Automatic 'Thank you' Hack

Total hack's description : http://www.vbulletindev.net/forums/h...hack&hackid=49

Site : http://www.vbulletindev.net/forums


You can set in wanted forums with this hack, an option which displays in a special post of a thread, the list of members who clicked the 'Thank you' button. So, instead of having a lot of posts saying : 'Great', 'Big thx ' ... you only have one post.

The postbit (legacy or not) automatically adapts itself too.

The phrase to thank the thread creator change if there is one user or more which clicks the button, so the verb is always correct
There is an other option too in Forum manager, to set if you want to see at which date the 'Thank you' button was clicked by the member.

Eventual bugs :Correct with it

[VBDev]

@dirtymerc vbmenu_register("postmenu_494851", true); : For the phrase repeated twice, it's the problem I had with conditional in templates, but when I fix it in PHP files, it seems to work, I look at it

Yes, ajoutes en dessous, mean add under

An edit button, no and I don't will do it, you don't choose if a user thanks or not

I look for other problems too

[Boofo]

How about the button that says Thank you! ?

[VBDev]

To remove the sentence repeated twice, replace the thanks_postbit with :

PHP Code:

 $spacer_open
<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">
<table class="tborder" id="post$post[postid]" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" $scrolltothis>
<div class="normal" style="float:$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
</div>
 
<div class="normal">
<!-- status icon and date -->
<a name="post$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/post_old.gif" alt="$post[statustitle]" border="0" /></a>
 
    $post[postdate], $post[posttime]</if>
     $post[firstnewinsert]
<!-- / status icon and date -->
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2" style="padding:0px">
<!-- user info -->
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellpadding]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td nowrap="nowrap">
 
    <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
     $username     </div>     
</td>
<td width="100%">&nbsp;</td>
<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap"> 
<font class="smallfont"><div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $vboptions[bbtitle]</font></div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / user info -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">
<!-- message, attachments, sig --> 
<!-- icon and title -->
<div class="smallfont">
    <img class="inlineimg" src="images/icons/icon1.gif" alt="Post" border="0" />
<strong>$vbphrase[thanks_title]</strong>
</div>
<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
<!-- / icon and title -->
 
<!-- message -->
<div>$liste_user $thank_phrase
<br /><br /></div>
<!-- / message --> 
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
$spacer_close
<!-- / post #$post[postid] --> 


And the thanks_postbit_legacy with :

PHP Code:

 $spacer_open
<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal" $scrolltothis> 
<!-- status icon and date -->
<a name="post$post[postid]"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/post_old.gif" alt="$post[statustitle]" border="0" /></a>
    $post[postdate], $post[posttime]</if>
$post[firstnewinsert]
<!-- / status icon and date -->    
</td>
<td class="thead" style="font-weight:normal" align="$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td class="alt2" width="175">
 
$username 
<div class="smallfont">
    &nbsp;<br />
    <div>$vbphrase[location_perm]: $vboptions[bbtitle]</div>                                </div>     
 
</td>
<td class="alt1">
<!-- icon and title -->
<div class="smallfont">
    <img class="inlineimg" src="$post[iconpath]" alt="images/icons/icon1.gif" border="0" />
    <strong>$vbphrase[thanks_title]</strong>
</div>
<hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
<!-- / icon and title --> 
<!-- message -->
<div>$liste_user $thank_phrase
 
<br /><br /></div>
 
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt2">
&nbsp;
</td>
<td class="alt1" align="$stylevar[right]">
&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>
$spacer_close
<!-- / post #$post[postid] --> 


I had corrected it in the legacy but forgot the other one

@calvin : where do you get this no_permission screen ? If you have it when you click the button Thanks, it's coz you are not logged in
Prefix : look in your config.php, $prefix=... you have to add in my SQL queries, the prefix before tables name

I update the zip

Edit boofo : I do your button now

[Martyjp]

I saw this on an ipb the other day and thought how useful it would be to have on this site

[VBDev]

Zip updated

Boofo, the new button is in the zip

[Boofo]

I forgot to ask, sorry. If a user clicks the button more than once on other visitis to the site, it won't add their name again will it? It should only show the first time they click it. Does it already do this?

[VBDev]

Yes boofo it already does this

If a user clicked twice (or more) the button, after the first time, he will get an error message saying he has already thanked for this thread.

Unregistered members can not thank too

[Boofo]

Thank you very much. Wouldn't it be easier if the thank you button didn't show up for unergistered users, also?

[VBDev]

If you want

Just add a conditional in the showthread template on this button so

PHP Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[userid]!=0">...button ...</if> 


[Boofo]

LOL I was going to do that but I didn't know if you wanted to updated the install file with it, too. Excellent job, my friend. Clciking install and installing.
