Automatic 'Thank you' Hack

Total hack's description : http://www.vbulletindev.net/forums/h...hack&hackid=49

Site : http://www.vbulletindev.net/forums


You can set in wanted forums with this hack, an option which displays in a special post of a thread, the list of members who clicked the 'Thank you' button. So, instead of having a lot of posts saying : 'Great', 'Big thx ' ... you only have one post.

The postbit (legacy or not) automatically adapts itself too.

The phrase to thank the thread creator change if there is one user or more which clicks the button, so the verb is always correct
There is an other option too in Forum manager, to set if you want to see at which date the 'Thank you' button was clicked by the member.

Eventual bugs :Correct with it

How do we set the thank you button to only show up on the forums it is turned on for? Right now, it shows up on all forums.

In the showthread template :

Replace

<td class="smallfont" align="right"><a href="newreply.php?do=thanks&amp;threadid=$thread[threadid]">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/thanks.gif" alt="$vbphrase[thanks]" border="0" >
</a></td>

with

<if condition="$forum[showthanks]==1"><td class="smallfont" align="right"><a href="newreply.php?do=thanks&amp;threadid=$thread[threadid]">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/thanks.gif" alt="$vbphrase[thanks]" border="0" >
</a></td></if>

Yeah, I just figured that out before coming up here to tell you.

Only, this is what I used and it seems to work fine.

<if condition="$forum['showthanks']">

Is there a way to add this:

thanks username for this thread

as the title of the message instead of actually being in the message?

[VitroX]

this is a great hack.

how about adding the total pple who thank the thread starter?

something like:

5 Users already said Thank You!:

username1, username2, username3, username4, username5

it would fit better for my forum.

Thanks for your work!

[VBDev]

I don't want to work on vBulletin now

But I'll look for these 2 things (title for boofo, really not hard, and for you counter vitrox, not harder )

[Boofo]

When you are ready to work on vBulletin again, I have a couple things to talk to you about. PM me when you are aready.

[VBDev]

I'll have a really hard night this evening, and will not be able to work tomorrow, I think I'll stay at bed all the day !

Monday, I look for this

[Boofo]

PM me Monday and we'll talk then. Hope you feel better.

Hi thank you for the hack everything works great so far

I'd like to point a few things........


1 if you delete a thread with a thank you post the thank you talbe doen not get deleted in the db. Can you add the function to remove the db entry if a thread get deleted?

2 ability to bump a post when a user say thank you

3 admin should be able to delete thank you post

4 like other have requested I would like to see a counter of the totla user that said thank you

Apart of that great job!
