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.

You must include $template_hook[postbit_controls] in your postbit and legacy templates, read the Template Edits for Custom Styles.txt inside the zip guys, for some reason me I didnt have to do theses changes, the product install added it for me but he did put the instructions in the txt I guess in the case the product install didnt changed your templates.

I have installed the hack and it works on my default style forum perfectly however we dont use that we use a second style forum.

It shows up on profile, adds to reps okay etc all functions fine - except theres no button in the posts to click ??

Any ideas. I have been through the instruction edit templates file and done that.

The only bit I cant find is

<if condition="$show['infraction']"><div>$vbphrase[infractions]: $post[warnings]/$post[infractions] ($post[ipoints])</div></if>

in postbit and postbit legacy

so havent pasted

$template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]

in.

I assume this is the problem ?

[class101]

The variable to control de button is $template_hook[postbit_controls]

me I have it setup that way in my postbit template:

div style="margin-top: 10px" align="$stylevar[right]">
			<!-- controls -->
$template_hook[postbit_controls]
			<if condition="$post['editlink']">
				<img style="display: none" id="progress_$postid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/progress.gif" alt="$vbphrase[loading_editor_please_wait]" />

This put it to the left of the edit button instead of to the full right which is not a really visible position

[5th-Level]

i mean instead of it saying Thanks: 0
Thanked X in X posts

i wanted make it so that it says

Thanks:
Thanked:

Hi, Thanks for your advice, worked a treat putting the code below instead of above. My only other problem is with:

find:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
<!-- post $post[postid] popup menu -->
--------------------------------------------------------------------

place BEFORE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
$template_hook[postbit_end]
--------------------------------------------------------------------

By doing this it ends up looking massive as shown in the attatchement. Ive tried moving the code around but without any luck. Heres a section of my code before and after:

<if condition="$show['redcard']">
<a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/redcard.gif" alt="$vbphrase[received_infraction]" border="0" /></a>
<else />
<if condition="$show['yellowcard']">
<a href="infraction.php?$session[sessionurl]do=view&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/yellowcard.gif" alt="$vbphrase[received_warning]" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</if>
<!-- / controls -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<!-- post $post[postid] popup menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="thead">$post[username]</td>
</tr>
<if condition="$show['profile']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$vbphrase[view_public_profile]</a></td></tr>
</if>
<if condition="$show['pmlink']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="private.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newpm&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[send_private_message_to_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>

Ive removed it for the moment until hopefully im able to get this bit sorted. So close to getting it working!

Any help really is greatly appreciated.

Recounters or deletion of all user thanks on ACP is not working. Kindly check on that. I have a banned member who abuses the thanks system and i couldnt mass remove his thanks given. We're using vb 3.6.8

Nice hack!

Where do it try to pull the image from? Instead of the Image I have Thanks. I think I put the image in all my Styles.

Nvm I just changed the directory to pull the Image from the main Image Folder.
