Post Thank You Hack 7.4


About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a guaranteed liking by ALL the members of your forum.

Features:
  • Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
  • Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.
  • Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
  • Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
  • Places all Thanks into one small box
  • Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
  • Users can't thank twice
  • Option to not allow users to thank their own post
  • Guests don't see 'thanks' button
  • Counts how many thanks a user gives
  • Counts how many thanks a post gets
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in every post of his
  • Shows how many thanks a user gave in profile
  • Shows how many thanks a user got
  • Shows how many posts or a user are thanked
  • Shows info in profile
  • Search for a users thanked posts
  • Search for all thanked posts
  • Administrator can remove all Thanks from a single post
  • Users can remove their own Thanks
  • Turn on and off hack totally
  • Turn on and off hack for only some forums
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread
  • Option to turn off hack for all but the first post of a thread in specific forums
  • Option to turn off hack view of date for specific or all forums
  • Option to add to post count when someone clicks 'thanks'.
  • Option to give a user who receives thanks reputation points.
  • Ban Usergroups
  • Ban Users
  • Uses Phrases
  • Cache Templates
  • Guaranteed to be liked by ALL users on your forum!

I have a real newbie question. I have searched all the thanks templates looking for where I can change the color of the thank you table. I want it to be contract against the post so it doesn't blend in so easily. Can someone point me to where I can alter the table colors? Thanks in advance.Nevermind, I found it finally in the postbit legacy template.

BUT I would like for the thank you table to be inside it's post (not a seperate table). Many of members think that the thankyou is for the post below it instead of above it. Is there a way to do this?

Greetz
I need a little help from Abe1 or someone experienced in php...
This is about Thanks Hack for 3.6.x and Reputation feature that can work in conjunction.
I want to enable feature when for every thanks user get also a reputation point, so that amount of thanks user got will be equal to the reputation points.
The issue here is that if i'll enable RP adding feature of Thanks Hack, previous users' thanks wont be counted. Count will start only for thanks, added after enabling the feature...
Now, as far as i understand i need to make some sql changes to get it settled as i want. Something like take values from table(s) where amount of users' thanks stored and add them to table(s) where users' RP stored accordingly...
Could you please explain, with which tables i should work? (i have somebody that will help me to deal with sql queries further)

Thanks in advance.

Maybe it would be fun if you can replace the image of paper and the blue check with one of these

<if condition="!$show['guest']">
<span id="post_thanks_box_$post[postid]">$post_thanks_box</span>
<else />
<if condition="$post_thanks_box != ''">
<span id="post_thanks_box_$post[postid]">$post_thanks_box</span>

Maybe you did not do the template edits correct or revert any of the post_thanks templates if you edited them.
