[Release v2] In-Thread Rating

Withdrawn cause it's in the next version.

Hi, the hack doesn't seem to work.

I'm confused when I have to make changes to misc.php
You said I have to add $threadratingoption right above $attachmentoption.

So, I looked around and added $threadratingoption inside the newreply template.

PHP Code:

</tr>
$threadratingoption
$attachmentoption
</table> 


Which misc.php are you talking about here?
/forums/misc.php or /forums/admin/misc.php

Also, where can I find newreply_threadrate template? You didn't provide instructions on how to create this template.

Thanks for helping!

probably just

/forums/misc.php

cause the admin one should have different functions used mainly or only in the admin folder.

This is a great idea!

I feel that not enough people use the current thread rating system because it doesn't stand out enough.

There was a little mess up in the install file...it's now fixed. Sorry for the confusion. That should actually go in the newreply template - one place it said misc.php, the other place it said newreply template.

root/misc.php, which would be the misc.php in your main vB folder.

This should be automatically created when you install. If you go to Templates > Modify and look under Custom Templates you should see one named newreply_threadreate.

I don't quite get the full idea of this hack, you wouldnt happen to have a demo, or be able to snap a screenshot for me could ya tubedogg?

There still seems to be install problems with this.

The new template you add is called: newreply_ratethread

But your code calls to: newreply_threadrating

It also added the template into templatesetID of 10. My default templatesetID is 1...I'm not sure if mine is different than anyone elses.

I changed the code around to adjust for the template name but it still does not give the option to rate the thread in the reply yet.

Also...Misc.php is no longer included in the instructions. I;m not sure if it is supposed to be but I saw in the posts above talk about it.

Any ideas?

Lessee here...

1. You are correct. It should call newreply_ratethread since the template is named that.

2. The templatesetid was messed up cause I never changed it back after testing. Run this query:
UPDATE template SET templatesetid=1 WHERE title='newreply_ratethread'

3. misc.php shouldn't be part of anything. I realized that after I took it out of the file.

I've uploaded an updated install file. Sorry about the problems.
