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. Members can now see at a glance whether or not a post is helpful, interesting or pointless.

I did everything and it worked great but how do I enable this? I can't find it on my Admin CP, though it says the plugin is imported on the Installed Products.

Please add yourself to Super Administrators in config.php

Fatal error: Class 'DBTech_Install' not found in /home/operaliv/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_plugin.php(931) : eval()'d code on line 15

I repeated all the steps, overwriting all the files. Same result.

Help, please

Are you using a custom product manager? If so, please revert to using vBulletin's.

Fatal error: Class 'THANKS' not found in /home/havoc/public_html/Forums/dbtech/thanks/actions/admin/button.php on line 34

Any help with this is appreciated.

[DragonByte Tech]

The solution can be found on the previous page of this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...18#post2274018

Another solution is to change the execution order of the broken mod's admin_global plugin to 65535, though this may still cause problems with other mods so I recommend disabling the mod outright

Yea i got it working after disabling that Thanks man

second error message, when I click on a post:

OH, there's something. I didn't do the thanksimport.php step.
I see it there. It has 0 bytes, though. If I open it, it shows "empty."
How do I run it? I see it with my FTP client but I don't know how to run it.
Is it what is causing the error?

If not, is there a way to uninstall this mod without having to restore my entire database?

Your webhost is massively broken, there's nothing I can do to assist you unfortunately

I have never encountered this before and nobody else has reported a similar issue, usually 0 byte files means out of disk space.

To disable the mod, add

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


to config.php and then disable it from the plugin manager.

I could be wrong but I think the documentation file included is for Activity and Awards not 'Thanks' ? :s

EDIT: Ugh? No unlike for lite version? Sorry guys uninstalled.. That's a pretty fundamental feature - May I suggest you do something like:

Lite = 1 button ("Like") non changeable - no new buttons. But you can like/dislike.

Pro = Make your own custom buttons (and any amount of them) etc.

Good mod just not something I'm willing to pay for the privilege of unliking in ._.

Thanks anyway
