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.

when i click on the thank you button it redirects me to

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

can i update this addon?is it compatible with vb 3.6.4 also?

and how to update now?

Yes yiu may upgrade, USE 6.0 gold instead of 6.2.
In order to upgrade, just reupload all the new files to the FTP, reinstall the product, with overwrite on YES, and redo ALL template modifications following the instructions.

And your are done ^^

I used to be able to do this with the if condition in earlier version but I don't know how to do it now.
Something like < if $vbphrase[post_thanks_thanks] >=1 or something

hmmm lets see

go to the template called post_thanks_postbit_info
and unless you hav emodified it change it to

HTML Code:

<if condition="$post[userid]">
	<if condition="$post[post_thanks_user_amount_formatted] > 0"><div>$vbphrase[post_thanks_thanks]: $post[post_thanks_user_amount_formatted]</div></if>
	<div>
		<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted] != 0">
		<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times] == 1">
			$vbphrase[post_thanks_time_post]
		<else />
			<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts] == 1">
				<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_post]</phrase>
			<else />
				<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted]" 2="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_posts]</phrase>
			</if>
			</if>
		</if>
	</div>
</if>

basically added

<if condition="$post[post_thanks_user_amount_formatted] > 0">
which means: if this person has thanked more than 0 times then show the content.
* WHy did i put > 1 ?
because it woudl be any number bigger than one not including 1.
* Then use >= 1
bah > 0 does the job

then the second conditional is
<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted] != 0">
which means: if this person thanked times is NOT zero (hence has been thanked) then show the content
^^ I think that should help

This one is harder to answer because the problem is more abstract. Are you by any chance in a baned usergroup (banned from thanking, secondary groups are affected)
I can't tghink of anything else, if that doesn't do it abe1 should be able to answer ^^

maidos · #**1324** 06-23-2007, 08:50 AM

no since im a admin and once i did what u told everyone to do i added a thanks... and it did redirected me to that msg

NolF · #**1325** 06-23-2007, 09:01 AM

hmm
can users use the thanks button? or do they get the same msg

Make sure all the files are propelly uploaded to your FTP, a faulty script might cause this sort of problem

maidos · #**1326** 06-23-2007, 09:50 AM

re-uploaded the files but still redirects me... im using 3.6.7 can anyone confirm this issues aswell?

my user can view the thanks button

vitrag24 · #**1327** 06-23-2007, 10:50 AM

do i need to download and update this addon also while updating from 5.2 to 6.0 gold?

either delete it or wrap it in a conditional, I normally put one so only admins can see it (is good to monitor abuse etc ^^)
<if conditional="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6"> or <if conditional="$bbuserinfo[userid] == XX">
First one for usergroupid, the second one if you only want your-self to be able to see it.
Read This tutorial about conditionals, very useful.

Hi NolF,

Thanks for your reply, I have deleted that from the template, but its still showing in the postbit- any ideas? My forums are www.ChessForums.org

Thanks!
Greg

To begin with you are missing a hook in memberinfo, this one $template_hook[memberinfo_foruminfo] to be precise.

secondly does the post_thanks_postbit_info template look like this?

HTML Code:

<if condition="$post[userid]">
	<div>
		<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times] == 1">
			$vbphrase[post_thanks_time_post]
		<else />
			<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts] == 1">
				<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_post]</phrase>
			<else />
				<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted]" 2="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_posts]</phrase>
			</if>
		</if>
	</div>
</if>
