Mini Mods - Recent Thanks for [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack

Info:

• This mod works with the hack "[AJAX] Post Thank You Hack" as an addon and a) provides a page with the latest X (default: 25) "Thank You" the user has received b) notify the user via vbulletin notification menu (on navbar)
• Very useful for users who want to keep up with the "Thank You" votes on their posts.

System Requirements:

• [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack - for vB4
• vBulletin 4.x

Installation information on hack:

• Files edited: 0
• Templates edited: 0
• Files to upload: 1
• Time to install: 1 minute max

How to install:

1. Upload the file "recent_thanks.php" to your forum directory.
2. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
3. (Optional if you enable the notifications) Add the link "http://www.yourforum.com/recent_thanks.php" where you want (for example to navbar).

Notice (not a bug): The system doesn't decrease the notifications' count for new "Thank you" when the admin push the "Remove all" of a post (rare but ok). So the user will notified but he will not see the removed votes on the page.

How to upgrade:

1. Upload the new file recent_thanks.php
2. Import XML file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product] with set of "Allow Overwrite" to YES

How to upgrade from vB3 version:
This hack developed from zero for vB4, so if you upgrade your forum from vB3 to vB4 with the vB3 version of this hack on it, you must uninstall first this older version and to do a clean install of this hack (product install and new file upload).

Changelog:

• v2.5 - First release for vB4
• v2.6 - updated file, linkable usernames, admincp phrase changed, 1 bug fix
• V2.6.2 - add: who's online location (thanks to Hippy), 1 css fix

Tested on: vBulletin 4.1.11 - Post Thank You Hack 7.83

-> Don't forget to click INSTALL!

I am also using [AJAX] Post Thank You Hack

Kindly advise how i can fix this.

If you mean in the postbit, that's how the mod works I'm afraid.

However that is related to the thanks mod itself, not this mod.

[yjeanrenaud]

great mod. it works in postbit, but only shows the thanks you got and not the one another user received. so it'd be pretty nice to have it using $post variables in postbit_legacy.

how can i install this right? instructions wont help me.

[Hippy]

upload all files to your forums root dir
then in admincp import the xml file..
under manager products
at the bottom youll see
[Add/Import Product] < import xml on that page

Great mod, a definite "must have" in my opinion. I've been using this (although inactive) for quite some time due to an issue I've been experiencing. I thought I'd finally ask for some help so here it is:

I put a link on my navbar so members could see their recent thanks. However, every time I (or anyone else) clicks on it, it asks me to log in even though I was logged in previously. It doesn't affect my current log in on the forum though.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Appreciate the help.

[Hippy]

are you using this

recent_thanks.php{session.sessionurl_q}

for your target url ?
and
Product = vBulletin ?

[deltahawk5]

How can I give thanks to users? I'm trying to manually re-add them from the old platform at user's request.

When I install this on 4.2.0 and go to recent_thanks.php, it just shows as a blank page. Anyone have any ideas?

Confirmed members posting thanks have right time on their side, but all the thanks are showing up under "recent thanks" as 1 hour behind right now. Any idea what can be causing this?

3. Replace it with:

PHP Code:

$rt_date = vbdate("d-m-Y - H:i", $date_timestamp); 


Disregard my prior post, I changed "date" to "vbdate" as per the above reply and that solved my issue.

Many thanks!!
