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.

Thank you very much! Sorry I didn't see that post

Great MOD!

I'm running 3.6.7 PL1. I installed the mod and it seems to work fine on my default template, but nothing shows up in the posts on my custom template. The only out of date custom templates found are with my PDA skin. I also installed the additional hook update. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Edit: Tried adding the hooks to my custom template manually. Got the info to display under the rep and got the thanks button to show up. However, if you click the thanks button, it disappears.

you must be missing $template_hook[postbit_end] (here is were the thanks table is showed. the hook goes (PS this is my postbit_legacy template so it might be different in just postbit use the comments to guide you)

		<!-- / controls -->
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

$template_hook[postbit_end]
<!-- post $post[postid] popup menu -->
<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="postmenu_$post[postid]_menu" style="display:none">

I would suggest you to propely update your templates, since it feels as if they were not completely updated
have a look at this post. Should be at least slightly helpful
