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.

Features:
  • Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
  • Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.
  • Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
  • Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
  • Places all Thanks into one small box
  • Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
  • Users can't thank twice
  • Option to not allow users to thank their own post
  • Guests don't see 'thanks' button
  • Counts how many thanks a user gives
  • Counts how many thanks a post gets
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile
  • Shows how many thanks a user got
  • Shows how many posts or a user are thanked
  • Shows info in profile
  • Search for a users thanked posts
  • Search for all thanked posts
  • Administrator can remove all Thanks from a single post
  • Users can remove their own Thanks
  • Turn on and off hack totally
  • Turn on and off hack for only some forums
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread in specific forums
  • Option to turn off hack view of date for specific or all forums
  • Option to add to post count when someone clicks 'thanks'.

I've tryied to search the thread, the whole boards and the internet for a Spanish version of the default button, but I haven't succeed (damn, I thought I'd have better search skills after all those years ).

So I went ahead and used the vBulletin 3 Graphics Developers Kit to do it by myself (my first go at photoshop, so don't be rude):

Great Hack!

Here's a minor but useful tweak suggestion: (excuse me if its already been mentioned)

I'd like to see the memberinfo bit in the postbit where is says "Thanked X times for Y posts" (or something like that) be a link to all their posts that have been thanked!

Thanks!!
Barry

Thanks! (Where's that Thanks button when you need it? I presume I can just steal this code and use it as a link in the member info. Thanks again!

Sometimes it can be messy if 100+ people who Thank a poster have their username shown in the post.
Is it possible to only add the number of Thanks in postbit/postbit_legacy, and a link on that number where it will lead to a page where it will show who thanked.

This is a great hack

I have this hack installed together with the 'link hiding hack' and it's working 100% but there is just one small add-on function i want this hack to do.

I want it to bump the thread when someone press thank you

How would i be able to do so ?

Great Hack Abe1!! :up:

In case this Serves to Someone, the Reason Why You Get Duplicate Buttons and Thank You Posts, is because of the Double Edit of the Templates; once you install the Hack (at least on 3.6.7 PL1), the Product Modify all the Templates, and if you Include the Modifications on the "Template Edits for Custom Styles" File, then You'll be Duplicating the Presented Info!!

Verify the Templates before Applying any Change on them!!

My Best Regards!! :up:
