[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

I'm a bit confused now that you mentioned not to re-run this script. Is there a check put in place so that it won't reimport if it exist? Should I run it or should I wait? Was hoping to completely convert over to HA, but for now, we are feeding 'thanks' into vbexperience system to generate stats via their CDP addon which allows to score members based on their activites. Since HA is not listed as a CDP addon, will need both systems until CDP addon is available. Can this be done? HA to only show status without 'voting' HA to coexist with THANKS and a nightly run of ha_import.php Hope that all makes sense. |

Interesting need.
The script will only import a vote once per user but let me dig in a little deeper and see if that would cause any problems and if so, how I can make sure it all works ok. |

Ok cooltechie, I think I've got the script you need.
Basically I've written a combination of the import routine and the recalculate votes routine such that thank you posts are reviewed, new votes are added and old ones are skipped. This builds the vote database up properly paving the way to clear the master post records (which tell the post how many people voted up/down). Finally we rebuild all of those master records off the raw votes. This should be something you can run every 24 hours or 24 seconds. Just keep in mind that there are a lot of queries involved as this is litterally checking every post to update the thankyous and rebuild the master vote record. |

I noticed another small bug - when quick replying to a thread, helpful_answers_mosthelp_post shows up under the new reply.

1. Add a separate table to store the id of any vote that is "soft-deleted". That way current code would stay the same, and only the top helpful posts page would check it. 2. Leave votes intact when hard/soft deleting a post, and clean them out with a daily cron job. That way if you soft-delete a post and go right back and restore it, it would still have its votes. |

No, just use ha_import_clean.php. It's written specifically to do what you need.
