Post Ranking System
by FullyTested

This product does not modify any VB MySQL tables and thus can be used by all forums regardless of whether they have three thousand posts or three million posts in their database.
Also, no manual template edits.

In A Nutshell:
  1. This product provides the ability to track the quality of post contributions made by your registered members.
    Each member's rank totals may be displayed (and are searchable) via the postbit template and/or public profile page.
  2. Each post may be ranked 'up' (+1 point) or 'down' (-1 point) by your registered members. Each member may only do this once per post.
    This is done via AJAX if the viewer's browser has JavaScript enabled, or via a link, if not.
    Once a post has reached a certain point threshold (value is set via AdminCP), it's rank changes accordingly.
    All posts start as 'Neutral'.
    Positively ranked posts may have their rank changed to 'Highly Ranked' or 'Highest Ranked'.
    Negatively ranked posts may have their rank changed to 'Lowly Ranked' or 'Lowest Ranked'.
  3. Whenever a post has its rank changed, the post creator has his/her rank totals updated accordingly.
Available Options:
  • Rank threshold values may be changed at any time., Rank totals are then updated accordingly.
  • Each rank can have it's own text colour.
  • Each user has the option to have 'Lowest' ranked posts hidden in a collapsed state (same as the ignore postbit). This option is turned on via the User CP thread display options.
  • Each user has the option to have 'Highest' ranked posts highlighted to destinguish them from the rest of the posts in the thread. This option is turned on via the User CP thread display options.
  • Ability to globally force the above highlighted/hidden posts on all users.
  • Option to have extremely lowly ranked posts auto 'soft' deleted. If post is subsequently undeleted, it's rank will revert to 'Neutral'.
  • Ability to email mods upon auto deletion of a post.
  • Selection of usergroups that may not rank posts.
  • Selection of usergroups who's posts cannot be ranked.
  • Exclude specific forums from post ranking.
  • Ability to include/exclude rank name ('Highest Ranked') in postbit
  • Ability to include/exclude rank score (+10/-5) in postbit
  • Display user's post rank totals within the postbit template.
  • Display user's post rank totals within the public profile page.
  • Search for posts of a certain rank, which belong to a specific member, via the postbit or public profile page.
  • Display total count, and search for, posts of a certain rank via the 'Post Ranking System' menu in AdminCP.
  • Manage votes by User or Post via Admin CP.
  • Statistics page where top posts and top posters are displayed. This page may be limited certain usergroups.
  • Ability to set a cut-off date (in days). Posts older than x number of days cannot be ranked.
Accountable Actions
  • Post delete (soft and physical) // rank totals decrement
  • Post undelete // rank totals increment
  • Post mergers // rank totals decrement as post may no longer reflect original content on which it was ranked
  • Thread delete (soft and physical) // rank totals decrement
  • Thread undelete // rank totals increment
  • User mergers // ranks transferred to new user
  • User delete // voted upon post ranks updated., tables cleared of said user
To Install:
Please see the 'ReadMe' file for installation instructions.
Installing this mod should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Version 2.5
Fixed small bug with the stats page.
Added the ability to have the score and rank images display in a separate line when default setting is to not have the thread title in every post.
The following files have changed:
- postrankstats.php (please re-FTP to your server)
- product_postrank.xml (please re-import with 'Allow Overwrite' selected)

Teresa, the only way I see that happening without putting a load on the server is to have each user's totals calculated once a day which means what you see in the postbit will be a little off.
This is one of those code heavy requests.

maidos, you will have to rearrange the template to do what you want which means moving around the <if> statements logic around.
I'm afraid I do not have the time to do this for you.

maybe you could implement my suggestion to the next version including allowing admin to setup which vote template to display as default?

I'll have a look at it all later. I have to go out now for a while (we get breaks too once in a while ).

Thanks for the suggestions and feedback.

Bummer. I understand. I'm thinking that if you changed the logic to update a user total at the time of the vote, that would be a big change in the logic of the whole thing?

~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm having a problem with the page 2 link on posts going to the Posters report instead of page two on posts.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you have a donation link? I wouldn't mind kicking in a few bucks. I know it's not much, but every little bit helps? I really appreciate the fast turn-around and support on our issues.

Yes that is the way but I just have to find the time to do that.

Thanks for letting me know. Version 2.3 should fix that.

Thank you for the offer but rather than donating to myself, I would very much appreciate if donations went to local Animal Shelters.

Thanks,
David.

Wow. You are a man after my own heart! I run an animal rescue and this is for one of my animal advocacy forums!

That worked great. Thanks. In the posting stats, any chance of adding the User of the post as a column that can be shown and sorted upon?
