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:

If you ran the installer already and didn't do the edits, there is option in the installer to jump to the file edits. |

Nice hack. I've installed it but have one small issue. As the style on my website is very different, the postbit_legacy template is very different. I've got my own image in place, so all I need is the actual link which allows the user to create the thanks post.
In your instructions it's this: $post_thanks Which creates the main button and link and as I can't use that, I just need the link itself . Thanks Edit: Fixed Myself . |

For anyone that has a problem after upgrading to vbulletin 3.0.5. Simply run the installer again and all will then work as intended

OK, I've got everything work now except the admincp settings don't appear. I can see the Post Thanks options in the main vbulletin options, but when I select it, there's no options below.
I can see the option info in the phrases. Any ideas? |

Abe - It looks like it's because the queries didn't run properly to me. I tried running one of the ones from the install file directly in phpadmin:
Code:
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "setting VALUES ('post_thanks_on_off', 'post_thanks','1','1', 'yesno', 10, 0, 0)"); Produced the following error: Code:
Error There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem ERROR: Unknown Punctuation String @ 9 STR: -> SQL: $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "setting VALUES ('post_thanks_on_off', 'post_thanks','1','1', 'yesno', 10, 0, 0)") SQL-query : $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "setting VALUES ('post_thanks_on_off', 'post_thanks','1','1', 'yesno', 10, 0, 0)") MySQL said: #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "setting VALUES Can you see what's wrong with the syntax? I'm running 3.0.1 and mySQL 3.23.49. |
