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.

Features:

• Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller

and it didn't look like that, but it does now, and thats solved the issue- Thanks!

The hook ($template_hook[memberinfo_foruminfo]) goes about here in your MEMBERINFO template

					<if condition="$show['usernoteview']">
						<br />($vbphrase[last_note]: $usernote[lastpostdate] <span class="time">$usernote[lastposttime]</span>)
					</if>
				</div>
			</div>
			</if>
			$template_hook[memberinfo_foruminfo]
		</div>
	</div>
	</td>

I would suggest you to propelly update the tamplehooks (see this) since you will have more problems further down the track, and is worth bothering you self now to do so.

You will find the link on your profile saying "Find all thanked posts by {1}" ^^
If you don't see it, you need the hook mentioned above.

I was just wondering if it was possible to remove all the points that were given by thanked posts but leaving the posts thanked if that makes sense?

I don't think you will be able to do this. Doesn't matter anyways, some extra rep for some lucky guys ^^.
Wait, if you go to the reputation section on the admincp, you can delete reputation individually user by user, I know, it is very anoying and exosting, but I don't think this hack includes that feature.

Could you kindly explain this to me? I'm using vBa so I want to be on the safe side ^^

One thing I have done is made sure the Button image is in the images/buttons folder and the properties are set to Read all and the Write is Owner and Group. Works sometimes.

Is there a conflict with Google adsense script ?!
I can't get it to show the thanks button or anything.
3.6.7PL1 // 6.2
