Show Thread Enhancements - SAPR: Advanced Post Rating system (ajax)

Seba's Advanced Post Rating (SAPR) system with ajax- beta 2.

What is it?
In short: this is the wet dream of every vb board owner

In big: This is much more!
This adds a thumbs up/down post rating system: youtube style.

But wait there's more!
It not only adds a post rating system that works with and without ajax, but it also adds options to filter posts (on-the-flow with javascript) based on that rating.

That way your users will be able to browse easier trough threads by setting a filter, which collapses posts under a certain rating.
It also will prevent users of flooding you're site with 3 word posts.

AND THERE'S STILL MORE! It also adds a system of 'good posts', you can set a value of what is considered as a good post, and if a post reaches this value, the author gets +1 on his good post score.
So you get to see: this user has 500 posts and 150 good posts.

AND IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH: it's also completely configurable through the admincp.

And if you download it now you also get a very nice installation guide!!

Reminder / read this
This product is still in beta stage and it can contain bugs, backup every thing you change.

Currently the rating only works with vb 3.7, in the future 3.5 and 3.6 will also be supported, but they will not have ajax rating.

This mod works best if you use the postbit template, for postbit_legacy the filtering has few effect as collapsing still leaves a lot of the post

The good posts system still needs further development, which will be done after this beta testing

This is not a supported product, I'll fix the bugs and continue to work on it, but I'll don't answer questions, never.

This hack had much potential but...

IMO opinion unsupported hacks should not be posted. Seriously. What's the point? I know I and most people do not have the time to surf through (in many cases) tons and tons of threads for possible fixes to problems. Most of the time unsupported mods just clutter up the mod area because people are constantly trying to bump a dead mod looking for help.

VB.org should seperate supported and non-supported mods. I'm aware it's unsupported, but if it's unsupported, and like in this case is obviously broken....it should be moved. Or archived.

[Stifmeister2]

When will you make 3.6.x version??

[maidos]

indeed very potentional hack but its just too bad this aint a stable release i just wish there was some coder here who would come to the rescue

[whitetigergrowl]

I doubt it will be released on other forum numbers. This one is unsupported. It happens a lot. Someone makes a hack that rocks on their forum..drop it on vb.org and elsewhere as unsupported....then leave. Doesnt always happen. But happen more time than not. Unless someone else picks this up or the oriinal coder fixes the issues, it's a dead stick.

[kafi]

Vb.org should have some "chip in" for each hack, which will be rewarding and also motivating to build and maintain add-ons.

Ok I have started a thread about CHIP IN box for mods.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to finish this. Some things in my private life came in between. I still want to make this stable, but it won't be soon (read= not in the first weeks)...

So if any coder wants to continue this, feel free to do so.

The problem with releasing mods here is that it works for your forum/server configuration, but then the problems begin with people for who it doesn't work. This debugging takes a lot more time than just making the mod.

thats sad butgood luck in ur private life

and also i started a thread asking if someone could continue themods, i hope u guys could drop by that thread and make ur request there aswell so coders can pay attention to that thread, the more replies the higher possibility some coder could pick up this awesome mods
