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.

This might do the trick, however i think you're SOL as the function add_scores adds the rep during the process when any post is thanked... since those posts have already been thanked rebuild user rep won't take that into consideration.

You might have to run a manual query

Yea you're right the rebuild is fruitless. I assumed it would be possible with SQL queries, but I wouldn't know what SQL to run.

is there any option to show statistics? Like who earned most thanks or thank/post ratio etc..

This is working great for me - very nice job Abe1. I think I found 2 small issues however although they're not really bugs...

• If a has thanks, and thatpost is edited by that member (using the quick edit ajax method) when the edit is saved, the post_thanks_postbit template fails to re-load. After a page refresh it's there, howerever would be more in-line with vbulletin if this were re-loaded upon edit as well.
• After a post is thanked, although the post_thanks_postbit template reloads, the post_scores_member_info template fails to reload resulting in the post's author's post-thanks info not being updated

Thanks!
