Post Thank You Hack 4.5




About this hack:
One of the biggest problems on forums as you may know is 'posts boosting'. There are users who LOVE to say 'thanks' when ever they can. How can it hurt? Their post count goes up, they have nothing to loose.

There are also users who really like to express their thanks to post but don't like posting a post that looks like they're post boosting.

Then comes the moderators who have to delete people's thanks yous so a thread can look readable with out the thanks yous thrown around.

Finally comes the posters of these useful posts. They have no idea how many people really likes their posts if only some people say 'thanks'.

What this hack does is fix ALL these problems - except those users who like post boosting. This places a button called 'thanks.' When a user clicks on it, it places his username in a box right under the post saying that so-and-so says 'thanks' for the post. Every-one who clicks is placed in one box.

By giving your users the extra feature, you forum will look allot nice and organized. It is a granted liking by ALL the members of your forum.

Features:
  • Uses vBulletin easy Product installer/updater/uninstaller
  • Uses AJAX technology so your users don't have to refresh when they thank.

I also had another feature request from one of my members:
I'll see what I can do. I'm not looking realy into added new features until I release the version for vb 3.6.

is it possible if i do not want the users to be shown below the post bit? it is making the post browsing page longer.

what if:

- the user says thanks to the post
- there is a "your thanks has been accepted" alert
- the button changed from thanks to remove thanks?

is the above possible?

btw, i think this will be useful:

to allow the users to find thanked post by a particular user from the postbit/postbit_legacy, find:

Code:
	<if condition="$show['search']">
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_more_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
and add:

Code:
		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=findthanks&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_search_user]</phrase></a></td></tr>
below it

Hello there! Thank you for picking up on my request.

What I mean is, in the feature list at the top it says:
- Counts how many thanks a post gets

However, there is no way to display this. I would really, really love it if this could be phrased so it can be shown with a post. And the same with the post groan function, as they are husband and wife.

It does already. Right above all the thanks it was the number of thanks the post has. If it is one or zero, it does not have a number.

Try the current version. 2.0 is VERY old.

Hm, perhaps this is not working as it should for some reason. Probably because of me. Or is it because it's 3.6RC3? Seems to be working fine though.

Right above all the thanks, according to your instructions, I have:

Code:
$vbphrase[post_thanks_thanks]: $post[post_thanks_user_amount]
This is currently displaying how many posts that user has given in total across the whole forum. Below that I have:

Code:
<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times_on] == 1">
$vbphrase[post_thanks_time_post]
<else />
<if condition="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts_on] == 1">
<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_post]</phrase>
<else />
<phrase 1="$post[post_thanks_thanked_times]" 2="$post[post_thanks_thanked_posts]">$vbphrase[post_thanks_times_posts]</phrase>
</if>
</if>
Which is currently showing how many thanks that user has received in total from across the whole forum, and how many posts they received the thanks from.

Nothing is allowing me to show how many thanks an individual post has received.

The second one.

The first is showing how many this user gave.
