Post Thank You Hack 0.6

About this hack:
This hack allows users to thank someone for a post without making a big mess on your forum. I'm sure most of you HATE when people just make a post that says 'thank you'. Also, for those people who don't like making the 2 word post, this gives them a chance to say thanks. It's also good for users of your forum who post something helpful and want to see if people really used their information.

There is a similar hack called 'Automatic Thank You Hack'. That hack only lets you thank the first post of a thread not just any post. It's also unsupportive and was release for an older version of vbulletin.

• Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
• Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
• Places all Thank Yous into one small box
• Users can't thank twice
• Users can't thank their own post
• Guests don't see 'thanks' button
• Separate PHP for actions
• Option to turn off hack for individual forums
• Option to turn off hack for all but first post of a thread
• Option to turn off hack view of date for separate or all forums
• Counts how many thanks a user gives

• Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile

Your hack install does not take into consideration for people with prefixes on their table names.

Question:

Can these "Thank you" posts be deleted?

I will work on that and try to fix it.

Thanks

IS there a way to have the button only show up in the first post?

I like your hack better than the other version, but prefer it to show up once per thread.

My hack lets you thank every post, not just the first. Meny times a person will post a very useful post somewere in a thread not just the first post. I may com out with settings that lets you turn off on all post exect for first.

is there a uninstall php file just in case it does not work?

Yes. I full uninstallation is found in the install script. It also shows you what you have to delete from the files and templates.

what am I missing?

I did the following. h**p://siteurl/admincp/post_thanks_install.php?step=dofileedits and doubled checked the instructions.

Everything is 100%
The hack is silent. :surprised:

Did you do the postbit and postbit_legacy template edits?

Maybe in the postbit you should put

<!-- post thank you hack -->
<if condition="$postcount==1"><a href="newreply.php?do=post_thanks&amp;p=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/post_thanks.gif" alt="$vbphrase[post_thanks_thanks]" border="0" ></a></if>
<!-- end post thank you hack -->

Didn't try it, but I think it should remove the button if it's not the first post.
