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.

I had no ideas why it keep give me a message no permission to access when I click on the button Thank You. I have install exactly intruction for many times, again and again. Still didn't work. This is the hack that I have looking for more than 1 year. Now you release it, but I can't sucessful to install it :tired:

I was just wondering why adding $thanks_post template to postbit_legacy but not to postbit template. well, maybe it works either way. :squareeyed:

[Boofo]

It needs to be added to both of them.

Those no permission messages appear cuz you don't have "Thank You Option" enable for existing forums. Just run this following query (in either Admin CP or phpMyAdmin):

UPDATE `forum` SET `showthanks` = '1', `showthanks_date` = '1' ;

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?

i fixed this myself


in :

includes/functions_databuild.php

Find:

	delete_post_index($post['postid']); //remove search engine entries
			}
		}

		if (!empty($userbyuserid) AND !$threadinfo['isdeleted'])
		{ // if the thread is already deleted, the posts have already been reduced

add this right above it :

$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thanks WHERE threadid=$threadid");

save and your done !


now anytime you Physically remove it it will also remove the thanks.

thx for that

In postbit AND postbit_legacy templates

@teksigns vbmenu_register("postmenu_495736", true); : Thanks for this

@Mone' : You registered on vbulletindev, but it seems you had a lot of SQL error due to your username (the ' ), these are vBulletin's bugs

I'll correct it adding addslashed into SQL queries Try to connect later, it should be ok

great Hack, but i have a Problem

In SHOWTHREAD template, find (you must do it 2 times) :

------------------------------------------------------------------------
<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" ></if></a></td>
</if>
------------------------------------------------------------------------


and replace with :

------------------------------------------------------------------------
<if condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;noquote=1&amp;p=$FIRSTPOSTID"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" ></if></a></td>
</if>
<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 condition="$show['largereplybutton']">
<td class="smallfont"><a href="newreply.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&noquote=1&p=$FIRSTPOSTID"><if condition="$show['closethread']"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /><else /><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/threadclosed.gif" alt="$vbphrase[closed_thread]" border="0" ></if></a>
