[Request] "Thanks" extension (Page 1 of 2)

Nice idea, will try to make something like this

Similar, but not the same. e-karma count votes for/against user and counter in userinfo block always show total value.

Number of "Thanks" counts for each message separately, but in user profile you can see the total value - how many times you said thanks & how many times other users said thanks to you.

kierownik, glad to hear that someone has responded. Hope on you!

nice idea
I will use it too

thanks

Should a thank you be removed it the post is removed?

I think, it should. Otherwise, some group of users can "thank" to their own posts all the time and increase counters. Deletion by moderator will remove fake thanks.

Or do something like this:
-each post can be thanked only once
-user A can thank to user B only once

first one is easy to implement, second will require new table imo.

Members can only thank a user one time for making a particular post.

See http://testpunbb.kierownik.nl/post4.html#p4

1) But ofcourse the extension is not finished yet, that link will go to a page in the users profile that shows us the thank you's

2) I do not think that the thank you's should be a link to thank the user because there is the users info and not the posts info.

3) I first make it like how it is now and later I will try to make it so that it uses ajax.

I didn't mean that user A will vote for his post. I mean, that user A and user B will cross-vote all the time for their posts. (limitation B can be used)

I have about 3000 posts on my own forum. I can create fake user account and thank to myself 3000 times, because there will be no limitation. Then I can create another fake user account and vote next 3000 times. I will do this 3 more times, and my original user account will have 15000 Thanks.
When you will apply my limitations I will have only 5.

Second thing.
Why user A which get 50 thanks for one post is better than user B which get only 1 thanks for different post? They both do the same work - write one post.
For example there is some community (forum) which loves to watch youtube movies. Many of them are looking for some particular movie. User A found this and got 100 thanks. But there is user B too. He is responding for single queries, hard ones, and usually get 1 thank per one help. Who is better? (limitation A can be used)

kierownik - maybe you can add this as an option (in admin panel) ??

YonasH, yeah, I think now I understand your point of view
esupergood, nice idea. Or make "thanks" depending on user group.

have to look at those options and how to include them.

They are all nice ideas.

What about only thanking a person once a day?
I already put the time() in the thanks table so that would not be hard to implement?

Maybe just one more option?
I learned making my extensions, that more options gives less queries in future
Adding new option to admin panel is easy, and access to it's value even easier. Imo there should be these options:

Features:
[x] limit one thanks per post
[x] limit one thanks from user X to user Y
[__] time in minutes between gave thanks

Users group:
[x] can get thanks
[x] can give thanks

ps. on my forum I'll need some extension for get fingerprint and eye scan before write a post soon Users are crazy If I would install thanks system without limitations, then I'm sure after one week, some of them will have couple hundreds of thanks, and play who will first get a thousand

I use eKarma on my forum in the same way you mean.
Just rename "Karma +" into "Thanks" and leave "Karma -" field empty.

like here: inslnt.ru/forum

Sorry if misunderstood something and sorry for my poor eng skills.
