[AJAX] Post Groan Hack

Post Groan Hack 3.3

Click here for the vb3.6 version of this hack.

About this hack:
This hack was requested by users who like my "Post Thank You Hack". Both can run together on the same forum.

This hack adds a "groan" button to all posts. Any user can "groan" at a post. This will reduce the amount of "junk" posts your forum gets.

Features:

• Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
• Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they groan at a post.
• Places an easy to use button next to the edit button
• Separate looks for postbit and postbit_legacy
• Places all Groans into one small box
• Uses only ONE query every time you view a showthread page!
• Users can't groan twice
• Guests don't see 'groan' button
• Counts how many groans a user gives
• Counts how many groans a post gets
• Shows how many groans a user gave in every post of his
• Shows how many groans a user gave in profile
• Shows how many groans a user got
• Shows info in profile
• Search for a users groaned at posts
• Search for all groaned at posts
• Administrator can remove all Groans from a single post
• Users can remove their own Groans (Option to turn it off)
• Turn on and off hack totally
• Turn on and off hack for only some forums
• Option to turn off hack view of date all forums
• Option to integrate hack with Post Thanks Hack
• Ban Usergroups
• Ban Users
• Uses Phrases
• Cache Templates

I think I know the problem. I will be releasing an update soon. Try this for now. Turn off the view for date.

Sorry, just checked, there is no bug with the date. Make sure all the templates are reverted.

Abe1, is it posable to add function (as in Post Thank You Hack) - subtraction amount of reputation?

Reputation
Set how many reputaion points should subtract when a user gets groan. Set to '0' to disable.

Thank's

I would like to see a Post-WTF? feature or maybe a Post-Huh?

If you could set up something that would allow you to change those couple of variables to say anything as opposed to thanks and no thanks - obviously the user would have to design their own button - that would be great. I feel like I could almost do it myself but probably I'd mess it up.

If I were to duplicate the code you for this, but changed the variables around would it work?

You dont need to change the varibles. You only need to change the image and the phrases.
