vBFeedback

In my gaming site I wanted to add a type of standalone feedback section for each member sort of like a guestbook or a thread. Now I couldn't find a guestbook system that I liked until I came across the built in usernote system. While at first I thought of just using this, I wanted to also use the usernote system for the reason it was built for. So instead I modified and made a new script based on the usernote system which I'm calling vBFeedback. So basically this will allow you to give your members the ability to leave feedback for each other.

There are 9 screnshots included for you to see what this small hack will do. Please do remember if you choose to use this hack that it is as is. The codes not the greatest so if you know a better way of doing something please do let me know. Also IF I have time let me know of any problems with the hack and I'll try to find the problem since I'm trying to get all the bugs out for my site. Oh and if you find this useful do click on install and yes ... one more thing, enjoy! :nervous:

Just a simple question to the developer of this hack or others that want to help. I'm a little confused as to all what this hack can do but here is a simple question.

Does this hack works like the ebay's feedback system? I want all users to be able to view other users' feedbacks even if they are not logged in. I see some comments about usergroups, that are confusing me. I have sort of like an auction site in vbulletin and need a good feedback system.

Hi

I ?m working on a site for an international non-profit organization. The online community will be key, and so we?re looking at various ways to incorporate member to member feedback into the site. Before beginning this research, we planned a hack that we thought might do the trick. It?s outlined below. However, we would like to ask if you all think that other, existing hacks-like this one- might be equally/more functional. Anyway here was our idea:

First, one would create a forum exclusively for positive feedback.
The hack would then:

1) Create a new thread for each user upon registration. The thread could be named after the user in some standard format. (amykhar already did this, it seems: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...light=feedback Would her hack work as part of this scheme?)
2) Paste the URL for that user?s feedback thread directly into his/her signature, perhaps just after ?Feedback at:?

We thought this might be a very elegant way to incorporate feedback into VB, as the forum?s features would very functional. For example:

It would be easy to click from a users post to his/her feedback thread, because the link would be in the signature. Likewise, it would be easy to jump to or from their profile, which would facilitate making contact.
Because the forum is only for positive feedback, ranking by post would have meaning.
Similarly, hot threads would point to people who have done a lot of good work recently.
The report bad post feature could be used to report the presence of negative feedback.
We?re assuming that everyone would subscribe to their own feedback thread and so would be automatically notified.

Thanks

Lucas, This hack will work perfectly for my needs, but I am having a bit of trouble getting the newly installed code to work properly. On step six in the manual I was unable to find the line of code in member.php:

}
else
{
	$show['feedbackposts'] = false;
}

So, I guessed. Right now it is just after the extra info panel info lines:

 // extra info panel
$show['extrainfo'] = false;

This evidently is not the correct placement for the code, but I have tried going through the code looking for the best option to no avail. Otherwise, the hack appears to be set up properly. Unfortunately, the missing part in the member.php file is a key piece.

I am using vb3.0.9. Any pointers on how to configure this correctly.

Thanks
Josh
