User Comment System

This hack allows users to leave comments about users. It is integrated into the admin CP options and is configurable via the normal permissions system (by default, mods/smods/admins can delete user comments).

Installed and working under vBulletin 2.3.2. Very nicely done.

Tips to people thinking about installing this: be sure to pick up the modified viewusercomments.php for built-in pagination. The usergroup bug which was mentioned earlier -- and whose fix is already included in this thread -- also needs to be fixed. Just refer to the notes on Page 7 for the fix to admin/usergroup.php

what about having a setting for only mods/admins being able to make and view comments

This HACK works great on my 2.3.4 version but I tried adding the code from getinfo to the postbit template4 to get feedback link on ths posts but I get errors

Invalid user specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

I used this code which I copied from getinfo

Most Recent <a href="viewusercomments.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&aboutuserid=$userid">Comments about $userinfo[username]</a>

Can someone help me with what im missing?

[Kaelon]

ChrisBaktis -- your $userid needs to be $userinfo[userid] =)

Crank -- You can easily do this with Logician's Template Conditionals hack.

Hi

I ?m working on a site for an international non-profit organization. The online community will be key, and so we?re looking at various ways to incorporate member to member feedback into the site. Before beginning this research, we planned a hack that we thought might do the trick. It?s outlined below. However, we would like to ask if you all think that other, existing hacks-like this one- might be equally/more functional. Anyway here was our idea:

First, one would create a forum exclusively for positive feedback.
The hack would then:

1) Create a new thread for each user upon registration. The thread could be named after the user in some standard format. (amykhar already did this, it seems: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...light=feedback Would her hack work as part of this scheme?)
2) Paste the URL for that user?s feedback thread directly into his/her signature, perhaps just after ?Feedback at:?

We thought this might be a very elegant way to incorporate feedback into VB, as the forum?s features would very functional. For example:

It would be easy to click from a users post to his/her feedback thread, because the link would be in the signature. Likewise, it would be easy to jump to or from their profile, which would facilitate making contact.
Because the forum is only for positive feedback, ranking by post would have meaning.
Similarly, hot threads would point to people who have done a lot of good work recently.
The report bad post feature could be used to report the presence of negative feedback.
We?re assuming that everyone would subscribe to their own feedback thread and so would be automatically notified.

Thanks
