Any suggestions how to correct it would be much appreciated.


Also how would or could I change the word groan to another word of my choice. ?

you can edit temp "post_groan_button"

<a href="post_groan.php?$session[sessionurl]do=post_groan_add&amp;p=$post[postid]&amp;securitytoken=$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" id="post_groan_button_$post[postid]"<if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_groan_give($post[postid], <if condition="$vboptions[post_groan_integrate]">true<else />false</if>);"</if> <if condition="$display_groan_image == 'none'">style="display:none"</if> rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/post_groan.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_groan_groan]" border="0" /></a>

For those who may try to use this on PHP 5.6.0 (or higher) and VB 3.8.11, you need to make some manual file edits to the /includes/functions_post_groan.php

Thanks to vbem2 who figured out the file edits for the Post Thank You mod here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...95#post2586995

But basically you open the file in a code editor.

FIrst look for:

		if ($postids)
		{
			$post_ids = "0$postids";
		}
		else
		{
			$post_ids = $postid;
		}

and replace it with

		if (empty($postids))
		{
			$postids[] = $postid;
		}

Next search for:

(" . $post_ids . ")

And replace it with

(" . implode(',', $postids) . ")

There should be 2 instances of the above.


That seems to do it for me.
