Post by rxu »

Extension Name: Thanks for posts

Converting to extension: rxu

Extension Description:: Adds the ability to thank the author (thanks to cancel), and use the rating system posts/topics/forums based on the issued of thanks. Note that you can't thank yourself.
Extension Version:: 2.0.0 (unstable)
Conversion info:: This extension is a conversion of Thanks for posts MOD for phpBB 3.0.x.

Requirements:
  • phpBB 3.2.0 (or current develop-3.2.x) or later
WARNING: How to upgrade from versions prior to 2.0.4 (it's not phpBB 3.1.x compatible!!!)
  • Disable Thanks for posts 2.0.3-dev
  • Delete /ext/gfksx/ThanksForPosts folder
  • Copy Thanks for posts 2.0.4 files into /ext/gfksx/thanksforposts folder (the difference is - all letters are lowercased)

Development repository: https://github.com/rxu/thanks_for_posts

Download URL: Download button named "Download ZIP" can be found at the development repository page.

Permissions explanation: viewtopic.php?p=14223716#p14223716

Precaution: As the ext is still in development, major changes still can be applied which could require full extension purging and reinstallation, so use it on your own risk. DO NOT install it on production boards. For testing purposes only.

Thank you rxu, I was hoping someone would convert the Thanks MOD, it's one of the few I don't want to lose if/when I upgrade to 3.1 :D Will it be a straight conversion or are you going to make any changes? Will it pick up the existing data?

This extension is designed in a way to keep the 3.0 MOD data (if any). Actually, no special conversion is needed when migrating to 3.1, all you have to do is just install this extension.
But this should be tested before using in production.

Excellent! My members have used the MOD a lot so it's great that the data won't be lost. I always test with WAMP before going live with any change. Thanks again.

As I stated in the 1st post of this topic, this ext requires RC4 or current development branch to be installed for operation.
Try the following:
OPEN
/ext/gfksx/ThanksForPosts/config/services.yml

FIND
gfksx.ThanksForPosts.notification.type.thanks:

REPLACE WITH
notification.type.thanks:

FIND
gfksx.ThanksForPosts.notification.type.thanks_remove:

REPLACE WITH
notification.type.thanks_remove:

So how exactly would you get a rating other than 100%, if you can't downvote?

I think the mostly thanked post of the board is taken for 100%, so any other posts rating is calculated from it.
In simple words, if the mostly thanked post has, say, 500 thanks, its "reput" is 100%, any other post's "reput" is ($thanks / 500) * 100 percent.
And there's kinda downvoting option - if you thanked the post, you can take that thank back.

That's weird. What phpBB exact version? Do you have mod_rewrite (or similar) enabled for your webserver?

I never tried it with upload master extension yet tbh. What is the path to TFP ext from the board root now (including folder name character case)?
