Show Thread Enhancements - vB.org Rating System Replica

I applogize for releasing this modification again for a second time. The initial thread has gone insane and literally doubles and triples ALL of my posts each time I have responded to the thread. I am not certain why, but it only occurs in that thread, so here we go again. lol

This modification will replicate the rating system found here on vBulletin.org. There is currently a release by Magnus out there that does some of this.

This version functions just like vb.orgs.

If you wish to see how this will appear, you can view the top of any page where there is a thread here on the .org. That rating box is what you will be installing.

I mean no disrespect to Magnus for releasing this modification. (It isn't his code, but he released something very similar.) I wanted to be able to support it and update the thread as needed.

Replace with:

<span id="threadrating_current" class="smallfont"><if condition="$show['rating']"><strong>$vbphrase[rating]:</strong> <img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_rating]/rating_$thread[rating].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>" border="0" />&nbsp;&nbsp;(<phrase 1="$thread[votenum]" 2="$thread[voteavg]">$vbphrase[thread_rating_x_votes_y_average]</phrase>)</if></span>

In the above code, the smallfont class added to the opening span is optional.

Now you need to edit the phrase: thread_rating_x_votes_y_average in the acp and remove the "Thread Rating:" portion of it and save it.

Great!!! Just applied.

I noticed that somebody said the rating is not shown in 'new post' search. Same here. Is it solved? I'll keep monitoring this thread.

Thanks again for your time. Get well soon.

Any updates on djdonx's request about only showing in certain threads? I need the pretty functionality you have created, but really do not want it on every thread.

***NM, went with tDigg instead. That fit my need better. Sorry Rich***

here are the template edits in TMS (Template Modification System) XML format - if anyone has TMS installed all they need to do is import this.

Hi Rich! I hope all is well with your health.

This will be a great addition to my site however the points made by rayhua I quoted above are still issues. I can live with the rating not showing in the search for now but #2 is a serious issue since it doesn't go past the first vote. When viewing the thread you see the vote box and not the actual rating. No one can can vote now.

Has anyone figured out this issue and if so what is the fix?

Thanks

How can I increase the spacing between the rating selections so there's not a lot ofsapce to the left of the "Excellent" selection and to the right of the "Vote Now" button?

Great ad-on!//

3.6.8(2) worked fine and very easy to install!

[ctfortner]

This worked great for my site, 3.6.8 (2). very easy to add, thanks for the mod, LOVE it

[tyranny]

Installed and working perfect. Using it with GARS too and it is exactly what I am looking for.

I added the code below around your voting box so only those who can vote can see it.

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
your code here
</if>

Now it is only showing to those who can vote. I also made it show no box after voting and put the average rating inside the post as you mentioned above. Fantastic.

Thanks!
