'.
Ability to email mods upon auto deletion of a post.
Selection of usergroups that may not rank posts.
Selection of usergroups who's posts cannot be ranked.
Exclude specific forums from post ranking.
Ability to include/exclude rank name ('Highest Ranked') in postbit
Ability to include/exclude rank score (+10/-5) in postbit
Display user's post rank totals within the postbit template.
Display user's post rank totals within the public profile page.
Search for posts of a certain rank, which belong to a specific member, via the postbit or public profile page.
Display total count, and search for, posts of a certain rank via the 'Post Ranking System' menu in AdminCP.
Manage votes by User or Post via Admin CP.
Statistics page where top posts and top posters are displayed. This page may be limited certain usergroups.
Ability to set a cut-off date (in days). Posts older than x number of days cannot be ranked.
Accountable Actions
Post delete (soft and physical) // rank totals decrement
Post undelete // rank totals increment
Post mergers // rank totals decrement as post may no longer reflect original content on which it was ranked
Thread delete (soft and physical) // rank totals decrement
Thread undelete // rank totals increment
User mergers // ranks transferred to new user
User delete // voted upon post ranks updated., tables cleared of said user
To Install:
Please see the 'ReadMe' file for installation instructions.
Installing this mod should take no longer than 5 minutes.
Version 2.5
Fixed small bug with the stats page.
Added the ability to have the score and rank images display in a separate line when default setting is to not have the thread title in every post.
The following files have changed:
- postrankstats.php (please re-FTP to your server)
- product_postrank.xml (please re-import with 'Allow Overwrite' selected)

version 1.9
Added multiple search features via the admin cp
You can now search by rank, by post, or by percentile (ie. those who always vote 'down' 80% of the time)
UPGRADING:
For versions LOWER than 1.5, follow the install instructions.
For versions HIGHER than 1.5:
1). re-FTP admincp/postrank.php to your server
2). re-FTP includes/xml/cpnav_postrank.xml to your server
3). re-import the product with 'Allow Overwrite' selected
Are you talking about the figures that show up when you click the view stats link?
If so, then those only change when a post reaches a rank threshold value.
1. Would be Nice for Users to be Able to Change their Votes. (I think this is Important, in case someone Voted by Mistake Choosing the Wrong Option).
2. Would be Nice to have an Option to Choose/Write Which Usergroups Can See the Mod, (on Postbit, on User Profile, and Other Places the Mod Works), so that Resources can be Saved. (I'd like Only Registered Users and other Usergroups of Members of my Forums to be able to see the Mod, and Not Unregistered Visitos, to Save Resources).
- When Choosing to Hide Very Low Ranked Posts they are Hidden From Registered Users, but NOT From UnRegistered Users (Visitors); for Visitors the Posts Appear Extended and Not Collapsed.
- Also When Choosing to Highlight Very High Ranked Posts they are Highlighted For Registered Users, but NOT For UnRegistered Users (Visitors); for Visitors the Posts Appear Normal and Not Highlighted.
- When Leaving Highlight Color (message and/or username area) Blank (with no Hex Value), then those Areas Appear with a Neutral Color, Not the (Alt1 or Alt2 CSS Color) ; it'd be Nice that if Leaving Any or Both of this Fields Blank, the Mod Uses the Original Alt1 and/or Alt2 to be Used on the Postbits that are to be Highlighted.
