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.


Features:

• 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
• Counts how many thanks a post gets
• Update Counters in ACP (found in 'Import & Maintenance')
• Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile

• Administrator can remove all Thank Yous from a single post
• Uses Phrases
• New set of options. Found in main ACP options.

When you delete a thread, do the thank you posts get deleted, too?

No, they wouldn't get deleted. They wont create any errors though. Do you realy want to start making 10 file edits that that they DO delete when you delete a post? Also, the thank yous are only saved in a seperate table nothing to do with the posts.

Just for the info, so no-one has to post about, next version will have, once you say 'thanks' you wont see that button. Also, the button will be removed from PMs.

<!-- end post thank you hack -->

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

Didn't fix it. :-(

This should work:

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

That doesn't work either.

It does not thank, but the button stays and after you thank, it throws an extra button between posts.

This is suppost to replace what I told you to put in the instructions, not just add it.

Ok then, you'll have to wait until I test it out.

I just tested it, It works perfectly. The thank you button only shows up on the first post of a thread.
