Importer from Abe's Thanks mod (vB3 / vB4) and vBSEO "Likes" now available in Lite version!


Major Features: Lite

Require a Button Click: Allows you to hide the content of a post, or hie an attachment, until the person clicks a button on the post.

Statistics: Shows the top 5 people for; Giving / Receiving button clicks.

Collapsable postbit stats: Shows how many button clicks a person has given, received etc in the postbit. Admins can determine what statistics can show in the postbit to control sizes etc. The postbit is also collapsable.

Admin Permissions: Control things such as who can click buttons, require button clicks, what shows in postbit, what options can run concurrently, per forum permisions etc.

Reputation: Add / Remove Reputation for each of your button clicks.

Notifications: Receive alerts when a member clicked on one of the buttons for one of your posts.

Import Thanks: Import script to import "thanks" from Abe's [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack on vBulletin.org. It will work with both vB3 and vB4 versions of this mod.

Import Likes: Import script to import "likes" from vBSEO.


Major Features: Pro

Infinite Buttons: Ability to create new buttons to press! No longer do you need to be limited by Thanks / Like / Dislike.

Auto Collapse Posts: Collapses a post so it doesnt show up by using a formulae for button clicks of your choosing.

User Postbit Config: Lets users decide what postbit stats they want to see.

Additional permissions: Un-click a button. Control how many stats show on the statistics page, set permissions per subforum.

Integrated Controls: You can now integrate the button clicking controls into the post footer, like many of you requested.

Buttons in First Post Only: This allows you to only make the first post thankable. If you forum is based around news, releases or anything similar this will allow your users to easily see the quality of the thread in question.

Button Click Anonymity: This feature will be extremely helpful to forums who like the idea of a "dislike" button, but don't like the drama it brings. Now you can set certain buttons to be anonymous - no one will see who clicked.

Post Colour Thresholds: Ever wanted an easy way for members to tell if a post is helpful or trash? Colour thresholds let you change the colour of posts depending on how many clicks of a button they receive.

Is there a way to change the order of pressed button clicks which are shown in the block for button clicks in postbit?
They are sorted by date, oldest first. I'd like to have it reversed. Means the last who clicked should be always shown first.

To add it as a new option where the user can change the display order in the block for button clicks would be great.

If not a code modification to reverse the display order which I could apply myself would be nice, also.

Thanks on advance.

I just installed the lite version and like it. I may even get the pro version later on
I do have 1 question. I would like to know if and how, to place the thanks/like buttons in a different location rather than having a block at the bottom of every post?
For example:
As in this site next to post#
footbar of the posts or post bit

I saw this info somewhere but now can't find it

Thank you

Thank you

@MarkFL was helping me with this then my partner surprised me with the Pro version tonight. I wish I knew a way to "thank" him here for going out of his way to help

[nolimitreef]

My images aren't showing. Only boxes with 0 in them. Does anyone know what I did wrong? This is pro version.

8 hours later, and trying every possible combination, and still no import has worked, also trying to get the 'click for attachment' to work without success

It says 4. Configure your Usergroup settings by clicking "Manage Buttons" under
"DBTech - Post Thanks" in your AdminCP navigation menu, then
editing each button and setting your usergroup permissions from there.

I did everything, changed the CHMOD to 0777 - And it shows this:

No errors installing, nothing...
