Show Thread Enhancements - vB.org Rating System Replica

I applogize for releasing this modification again for a second time. The initial thread has gone insane and literally doubles and triples ALL of my posts each time I have responded to the thread. I am not certain why, but it only occurs in that thread, so here we go again. lol

This modification will replicate the rating system found here on vBulletin.org. There is currently a release by Magnus out there that does some of this.

This version functions just like vb.orgs.

If you wish to see how this will appear, you can view the top of any page where there is a thread here on the .org. That rating box is what you will be installing.

I mean no disrespect to Magnus for releasing this modification. (It isn't his code, but he released something very similar.) I wanted to be able to support it and update the thread as needed.

New Updated File Includes The Corrections To Make The Change Voting Work.

[Rich]

thunder_sti: This uses the default rating system that vbulletin supplies. The difference is in how the results and voting process are displayed. To create an image rating system, which there are several image systems for free on the org, you would need something different.

You could take one of the free image galleries on this site that allows for rating of the images and do a rewrite to have it display the voting results consistent with that of "Hot or Not".

MissKalunji: In order to move it like you want to, I believe it would require additional plugins to change where it is displayed. I am only on for a few minutes, and will try to get to looking into placement issues tomorrow. There are no guarantees, but I will look.

djdonx: Yes, that is something that could be incorporated. It isn't something I intended on adding, but I did write the idea down for the upgraded version of this mod I may be writing. I have a few other ideas as well.

Stoebi: That could easily be done but would serve no actual functionality. The only person who would see that would be the person who voted in that thread. The search engines wouldn't see it for seo reasons because that would only display if the person had voted. If you really want to have it anyways, shoot me a PM and I will send you how to accomplish it. It will serve no purpose though since only the person who voted would see it.

I am going to be looking into the thread rating in new posts as well as the vote changing.

Thanks for the reply.

Installed and working great.

Get well soon Rich and keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for the great mod.

Is it possible to change 'rate this thread' to 'help others by rating'? I'm new to VB. In the script I see "$vbphrase[rate_this_thread]". Seems that I need to change the value of rate_this_thread. Could anybody let me know where I can change the value?

TIA.

Hello,

In the acp:

Choose Languages and Phrases > Search In Phrases > (search for text) rate_this_thread and choose Phrase Variable Name Only at the bottom and click find. Now click edit and enter what you want it to say and hit save. You just changed the phrase. You can do that for any phrase btw.

Sevilah, In the future, if you have a question, please ask it. Simply adding a picture with a bunch of question marks will typically get you no where.

I am going to assume that you want the average text displayed beside the results. If that is the case, simply do this:


SHOWTHREAD Template:

Find:

<span id="threadrating_current"><if condition="$show['rating']">$vbphrase[rating]: <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" border="0" /></if></span>

Replace with:

<span id="threadrating_current" class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['rating']"><strong>$vbphrase[rating]:</strong> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" border="0" />&nbsp;&nbsp;(<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>)</if></span>

In the above code, the smallfont class added to the opening span is optional.

Now you need to edit the phrase: thread_rating_x_votes_y_average in the acp and remove the "Thread Rating:" portion of it and save it.

Maybe that's how Sevilah rates the mod
