Statistics: Shows the top 5 people for; Giving / Receiving button clicks.

Collapsable postbit stats: Shows how many button clicks a person has given, received etc in the postbit. Admins can determine what statistics can show in the postbit to control sizes etc. The postbit is also collapsable.

User Postbit Config: Lets users decide what postbit stats they want to see.

Additional permissions: Un-click a button. Control how many stats show on the statistics page, set permissions per subforum.

Integrated Controls: You can now integrate the button clicking controls into the post footer, like many of you requested.

Buttons in First Post Only: This allows you to only make the first post thankable. If you forum is based around news, releases or anything similar this will allow your users to easily see the quality of the thread in question.

Button Click Anonymity: This feature will be extremely helpful to forums who like the idea of a "dislike" button, but don't like the drama it brings. Now you can set certain buttons to be anonymous - no one will see who clicked.

Post Colour Thresholds: Ever wanted an easy way for members to tell if a post is helpful or trash? Colour thresholds let you change the colour of posts depending on how many clicks of a button they receive.

If that's the case, then this is a built-in feature. Near the bottom of each button's settings page in the Button Management, there's an Exclusive set of checkboxes. Tick all of them for all buttons, and you will have achieved your goal

If that's not what you meant, then could you please clarify (a screenshot would help as well)?

It's related to look a bit nicer, because you don't need to use an action on that post anymore... i've edited template a bit and if you used an action, the action tr never appears again on that post

Hello.

I tried installing this mod to our forum engine but after database and style updating I got the following Error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE alfistivblanguage SET title = title, phrasegroup_cprofilefield = <snip> WHERE languageid = 1;

MySQL Error   : Unknown column 'phrasegroup_dbtech_thanks' in 'field list'
Error Number  : 1054
Request Date  : Tuesday, November 8th 2011 @ 07:21:02 AM
Error Date    : Tuesday, November 8th 2011 @ 07:21:17 AM
Script        : http://www.alfisti.gr/forum/admincp/plugin.php?do=productimport
Referrer      : http://www.alfisti.gr/forum/admincp/plugin.php?do=productadd
IP Address    : 85.74.197.187
Username      : kyan
Classname     : vB_Database
MySQL Version : 5.1.56

(I replaced part of the SQL with the word <snip> because it was too large to paste in here. Full error attached)

The offending SQL statement seems syntactically correct although very large and "phrasegroup_dbtech_thanks" does not seem to appear a column name but as part of the column value string.

Is there any way past this? Thank you in advance.

[DragonByte Tech]

Could you try re-importing the XML file? If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling. Are you sure you didn't receive any error prior to that one? Some SQL configs have problems installing mods past a certain point due to the max_allowed_packet config variable being too small.

Tried these, several times. Also tried reuploading all your files using different FTP clients just in case.

Yep. Can attach a screenshot for you if you want.

Uhmm... I'll try to find how I can fiddle with that setting, thanks for the tip. Also it seems that the error happens when phrases for the Greek language are being updated. I could try downloading and removing the Greek language, installing your mod and then reuploading the language again but I will have to wait for some idle time in order not to alarm our users.

[DragonByte Tech]

I can at least tell you it's not a problem with the mod itself, it's vBulletin that handles the creation of phrase groups when importing a product. The process of product importing is 100% vBulletin code (sans my custom table creation code that's ran and completed before the error pops up, that is).

Are you using a custom product manager perchance? If so, you could try temporarily switching back to the default one.

Fillip

[kyan]

Yes, that much I figured out myself from the name of the script where the error occurs (admincp/plugin.php). No custom product manager and here is a list of all installed products in case one of them rings a bell:

Cyb - Advanced 'New Posts'
Cyb - Sub-Forum Manager
GTPrivate Message Quickreply
GTPrivate Messages Enhanced Listing
Members who have Visited
Poster username in a separate column
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
Thread_Description
vBCode table

[DragonByte Tech]

In that case I'm at a loss beyond what I mentioned previously, sorry


Fillip

[Taringa! CS]

Filip, did u understand what i mean? It's an easy trick... But i dunno where on thanks.js make that changes

[DragonByte Tech]

I didn't understand, sorry

I don't know what's you're wanting to do that's different from using Exclusivity to hide the buttons once you've clicked one.


Fillip

[Taringa! CS]

You can hide buttons, but the table row will be there... empty
I want to hide that <tr>

I'll post some screenshots

1) Normal (without doing any actions)

http://i41.tinypic.com/sq6ttv.png

2) After doing an action

http://i41.tinypic.com/2s80il2.png

3) After reloading page

http://i44.tinypic.com/wbe6mb.png

So... i need some easy jquery trick to after making an action, hides the empty tr and display the missing tr
