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.

I dont have the code I tested it with but if I have time I'll see if I can reproduce it.

I think it is because I installed 6.1, but upon realizing my templates weren't updated I replaced the files and installed 6.0 on top of it. Should I just wipe everything and reinstall freshly or is there something else I should do to fix it?

thanks

I dont really know what could be producing this. Try to make sure everything is edited right. Also, if you want to uninstall and re-install, make a backup of the post_thanks table and import it after you re-install. Run the recounters after.

I love this hack. Can I make a suggestion?

You could do a Post Hug hack...I got a lot of members who love to give hugs to support people who are having a bad day...it could have a hug smilie in the button instead of the thanks thumb...

You can change the image and edit the templates and phases as you wish.

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

Thanks for this hack. Great

Works on vb 3.6.7 (in non default skin) I must add $template_hook to postbit and memberinfo but works great

Best

[m6747]

this hack works great... one quick question.

How can I get the template edits on a skin I installed after I installed this hack?

Thanks

The button does not show up at all. Any help with this would be much appriciated. I am running 3.6.7 pl and I ran the template hook fix and it is still missing. Any help would be much appriciated
