Show Thread Enhancements - SAPR: Advanced Post Rating system (ajax)

Seba's Advanced Post Rating (SAPR) system with ajax- beta 2.

What is it?
In short: this is the wet dream of every vb board owner

In big: This is much more!
This adds a thumbs up/down post rating system: youtube style.

But wait there's more!
It not only adds a post rating system that works with and without ajax, but it also adds options to filter posts (on-the-flow with javascript) based on that rating.

That way your users will be able to browse easier trough threads by setting a filter, which collapses posts under a certain rating.
It also will prevent users of flooding you're site with 3 word posts.

AND THERE'S STILL MORE! It also adds a system of 'good posts', you can set a value of what is considered as a good post, and if a post reaches this value, the author gets +1 on his good post score.
So you get to see: this user has 500 posts and 150 good posts.

AND IF THAT ISN'T ENOUGH: it's also completely configurable through the admincp.

And if you download it now you also get a very nice installation guide!!

Reminder / read this
This product is still in beta stage and it can contain bugs, backup every thing you change.

Currently the rating only works with vb 3.7, in the future 3.5 and 3.6 will also be supported, but they will not have ajax rating.

This mod works best if you use the postbit template, for postbit_legacy the filtering has few effect as collapsing still leaves a lot of the post

The good posts system still needs further development, which will be done after this beta testing

This is not a supported product, I'll fix the bugs and continue to work on it, but I'll don't answer questions, never.

doesn't work for 3.6.x. May be need some template editions. Also no group permissions in usergroup manager. Pity.

[maniguang]

good idea! however, too many templates edits required to make this work.

I run a very large board. The product does not install completely and does not uninstall correctly.

It also needs better integration with legacy profile. As many forums use that instead of the VB default. why couldn't this be made an almost full plug-in with maybe a template edit and image uploading?!

[aceofspades]

Brilliant idea for a mod!

Hi waza, there is an addon called Nurating over at www.nuhit.com that does the same and its very good.
However developer seems to be abonding this product

Is there any chance that you can take that product over?
It has many more fetures like thread reating up and down and TOP page with new, last 7 days, month preview of top threads like digg...

There are too many template edits but a nice hack. Waiting for new version.

[bada_bing]

Any chance this works with VB 3.5x

[Breathex]

Any news about this hack?
