Post Thank You Hack

STAFF EDIT:
Note - The mod author has been unreachable for some time, but the vbulletin.org community has stepped up to provide a number of individual fixes over the years. ForceHSS, Hippy, and Seven Skins have all combined many of these fixes into product files.

ALL CREDIT STILL GOES TO ABE1 And this is still 'his' mod. Please still mark the mod as installed if you use any version of it.

That said so you don't need to apply a dozen + small fixes yourself you should consider downloading one of the updated packages below:

Hippy has one in this post.

AND / OR

ForceHSS has one in this post.

AND/OR

Seven Skins has one in this post.


- Original File Specs: post_thanks_7_82.zip (26.4 KB, 24844 downloads) - Original file removed, replaced with patched files including search fix (some admins noticed hackers attempting to use outdated code to exploit search in attempt to gain administrator password or similar).
- There are five total patched versions available, some with and without the search fix - I've replaced the main file with the patched versions... please be sure to download and install the correct version, the main mod post contains links to additional information and patched files!
- If Abe1 returns he can request these packages be removed.


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.

Don't take this the wrong way please, but you really shouldn't be installing anything but the simplest mods until you understand vb more. And the first rule of any mod install is that first you must read the entire thread to familiarize yourself with it. While that may not be practical, at the very least you should read the last couple pages.

The first thing you should have noticed about this mod is that the author hasn't been around in ages (a BIG warning sign!) and that the first post already answered your earlier question. I don't even know about your second question, I think you're just installing it wrong.

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue where after a user thanks a certain post and refreshes the page, the Thank you button still persists on that same post even though the thanks has been recorded.

Which file would I have to track this down to?

Could it be because I'm using a CSS class to make the thank you button rather than just a direct img src tag?

Thank you!

Here is my post_thanks_button template:

<a href="post_thanks.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}do=post_thanks_add&amp;p={vb:raw post.postid}&amp;securitytoken={vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" id="post_thanks_button_{vb:raw post.postid}"<vb:if condition="$vboptions[disable_ajax] != 2"> onclick="return post_thanks_give({vb:raw post.postid}, <vb:if condition="$vboptions[post_groans_integrate]">true<vb:else />false</vb:if>);"</vb:if> <vb:if condition="$display_thanks_image == 'none'">style="display:none"</vb:if> rel="nofollow" class="post_thanks_button" style="width: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" ></a>

<span id="post_thanks_separator_{vb:raw post.postid}" <vb:if condition="$display_thanks_image == 'none'">style="display:none"</vb:if> style="border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"></span>

[Hippy]

Most likely its your edit. You should not have to refresh the page. Put it back to default and make sure it works as it should, so you can track the issue down.

Thank you Hippy. Would it be the edit in the post_thanks_button template itself? I am a little lost but it looks like maybe the ID of the specific thank you button that needs to be removed is not being added properly?

I have tried putting the default post_thanks_button template back in and the issue still seems to persist. Is there any way I could have you take a look at the site or send you some templates? I would be willing to compensate you for your time.

Thank you for responding.

EDIT: In response to your reply -- I don't have to refresh the page to see the thank you register but when I do refresh the page, the thank you button shows up again on the same post even though it is showing that I already thanked that post.

[Hippy]

Pm me details. I'll take a look

Hi guys!

First I would like to thank everyone who is keeping this mod alive. For me this is one of the best mods! I am currently running a phpbb forum http://fragnet.ca but now I want to switch to VB 4.2 http://quebec-gamer.ca (my test/dev board).

I've followed the instructions and successfully installed this mod but I am having a display issue with my custom profile fields :



Secondly I would like to use two different images for the thumbs up icon. The height of the two new images are 18px so it?s being cut off at the top and the bottom :



Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

[Hippy]

send me links to the new images your using and I will resize them..
replace your post_thanks_postbit_info
with for the alignment issue

<vb:if condition="$post['userid']">
    <dt>{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_thanks}</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.post_thanks_user_amount_formatted}</dd>
    <vb:if condition="$post['post_thanks_thanked_times'] == 1">
        <dd>{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_time_post}</dd>
    <vb:elseif condition="$post['post_thanks_thanked_posts'] == 1" />
        <dd>{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_post, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}}</dd>
    <vb:else />
        <dd>{vb:rawphrase post_thanks_times_posts, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_times_formatted}, {vb:raw post.post_thanks_thanked_posts_formatted}}</dd>
    </vb:if>
</vb:if>

[DFORMS]

Thank you Hippy, that did the trick!

I have Photoshop and modifying the images is not a problem. I just hoping to could keep the same height and not reduce the quality.
