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

What file are you trying to install?

Try that first variable. It should be cellpadding.

Change where the template hook is located. Check out the postbit template.

The only thing that show up in the source of the postbit is the line:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/post_thanks.js"></script>

All the other lines corresponding to the post thanks simply wouldn't show up. How would I go about manually changing the templates to get the hack to work on these custom skins?

Do a 'history' compare. Add all the 'template_hook' locations.

If I manually add in the template hooks, do will they still correspond to the options set in the vBulletin's options for the Post Thank You hack? (ie will only show up where in the forums that I specified)

Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure your question. Can you explain more?

[Abe1]

Version 6.3 (07/30/07):

• Moved post thanks stats in postbit from hook postbit_userinfo_right to hook postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts. (for vb 3.6.8 and <3.6.6)
• Released for all versions of vb 3.6.x

Just make sure you ONLY have template edits that the instructions tells you. For some of the versions, there is a file to tell you want template edits you need if you have a custom style.
