Show Thread Enhancements - SAPR: Advanced Post Rating system (ajax)

Seba's Advanced Post Rating (SAPR) system with ajax- beta 2.

What is it?
In short: this is the wet dream of every vb board owner

In big: This is much more!
This adds a thumbs up/down post rating system: youtube style.

But wait there's more!
It not only adds a post rating system that works with and without ajax, but it also adds options to filter posts (on-the-flow with javascript) based on that rating.

That way your users will be able to browse easier trough threads by setting a filter, which collapses posts under a certain rating.
It also will prevent users of flooding you're site with 3 word posts.

AND THERE'S STILL MORE! It also adds a system of 'good posts', you can set a value of what is considered as a good post, and if a post reaches this value, the author gets +1 on his good post score.
So you get to see: this user has 500 posts and 150 good posts.

AND IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH: it's also completely configurable through the admincp.

And if you download it now you also get a very nice installation guide!!

Reminder / read this
This product is still in beta stage and it can contain bugs, backup every thing you change.

Currently the rating only works with vb 3.7, in the future 3.5 and 3.6 will also be supported, but they will not have ajax rating.

This mod works best if you use the postbit template, for postbit_legacy the filtering has few effect as collapsing still leaves a lot of the post

The good posts system still needs further development, which will be done after this beta testing

This is not a supported product, I'll fix the bugs and continue to work on it, but I'll don't answer questions, never.

Hi

In moderated posts rate should not be possible (with InternetExplorer I've a javascript error - systax error).

This is a good system but I think it's not placed in the right area in postbit.

To have a better effect it should be placed either last in the list of post info on the right or on the right side of the post title.

If this were aligned-right to the post title, within the message, it would stand out more and make it easier to use I think.

You can see what I am talking about in the following link where the mod is not listed last on the right hand side....

Great news man.

Please include instructions on how to place the thumbs somewhere else in postbit?

Cheers!

I'm really looking forward to this mod.

Thank you so much for all the work you put in on this.

How do I move the Number of Posts Next to the Thumbs with Parenthaseis around it?

[Lionel]

the div at $template_hook[postbit_controls] is pushing all other hacks using that location at botton. I tried changing the execution order with no luck. How can I fix that please?

[Lionel]

I solved my problem by splitting the plugin in 2 and by putting the $template_hook[postbit_controls] at postbit_displaycomplete. There you can control the execution order. When you put it at start, it will disrupt all other hacks using that plugin

[waza]

working on those bugs right now
