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.

Installed. The idea is awesome, I even suggested it in vb.com's forums.

Seems to be working pretty well, good job. The only thing (of course there's always a thing) is when using postbit_legacy, hiding only the text but not collapsing the post area is strange, but I see in the instructions I can change that. So good work.

Oh postbit_legacy is supported now from the start, right? You said on the instructions I had to change something for it to work but I didn't do anything and it's showing correctly there.

Regarding collapsing, is there an admin cp option or a way it can be used where the first post in a thread cannot be hidden/collapsed? Edit: While still enabling the rating of the first post.

@dream: yeah, it's kind a strange of hiding the text, and not the info. But i don't find a good alternative, as you still need to be able to rate, and the rating is in the info on the left.

@neverstop: The option for the first post is there, but then the rating is also disabled. Maybe i'll add this option later, but I first want to get the current bugs out before adding new features.

Maybe the rating for postbit_legacy could go in the blue bar where the post number is. I can only think of that.

Any chance this is going to be linked with reputation anytime?

That would just be amazing ^_^

EDIT:

but I first want to get the current bugs out before adding new features

Ah, you answered my question.

Well. I can't wait for a final release. This has so much potential.

[waza]

well, some work for school got between, so the final release will be a bit delayed, but maybe I can add the reputation integration, a lot of people ask it.

[mastertek2000]

nice thanks will see how it works great idea marked install

[furst]

Is there a way to sort all the posts by ratings?

[YdieresiS]

I would love to see the final release. This is where i was looking for
