[AJAX] Helpful Answers - Post Rating System (plus many sub-features)
Developer Last Online: Nov 2020
Note: While this modification is updated for compatibility, I am only developing features for the 4.x version. I understand many sites continue to use 3.8 for a variety of reasons but dual developing takes time away from adding anything new. I encourage you to develop out your own change and share them back as no modification is ideal for every forum out of the box.
Every day your users contribute hundreds if not thousands of posts making it hard for new members and guests to separate out the best answers from those that are less helpful. The Helpful Answers System offers your members a quick way (AJAX) to rate individual posts as either helpful or not allowing future visitors to understand the benefits of each post. Designed for maximum flexibility: This addon is built to be flexible and offers several customization options including:
Load & Scale: This addon is designed to work with small to large sites and is currently being used by sites with more than 2 million posts. If you have questions about integrating with your big board please contact me. Modification Installation: This addon requires uploading multiple files, installing a vBulletin product and enabling the feature in any forums you wish. No template modifications are required. Please see the included install file for detailed instructions. If you are not seeing the rating bar double check that you have enabled the feature in the forum you are in and insure the Manual Template override option is not enabled. Rating Review & Deletion: To identify and remove abuse a reporting system is included with this addon and can be found in your vBulletin ACP under the Helpful Answers tab. Through this panel you will be able to view a user's overall rating history and individual ratings and can remove either if necessary. Users can also be explicitly banned from the system. Reputation System Integration: Helpful Answers can be extended to directly tie into your reputation system giving users positive or negative points based on the ratings of their posts. There are numerous options on how to handle ratings that can be found in a separate Helpful Answers Reputation part of your vBulletin Settings page. External Integration: vB Plaza Modification - http://www.vbplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6359 vB Experience - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=199556 Anonymous Stats Tracking (optional): vBulletin forums reach millions of consumers around the world yet little is known about their habits and opinions. This addon was released to the public out of requests but also to further the research of forum user's behaviors and actions through collecting the most basic data on thousands of sites. By default this addon will pass basic rating data (positive or negative) to a 3rd party site for statistical purposes. Only the most basic data is captured (the vote and your site name) and no user information or specific forum details are logged, not even an IP address. While you may disable this feature through the administrative options I ask that you consider leaving it in place to help this research effort and insure the continued support of the addon. The tracking feature uses the php library cURL on a 5 second timeout. If cURL is not installed this option is automatically disabled. Updates: - 5/13/2011 - Release of 2.0.6 minor bug fix - 08/31/2009 - Release of 2.0.0 - 08/07/2009 - Release of 1.9.5 stable Other Versions: This addon will work with 3.7 but to avoid issues with different code versions please see the 3.7 version thread here. Before you download this modification please remember this is a free tool provided as a courtesy to you and support responses are subject to the availability of the author and other members. If you are looking for a professionally supported system this is not the solution for you. Download Now

When I installed 1.8.4 it does not add the vote options in posts even though the manual insert code is disabled!

I use the Articles Forum mod and would like to know if there's any way to set your mod to just show the rating in the first thread...and not the subsequent posts.
What do I need to edit in order to accomplish this...or is there a setting in the mod, itself? Update... Nevermind...found out I have to edit one of the Article Forum templates in order to accomplish this. |

This is the condition you'll want for helpful_answers_mosthelp_post
<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID'] AND $helpfulanswer[postid] != $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid']"> |

To enable it there are two options. First you may go to the forum options page for each forum and turn it on. Secondly you may use a tool included with this addon to enable it in multiple forums. The tool can be found in the helpful answers section of your Admin CP. |

Sorry to take the easy way out but there are 500 some odd posts in this thread for me to look for what I have to ask.
~Thank you for understanding~ It states there are three utility scripts attached to this post... ha_import.php ha_old.php ha_revote.php Which I believe are VERY useful tools for this mod, however before installing it I would like to have the most (for me being a 3.8 for my first version used) applicable tool, which seems to be missing from the attachments list of files as listed here. Attached Files File Type: php ha_old.php (2.7 KB, 16 views) File Type: php ha_revote.php (2.8 KB, 17 views) Where would one find the 'ha_import.php' attachment which seems to be missing? Thanks for sharing such a great add-on that is sure to make things much easier to find for many newer users who often get overwhelmed by what they would need to read through to get close to the answer they are looking for! (wonders why this isn't being utilized here LOL) Thanks for enlightening me to what I may just be overlooking, or isn't obvious to someone new here! TSG! Quote:

That's a wonderfully observant question!
ha_import.php is missing as it contained a nasty bug and needs to be redone. In the mean time you can use the modification, you just can't import those votes but I will have it back up soon! |

Thank you for your expedient reply Ted, being a bit new to this I have to ask... which votes won't I be able to import until this is re-done?
And I assume anything that has previously transpired will then still be able to be imported with out corrupting the existing stats? And is there an ETC (estimated time of completion) ? I am not trying to rush you, only make informed plans for my forums. Thanks again, TSG! |
