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.
New option: Remove User's Thanks Count When Deleting Post
New phrase: post_thanks_search_user_gave
FIX User reputation level now updates. (Thanks to liwo for this one.)
NEW Added option to view all posts a user has thanked.
FIX Fixed Special Action - Delete All of a Users Thanks
FIX Should have fixed some 'foreach()' errors.
Version 7.3 (03/15/08):
Updated file: functions_post_thanks.php
Updated template: post_thanks_memberinfo_block
Deleted template: post_thanks_memberinfo_css
New option: Choice to use Markup Usernames or not. (Thanks to Namaless)
New option: Ban User from Getting Thanks
New option: Max Thanks a User can Give Per Day
FIX Fixed repeating bug on vb 3.6.7 forums.
CHANGE Changed where the post thanks info shows on the Profile Page. Moved to same box as statistics. (This will require a template edit if you are running vb3.7 beta 2-4)
Version 7.4 (03/21/08):
FIX: Fixed Profile Stats for vb3.7.0 RC1 users.
Please post your comments or suggestions for this hack. I read ALL posts.
MAKE SURE YOU CLICK INSTALL! You will get an email when a new version is released.
Pictures:
Showing the 'thanks' button and stats in Postbit
Showing post after 'thanks' (user view)
Showing post after 'thanks' with legacy posts (admin view)
I just did an upgrade and now I get a blank page on showthread.php (only while this hack is enabled). I searched this thread but can't find a similar issue.
Edit: Ok it "helped", before only a few had this problem. Now everyone has it .P
I would need access to your APC and phpmyadmin to figure out the problem.

The problem is that now we can't see the name of the people who have said thank... so you look after post ...
The Following 2 Users Say Thank You to donnie_ogm For This Useful Post:
but in the box there isn't the name!
Why? Any ideas? ... please...
also repairing and optimizing tables don't solve the problem
I've removed the old edits to the templates memberinfo, postbit, postbit_legacy and navbar, do I need also to remove the family of templates called "Post thank you hack templates"?
Yes. All templates were changed. You need to revert them.
help me

I'd like to keep "Thanked 831 Times in 97 Posts" and remove "Thanks: 10" in postbit. How can i do it?
I tried to comment out "$post['post_thanks_user_amount_formatted'] = vb_number_format($post['post_thanks_user_amount']);" , but it still displays the word "Thanks: "
Thx!
You have to edit it out in the post_thanks_*** template. Forget the name. Should be easy to find.

You did not do a good update then. This should not happen. Try reinstalling everything over what you currently have.

You most likely are using an old link or something like that. Try reinstalling over what you have but make sure you remove all post thanks template edits.
