[AJAX] Helpful Answers - Allow Users To Rate Individual Posts

05-02-2011, 08:39 AM

So far Helpful Answers has been used over 1,000,000 times by hundreds of forums.
If you're not using helpful answers your users are looking for it

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:

* The ability to use image or text ratings.
* The ability to offer yes/no or scaled 1-10 point ranking.
* The ability to turn off negative ratings for a positive only system.
* The ability to decide which forums are open for helpful answer ratings.
* The ability to audit the system and identify top users and potential abusers.
* The ability to ban specific members from using the system.
* The ability to customize the AJAX message shown after a post is rated.
* The ability to edit all text and messages through phrases.
* The ability to show a page with the top helpful posts.
* The ability to show rating stats on a user's profile.
* Integration with the reputation system for ratings.
* The ability to hide posts that rate "too low"
* Template driven display that can easily be customized to your forum.

For advanced users template conditionals and variables let you further extend the functionality to color highlight good or bad posts include ratings in user’s profiles and much more.

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.

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.

You can disable this through the admin.

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.

Updating From 3.x:
To upgrade you must reupload all of the .php files and install the new product file.

Template changes will be overwritten to upgrade.
All vote history will be imported.

Updated To Version: 2.4
Removed Reporting Option To Fix cURL Issues

Version 2.3.2

Helpful Answers - хак позволяет пользователям оценивать сообщения как полезные или нет

Автор: Ted Sindzinski
Текущая версия: 2.1.4
Первоисточник: www.vbulletin.org
Версии vBulletin: 4.1.x. Не работает на vBulletin 3.8.х и ниже.
Описание:

Хак позволяет пользователям оценивать сообщения как полезные или бесполезные. Имеет множество опций, которые позволяют настроить хак по своему вкусу. Ведётся статистика оценённых сообщений в профиле пользователя. Есть возможность включения влияния оценок на репутацию автора сообщения. Хак может быть включён как во всём форуме, так и только в определённых его разделах. Имеется возможность отключить отрицательные оценки и пользователи смогут либо оценить сообщение как полезное, либо не оценивать его вообще. Есть возможность скрыть сообщения, если оно получило определённое количество отрицательных оценок. Вверху темы добавляется ссылка на первое полезное сообщение темы (по результатам наибольшей оценки). Есть возможность запретить оценивать сообщения группам пользователей, запретить оценку первого сообщения темы, разрешить оценивать лишь одно сообщения в теме. Защита от накрутки - можно установить лимит на количество оценок в сутки.

Установка

P.S: Ну вот вроде всё... Ещё какие-то нарекания??? =)
