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 have to look into it. It's a reported problem already.

Thanks for your answer regarding the DB errors since uninstalling.

Could you be a little more specific about what bits of code I need to remove from the nav_bar and member_info template

I have to admit that Im not a coder

Thanks

search in it for the word 'thank' see what comes up. it should be totally inclosed in tags for the hack so you should be able to remove the code easily.

This is a much needed feature. I have one user that has taken it upon himself to thank every damn post on the board. This is not a situation where I can easily ban or reprimand him, but I sure would like an admin button to DUMP what he has done. That particular user has thanked 5,260 posts!

HOT DAMN! I found it!

Admincp > Post Thanks > Special Actions

OOPS!

It went through the motions, but it didn't do anything.

Delete All of a Users Thanks
This action will delete all thanks a single user gave.

[zglows]

can i modify it so when I press the thanks button an image shows up instead of my name?
how can i make this?

I can find the word 'thank' in my default style in 'Cybernetics Templates' and 'cyb_topstats_thanks'

Its weird as some days I get 1 error, sometimes multiple!

Regarding this problem

I have uninstalled the mod but I still get the SQL errors below:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT postid
FROM post AS post
INNER JOIN thread AS thread ON(thread.threadid = post.threadid)
WHERE post.userid = 23143
AND post.post_thanks_amount != 0
AND thread.forumid IN(185,197,210,189,183,54,55,216,218,217,219,191,2 14,196,195,198,184,193,205,204,190,199,188,202,200 ,182,215,187,192)
ORDER BY post.dateline DESC
LIMIT 1000;

I'd like to see this feature added too. I love this add-on (thanks Abe!), but as it works today people have no way of knowing when someone thanks them for an old post unless they go looking for it.

ETA: It'd be even better if receiving notifications was user-optional.

[oldengine]

Admincp > Post Thanks > Special Actions
Delete All of a User's Thanks
This action will delete all thanks a single user gave.

Has anyone used this? Does it work at all?

I ran it on both a user number and user name and it does absolutely nothing. It acts like it's processing, but the thanks are all still there.

User's Total Thanks: 5,275

I advise caution before you put this on a big board! I have 3,497 pages of table data in post_thanks which apparently includes 105,886 thanks.

The users love it, but thats the problem. I have users who think it's their lot in life to thank every damn post on the board!

I really need to do a query on this thing, flush the toilet and start over.

Does uninstalling this hack empty the table?

Or, is this as simple as selecting the post_thanks table in PhpMyadmin, selecting all five fields and hitting the EMPTY button?
