<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread']">
        <div style="text-align:left; padding-bottom: 5px;">
        <span id="oneclick_container">
        <noscript>$vbphrase[rating]:</noscript>

Technical comments:
Uses AJAX but will fall back to submitting the form first, or if that fails it will use <noscript> tags to display submit buttons. The fallback methods are not thoroughly tested so, if you are able, please test them and report any problems you have.

Template comments:
Be careful about moving the HTML block around because it will fail if it becomes nested inside of another form.

Recommendations after installing:
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Allow Thread Rating Vote Changes" to No
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Required Thread Rating Votes to Show Rating" to 1 (this will hopefully encourage the use of thread ratings)
- install the Thread-Ratings on Search mod which was written for 3.5.x but is compatible with 3.6.x. ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106853 )
- modify the threadrate_add phrase, In Languages & Phrases under "Search in Phrases," do a search for 'Your vote on this thread has been added' and modify it to say something more friendly/humorous

Are you a designer?
maybe you can make the HTML chunk more asthetically pleasing with images or CSS

changelog:
0.1 - initial release
0.1.1 - define JS threadid which may or may not be defined later in the page


Read this before posting
If you want to tell me what error(s) you receive, please do the following:
1. Make sure you DO NOT put the HTML chunk inside of another form it will not work at all if you do this. Please make sure it is after the $poll variable.
2. If you think the error is JS related and you are using Firefox, click Tools > Console then the Errors tab, clear it out first, then try doing the thread rating, Right-click and copy the errors related that show for your forum.
3. You did not upload the JavaScript file to the proper location

READ THIS: Set "Check Thread Rating" to Yes in vBulletin Options under "Thread Display Options (showthread)"

I have only been testing in Firefox and I have had no issue (with Firefox 1.5 on OSX and Firefox 2 on Windows).

I have not yet been able to reproduce any of reported the issues (except for one) so please give me the following details when you tell me it is not working:
- verify the that you uploaded the JS file to the correct directory first
- your browser and version
- the source code of the generated HTML on your site

Yes.
in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Allow Thread Rating Vote Changes" to No

Could you send me a link to a thread where it isn't working for you? What browser and version are you using?

i am using firefox 2.0.0.1

I have attached a screenshot which shows that it works for me. I really don't know what else I can do. Do you have any Firefox extensions installed? Are you a localized version of Firefox or an English version (I don't believe it would matter but I am asking anyway)? the zip file contains a non-resized version of it.

[abramelin]

this is very very strange. i am using firebug as an extension. i have disabled it and it still doesnt work for me :/

Edited as suggested here and here

In firefox 2, When tried after clearing all browser cache, it works but sometime i feels its not working... lol

You can check it by yourself here or on any other thread!

Turning allow vote changes to No, didnt make this disappear for myself?

abramelin:
Maybe I should ask..
are you getting any JavaScript errors?
Or, are you just selecting the radio button and it doesn't do nothing?
Or, could you elaborate on the problem you are experiencing?

I have two ideas I could try but it's not something I believe would actually make a difference

Do you have any other Firefox extensions installed? e.g., GreaseMonkey?
