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!

  • Search for all thanked posts

I love the way that the thanks info is displayed in a separate box under the post. However, it was not being displayed with the same table border as the post itself.
I fixed this by editing post_thanks_postbit_legacy (or post_thanks_postbit if you use that style)
from (near the top)
Quote:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
to
Quote:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
which now makes the thanks info look correct.
Example

Ace hack - hope the feedback helps. :up:

Apologies if this has already been asked, 124 pages is a lot to read through hehe. But I was wondering if there's a way to make the thankyou box only appear after say 2 or 3 separate people have thanked the post? I'm wanting to use the hack to highlight the outstanding posts on my forum, and a couple of people seem the be very thankful for all sorts of things. I'd like it so that if the thank you box doesn't show until multiple people have said thanks for it.

Hi,

I have uploaded all the files, but when it comes to importing the xml via Manage Products, I'm greeted with a blank page instead of confirmation that the product has been installed. Can anyone help please?

Did a recounter and still having the issue

Please help
I also have this problem.
Here's a fix a member of my board came up with. Hope it helps someone:
"it seems that there were empty arrays (i.e. lists of items) being passed to the function that generated the warning message. Honestly, I have no idea where these arrays were coming from or whether it is even all right for them to be empty - but I've asked the function not to try to process such arrays in future.

See board/includes/functions_post_thanks.php

After line 182
Code:
  //seems to be a problem when $thanks has no rows - so let's patch the problem
  //I have no idea about the underlying causes of this problem.
  if ($number_rows > 0)
  {
  //</SLB
	  foreach ($thanks AS $thank)
	  {
		  if ($cmpt<$number_rows)
		  {
			  $virg=",";
		  }
		  else
		  {
			  $virg="";
		  }

		  if (show_thanks_date($forumid))
		  {
			  $date_thank = vbdate($vbulletin->options['dateformat'], $thank['date'], true);
		  }

		  eval('$liste_user .= " ' . fetch_template('post_thanks_box_bit') . '";');
		  $cmpt++;
	  }
  } //

Thanks for the great MOD.

I just installed and did a few tests.

One thing I noticed is that if you delete a thread that contains posts that were given "Thanks", that user's Thanked count is not decreased.

For example, it will still say:

Quote:
Thanked 2 Times in 1 Post
even when that 1 post has been deleted.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is there a fix or a workaround for this?

This is most likely due to your server being upgraded to run PHP version 5... read the following:
