<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread']">
        <div style="text-align:left; padding-bottom: 5px;">
        <span id="oneclick_container">
        <noscript>$vbphrase[rating]:</noscript>

Technical comments:
Uses AJAX but will fall back to submitting the form first, or if that fails it will use <noscript> tags to display submit buttons. The fallback methods are not thoroughly tested so, if you are able, please test them and report any problems you have.

Template comments:
Be careful about moving the HTML block around because it will fail if it becomes nested inside of another form.

Recommendations after installing:
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Allow Thread Rating Vote Changes" to No
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Required Thread Rating Votes to Show Rating" to 1 (this will hopefully encourage the use of thread ratings)
- install the Thread-Ratings on Search mod which was written for 3.5.x but is compatible with 3.6.x. ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106853 )
- modify the threadrate_add phrase, In Languages & Phrases under "Search in Phrases," do a search for 'Your vote on this thread has been added' and modify it to say something more friendly/humorous

Are you a designer?
maybe you can make the HTML chunk more asthetically pleasing with images or CSS

changelog:
0.1 - initial release
0.1.1 - define JS threadid which may or may not be defined later in the page


Read this before posting
If you want to tell me what error(s) you receive, please do the following:
1. Make sure you DO NOT put the HTML chunk inside of another form it will not work at all if you do this. Please make sure it is after the $poll variable.
2. If you think the error is JS related and you are using Firefox, click Tools > Console then the Errors tab, clear it out first, then try doing the thread rating, Right-click and copy the errors related that show for your forum.
3. You did not upload the JavaScript file to the proper location

READ THIS: Set "Check Thread Rating" to Yes in vBulletin Options under "Thread Display Options (showthread)"

Tested on IE6, worked for me.

@tutorials.de: Did you solve the problem that the answer after voting is not formated properly?

After voting the whole format disappears and only the text is shown on the forum background
"Thank you for voting blabla".

From the looks of your code you did not solve that problem either, or am I wrong?

See attachments for my problem.

Does anyone has a solution for this?

[Digitalus]

Edite....

[encryption]

does anyone notice that the mod kinda slows the page load (esp when opening a thread)?

[StarBuG]

@Digitalus

Your suggestion can't work because you say:

"if rating is on" do nothing

But the table you create at the bottom is only for the rating itself, the problem with

<span id="oneclick_threadrating_response"></span>
<span id="oneclick_threadrating_current"></span>

displaying the text on the forum background without the div/table is not solved

But thanks for trying

[Jay...]

any update on a re-design of this? Just like i have requested on the first page of the thread. Thanks

[Jay...]

anyone?

[Jay...]

bump it

[valdet]
