[AJAX] Helpful Answers - Allow users to rate individual posts
Developer Last Online: Nov 2020
Every day your users contribute hundreds if not thousands of posts making it hard for new members and guests to separate out the best answers from those that are less helpful. The Helpful Answers System offers your members a quick way (AJAX) to rate individual posts as either helpful or not allowing future visitors to understand the benefits of each post.
Designed for maximum flexibility: This addon is built to be flexible and offers several customization options including:
Modification Installation: This addon requires uploading multiple files, installing a vBulletin product and enabling the feature in any forums you wish. No template modifications are required. Please see the included install file for detailed instructions. If you are not seeing the rating bar double check that you have enabled the feature in the forum you are in and insure the Manual Template override option is not enabled. Rating Review & Deletion: To identify and remove abuse a reporting system is included with this addon and can be found in your vBulletin ACP under the Helpful Answers tab. Through this panel you will be able to view a user's overall rating history and individual ratings and can remove either if necessary. Users can also be explicitly banned from the system. Reputation System Integration: Helpful Answers can be extended to directly tie into your reputation system giving users positive or negative points based on the ratings of their posts. There are numerous options on how to handle ratings that can be found in a separate Helpful Answers Reputation part of your vBulletin Settings page. Anonymous Stats Tracking (optional): vBulletin forums reach millions of consumers around the world yet little is known about their habits and opinions. This addon was released to the public out of requests but also to further the research of forum user's behaviors and actions through collecting the most basic data on thousands of sites. By default this addon will pass basic rating data (positive or negative) to a 3rd party site for statistical purposes. Only the most basic data is captured (the vote and your site name) and no user information or specific forum details are logged, not even an IP address. While you may disable this feature through the administrative options I ask that you consider leaving it in place to help this research effort and insure the continued support of the addon. The tracking feature uses the php library cURL on a 5 second timeout. If cURL is not installed this option is automatically disabled. History of this addon: This addon was originally developed for private use in 2006 for a site of mine but after getting several past clients requested requests and messages I decided to package it up for public release.

Oh ok Ted, now I understand better the Mod, so this one is like the Post Thank You Mod that the users will see if the post is helpful or not entering to the thread and see which ones there are helpful, right ?

Can someone please tell me where I can edit the hardcoded icon sizes and the <br> in front of the template? I did the manual template edit in my postbit_legacy and replaced the icons but the size is still set somewhere. I see the codes in the helpfulanswer_roll template but even after editing it nothing is changing.
Can someone help me find what I need to change? Thanks! |

The size is in the plugin code. Remove the variable and add your own img tags.

Is the helpfulanswers.php where I can view the stats and best posts? When I open that page I just get a blank white page.

1.8.3 Has been released.
This is a small bug fix which addresses two issues: - Fixes problems with the reputation module not working - Fixes problems with disabling negative voting and using different rating styles To update just upload the xml file to your Admin CP. No changes have been made to script files. |

Version 1.8.4 has been released which fixes an SQL bug. This bug was introduced in 1.8.3 when I used an old version of a query. Users who did not upload helpfulanswers.php will not be impacted.
To upgrade upload helpfulanswers.php. You can update the plugin file as well to change the version number although this is not required. |
