Post Thank You Hack

STAFF EDIT:
Note - The mod author has been unreachable for some time, but the vbulletin.org community has stepped up to provide a number of individual fixes over the years. ForceHSS, Hippy, and Seven Skins have all combined many of these fixes into product files.

ALL CREDIT STILL GOES TO ABE1 And this is still 'his' mod. Please still mark the mod as installed if you use any version of it.

That said so you don't need to apply a dozen + small fixes yourself you should consider downloading one of the updated packages below:

Hippy has one in this post.

AND / OR

ForceHSS has one in this post.

AND/OR

Seven Skins has one in this post.


- Original File Specs: post_thanks_7_82.zip (26.4 KB, 24844 downloads) - Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).
- There are five total patched versions available, some with and without the search fix - I've replaced the main file with the patched versions... please be sure to download and install the correct version, the main mod post contains links to additional information and patched files!
- If Abe1 returns he can request these packages be removed.


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.


Features:

• Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
• Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.
• Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
• Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
• Places all Thanks into one small box
• Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
• Users can't thank twice

• Counts how many thanks a post gets
• Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile
• Shows how many thanks a user got
• Shows how many posts or a user are thanked
• Shows info in profile
• Search for a users thanked posts
• Search for all thanked posts
• Administrator can remove all Thanks from a single post

What was wrong:
It was looking in an old table 'search' for the results. This no longer works.

What was fixed:
I have the initial SQL statement grab the thread IDs and post IDs:

PHP Code:

$posts = $db->query_read("
            SELECT postid, post.threadid as threadid 


Then, we need to throw them into an array:

PHP Code:

while ($post = $db->fetch_array($posts))
        {
            $orderedids[] = array("1", $post['postid'], $post['threadid']);
        } 


The old code is commented out in other areas.

Then, we need to create our query to match the way vB 4.x wants it.

PHP Code:

$scriteria = $search_core->create_criteria(vB_Search_Core::SEARCH_ADVANCED);
        $scriteria->set_advanced_typeid($vbulletin->GPC['contenttypeid']);
        $scriteria->set_grouped(vB_Search_Core::GROUP_NO);
        $crit = "'" . $db->escape_string(serialize($scriteria)) . "'";
        $hash = "'" . $db->escape_string($scriteria->get_hash()) . "'";
                    //results, confirmed, groups_seen, groups_rejected
        $sresults = serialize(array($orderedids, "0", array(), array()));
        $db->query_write("
            INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "searchlog (userid, ipaddress, searchhash, sortby, sortorder, searchtime, dateline, completed, criteria, results)
            VALUES (" . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . ", '" . $db->escape_string(IPADDRESS) . "', $hash, 'groupdateline', 'desc', '0.999', UNIX_TIMESTAMP(NOW()), 1, $crit, '$sresults')");
        $searchid = $db->insert_id(); 


We create our search criteria, serialize it and then get the hash of it. We then serialize our IDs. The way vB's results.php wants the results is ordered such as:

array of threadIDs/postIDs
number of 'confirmed' posts (No idea what this is, left it as 0).
array of groups seen (No idea on this, just make an empty array).
array of groups denied (Again, no clue. Just made an empty array).

We then insert the data into the searchlog table and use that to generate the search results. I also included some various files at the beginning and setup a variable for the whole search thing:

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . "/vb/search/core.php");
require_once(DIR . "/vb/search/resultsview.php");

$search_core = vB_Search_Core::get_instance(); 


That's it. Searching via User CP should work.

It finally works! (I am using legacy display mode).

(I have reverted the hack to abe1's original one before, replaced the post_thanks.php, edited the alignment to {vb:stylevar left}, and fixed the inline mod issue at post_thanks_box template)

A big thanks to channelfuse. :up::up::up:

Also for raicars reminding me to add / modify the 2 templates to get it finally to work. :up:

I am really grateful that I (we) still can use the original hack and don't have to go for a paid copy with more features I don't need at all.

Thanks to all who have contributed with useful solutions, I'm happy.
