Post Thank You Hack 1.10


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 granted liking by ALL the members of your forum.

The hack has been tested VERY well, including 5 weeks of beta testing, but I'm only human I can't guaranty there are no problems.

There is a similar hack called 'Automatic Thank You Hack'. That hack only lets you thank the first post of a thread and not just any post. The options in this hack doesn't compare to my hack. It's also unsupportive and was release for an older version of vBulletin.

Features:
  • Comes with easy installer/updater/uninstaller file
  • Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
  • Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
  • Places all Thank Yous into one small box
  • [NEW]Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
  • Users can't thank twice
  • Users can't thank their own post
  • Guests don't see 'thanks' button
  • Counts how many thanks a user gives
  • Counts how many thanks a post gets
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile
  • Shows how many thanks a user got
  • Shows how many posts or a user are thanked
  • Shows info in profile
  • Search for a users thanked posts
  • Search for all thanked posts
  • Administrator can remove all Thank Yous from a single post
  • Turn on and off hack
  • Turn on and off hack for only some forums
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread in specific forums
  • Option to turn off hack view of date for specific or all forums
  • [NEW]Option to add to post count when someone clicks 'thanks'.
  • [NEW]Option to give a user who receives thanks reputation points.
  • Ban Usergroups
  • Ban Users
  • Update Counters in ACP (found in 'Import & Maintenance')
  • Uses Phrases
  • Guaranteed to be liked by ALL users on your forum!

Installation information on hack:
  • Files edited: 3
  • Templates edited: 4
  • New Phrases: 44 (installer installs them)
  • New Templates: 2 (installer installs them)
  • Queries: 15 excluding phase and template queries (installer installs it)
  • Files to upload: 4
  • Time to install: between 5-10 minutes

Updates:

Version 1.0 (12/28/04):
  • Release

Version 1.01 (1/10/05):
  • [FIX]Templates stay when you upgrade your forum

Version 1.02 (2/22/05):
  • [NEW]Installer Has Installer for After You Upgrade Your Forum
  • [NEW]Search for a users thanked posts
  • [NEW]Search for all thanked posts

Version 1.03 (2/23/05):
  • [FIX]Turn hack on for only first posts of threads now works

Version 1.10 (5/9/05):
  • [FIX]Compatibility for vBulletin 3.0.7
  • [FIX]Reduced the amount of queries need to run this hack every time you view a showthread page to only ONE query. No more 1 to 2 queries per post that comes up.
  • [FIX]I cached the templates used to save 1 query.
  • [NEW]Option to add to post count when someone clicks 'thanks'.
  • [NEW]Option to give a user who receives thanks reputation points.

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:
  1. Showing the 'thanks' button
  2. Showing post after 'thanks' (admin view)
  3. Showing post after 'thanks' with legacy posts (admin view)
  4. Stats in member?s profile
  5. Hacks settings

Sorry if I confused you guys earlier,
Is there anyway to combine Post Thanks You Hack with Lock Down hack, or Hide hacks ?
( User can only see the hidden content only after clicking the Thank You button).

Waiting for the reply.
Thanks

It's built-in to be off but there are all the options in the 'vbulletin options' in the user cp.
