Post Thank You Hack 7.4

About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

This is what is an example of what is displayed in peoples posts,



Why are so many Thanks listed all crazy like that in everyones posts?

Also another problem is it will show several Thank You icons under one post to click, like 3, 4, 5 or even 11 thank you icons that you can click. There is something seriously wrong. Can anyone help?

I am running Vbulletin 3.6.7 PL1

I have had to disable my Thank You Hack on my forum and it was my favourite plugin

I just came here for the same reason!

I'm uninstalling, I can't wait around to see if it can be fixed. The list just gets longer and longer with every post.

Ok slap me now. I see the fix and uploaded it. Yup works good now. Sorry about all that.

Ok ... here u go.

What you need:
1. WinMerge (to compare two different templates (your template and default [you may use other program])
2. two files (*.txt) (default.txt and custom.txt you may wish called other name it's your decision)

Now I go to admincp (./admincp/index.php) and search the templates called (postbit(_legacy), memberinfo)
Now I copy and paste all the template (postbit(_legacy) to my custom.txt
There is small button "show Default" or somthing like that (click it)
Copy and paste default template to my default.txt

Now I run WinMerge and add this two file to winmerge becouse we must compare two different files
You must search this phrase "$template_hook*" from default.txt and add in the same place in custom.txt

If u do that u may copy and paste your custom.txt to your template called postbit(_legacy)

Do it the same with memberinfo template.

When you do this it should work correctly

Best Regards
Sorry for my english

I have the same problem with this. It works fine on default style, but not custome style. It only appear in memberinfo. It didn't appear in postbit.

Would you please show us how to solve this problem. We don't mind if we have to edit template to make it work. . I really love this hack.
