Show Thread Enhancements - SAPR: Advanced Post Rating system (ajax)

Seba's Advanced Post Rating (SAPR) system with ajax- beta 2.

What is it?
In short: this is the wet dream of every vb board owner

In big: This is much more!
This adds a thumbs up/down post rating system: youtube style.

But wait there's more!
It not only adds a post rating system that works with and without ajax, but it also adds options to filter posts (on-the-flow with javascript) based on that rating.

That way your users will be able to browse easier trough threads by setting a filter, which collapses posts under a certain rating.
It also will prevent users of flooding you're site with 3 word posts.

AND THERE'S STILL MORE! It also adds a system of 'good posts', you can set a value of what is considered as a good post, and if a post reaches this value, the author gets +1 on his good post score.
So you get to see: this user has 500 posts and 150 good posts.

AND IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH: it's also completely configurable through the admincp.

And if you download it now you also get a very nice installation guide!!

Reminder / read this
This product is still in beta stage and it can contain bugs, backup every thing you change.

Currently the rating only works with vb 3.7, in the future 3.5 and 3.6 will also be supported, but they will not have ajax rating.

This mod works best if you use the postbit template, for postbit_legacy the filtering has few effect as collapsing still leaves a lot of the post

The good posts system still needs further development, which will be done after this beta testing

This is not a supported product, I'll fix the bugs and continue to work on it, but I'll don't answer questions, never.

PHP Code:

worked for me

This hack has GREAT potential! See here for an example of how it should work. After someone posts on the forum the reader can 'Rate' his post. They should only be able to vote ONE time. Currently this hack has a big bug in that area If enough people give a post a negative rating (pre-set only by the admin) then that post is grayed out and collapsed with the message "This post does not meet board requirements" or a similar message. However, once a post has met the Admins pre-set settings for collapsing, readers can still read the post if they wish by clicking on a link to open it and read it.

Even though this hack has some major bugs we've still nominated it for MOTM because it is a very important hack, and has a lot of potential. :up:

only a shame no active coders is continuing this mod

Hello,i have this little bug,can you help me? http://www.zforum.ro/bug.JPG

[IrPr]

Long time waiting for such great mod! i was developing myself but not done yet!

appreciated a lot, nice mod specially for major forums like me with 4k posts daily which staffs cant review all of threads/posts, in this case members can help us to avoid bad posts/spammers/bla bla bla either reporting them

i would suggest some features:

1. Filter feature is good, but it would be better to have an option to delete posts softly for specified negative rating,
In this case such ugly posts will be deletedet without any moderation action, and it can send PM notice to original poster whom posts deleted
We can have both options together

2. Option to set specified usergroups to have more rating power, for example x3 for admins, 2x for smods, and x1 for regular registered members

3. Somewhere to track/search/log rating actions by userid/thread/post in admincp

and so many more idea which i've

I can handle some of this features as CoAuthor if you interest

Thats your idea! It seems a feature to me, not a BUG
im totally agree with author to take some action for specified negative rate
you can set default filter value to some high negative

BTW i think an option to enable/disable filter globaly would be nice either

Excellent mod, but i make something false. i have installed the plugin and edit the templates correctly, but the rating system doesn't show on my site. Have someone a idea what the failure ist?

[Leo Brazil]

This mod is a great idea for sure, I tried but if people here were getting so much problems with regular vb postibit, imagine my self trying here on postbit_legacy
To bad...just keeping the hope for someone take over this tough

I was waiting for this mod for a long time, very sad to see no stable version is released before going dead.
