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.

I'm sure this question has been asked already, but I can't find the answer, so I apologize now for repeating.

Is it possible to use the TY button, but without the words:

Thanks: 8
Thanked 57 Times in 25 Posts

which is located under my members Avatar on my forum.

Here is a picture which better describes what I am asking.


Thank you so much for your assistance.

There is a little bug on last release.
When you use AJAX to edit a post, when edition is complete, all Thanks dissapears. Just reload the page and appears again.
Any idea about this?
Regards!

No worries, I found what I needed in a post at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...122944&page=81

If you don't want to show "Thanks: x" "Thanked 1 time in 1 post"
Go to the template called "post_thanks_postbit_info" and either delete all its contents or (I would do this second one) put a conditional at the beginning for example
(So only users with this usergroups can see it)
<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7)">
or so only peeople with those userids can see it
<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[userid], array(1,8,200))">

Don't forget to put the </if>

Did above and seems to work perfectly. Thank you all!

possible addition to...

• Special Actions: This action will delete all thanks a single user received.

[firefoxx]

thank you. really nice add-on

how can i change the positions of quickreply and thanks button?

[suraev]

Abe1,

does by any chance you are going to add an extra feature for your mod:

there is a setting "reputation" that sets how many reputation points user receives with every "thank you". But since this value is fixed, there is no difference between influence of "thank you" from old members and newbies.

I think if there will be an option to make a number of reputation points dependent on reputation power (like original reputation works), then "thank you" mod can completely substitute a useless reputation button.,

I will be very glad to get your response.

[danielwe]

really good, but, when i open a thread the hack will not be show...sorry for my bad english, but when you can speak german or russia, we can speak german or russian... can you held me?

thanks
