Module: User Thank/Flame

any updates on this?

thanks :)

Not at the moment

First off, let me say that I LOVE this add-on, and on my board it is used quite heavily.

I'm having a strange issue, and wonder if anyone else is as well. In IE6, the flame feature doesn't work. If you attempt to flame someone, it thanks them instead. In all other browsers this works flawlessly, except IE6. Any ideas or suggestions?

No, I will look into it. This is strange. Could you PM me a link to your site?

BTW, thanks for the compliment. :)

I got following error when trying to vote

Fatal error: phorum_api_user_save(): missing field "user_id" in user data array in /home/eastlink/public_html/phorun/include/api/user.php on line 417

any tips?

I think a very nice addon would be to allow users to vote threads instead of (or aditionally to) users.
Then we could create two pages with Top Users (users with better ranking) and Top Threads (specially interesting)
What do you think? Do you think would be easy to create?

Thanks!

The 'Top Users' thread wouldn't be hard. I haven't worked on this mod in awhile, I guess now would be a good time to get back in the loop.

The 'phorum_api_user_save()' error may be the result of a new version of phorum. I have tested it up to 5.2.2
Also, I had a problem similar to that before, and reinstalling the phorum database fixed it. I am not sure if it is the same error (probably not), but it may be. Don't forget to backup your DB before trying it!

I will work on adding the 'Top Users' page and an options page (been working on the latter for awhile).

@justingaynor: I have been unable to find the solution to this problem, although I have been able to reproduce it.

thanks for replying and the effort in a further update

would be really difficult to add the vote threads feature.
that would be REALLY interesting, it is cool to see a top users list (to see who´s popular), but top threads voted by users make this a really useful feature

looking forward to your update.
not trying to push you, but is there any estimated finishing date?

thanks!!!

No, there is not an estimated finish date.

Okay, I'm back again with yet another problem. I want to access $PHORUM['mod_user_thank_flame']['mode'] in my templates. I only need to check it's value. How would I do that with template code, or should I use PHP? That variable is set in a settings page I am working on. When I do print($PHORUM['mod_user_thank_flame']['mode']) in my template it shows correctly.

The template language cannot access that code. You either have to fallback to pure PHP or let your module put the variable somewhere in the $PHORUM['DATA'] space to make it available to the template engine. I would go for the latter myself, to keep the templates as simple as possible.
