3. Modify the SHOWTHREAD template by placing the following code(or identical code contained in the attached zip file) after the $poll variable which is around the 14th line:

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread']">
        <div style="text-align:left; padding-bottom: 5px;">
        <span id="oneclick_container">
        <noscript>$vbphrase[rating]:</noscript>
        <form action="threadrate.php?t=$threadid" method="post" id="oneclick_vote_one">

Technical comments:
Uses AJAX but will fall back to submitting the form first, or if that fails it will use <noscript> tags to display submit buttons. The fallback methods are not thoroughly tested so, if you are able, please test them and report any problems you have.

Template comments:
Be careful about moving the HTML block around because it will fail if it becomes nested inside of another form.

Recommendations after installing:
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Allow Thread Rating Vote Changes" to No
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Required Thread Rating Votes to Show Rating" to 1 (this will hopefully encourage the use of thread ratings)
- install the Thread-Ratings on Search mod which was written for 3.5.x but is compatible with 3.6.x. ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106853 )
- modify the threadrate_add phrase, In Languages & Phrases under "Search in Phrases," do a search for 'Your vote on this thread has been added' and modify it to say something more friendly/humorous

Are you a designer?
maybe you can make the HTML chunk more asthetically pleasing with images or CSS

changelog:
0.1 - initial release
0.1.1 - define JS threadid which may or may not be defined later in the page


Read this before posting
If you want to tell me what error(s) you receive, please do the following:
1. Make sure you DO NOT put the HTML chunk inside of another form it will not work at all if you do this. Please make sure it is after the $poll variable.
2. If you think the error is JS related and you are using Firefox, click Tools > Console then the Errors tab, clear it out first, then try doing the thread rating, Right-click and copy the errors related that show for your forum.
3. You did not upload the JavaScript file to the proper location

READ THIS: Set "Check Thread Rating" to Yes in vBulletin Options under "Thread Display Options (showthread)"

mmm.. nothing really stood out to me. I don't know what else I can do if I can't reproduce the problem myself

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread']">
</if>
</if>

since someone said this didn't work, you could try modifying it to this (untested but should work):

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread'] && $threadinfo['vote']==NULL">
</if>
</if>

if it still shows it, I'm not sure what else to suggest

Same for me - wrapped both suggestions around code but didn't work - vote thread still shows up. And i have "Allow Thread Rating Vote Changes" selected as No.

Perhaps one more suggestion? Thanks.

[Mr Chad]

So its not just me.

[fci]

are the users having issues using vbulletin 3.6.4 ? I just checked your site Mr Chad and you're using 3.6.3. I'm skeptical there would be any significant differences between 3.6.4 and 3.6.3. I will try doing a more thorough analyzation of why this happens but it shouldn't be this baffling.

[DPSR]

I am on 3.6.4 and facing same prob

[ubblite]

Yup, 3.6.4 here too with the same problem.

[kafi]

Any way to adopt design to the one we can see here at vb.org?
