Post Ranking System
by FullyTested
by FullyTested
This product does not modify any VB MySQL tables and thus can be used by all forums regardless of whether they have three thousand posts or three million posts in their database.
Also, no template edits.
In A Nutshell:
- This product provides the ability to track the quality of post contributions made by your registered members.
Each member's rank totals may be displayed (and are searchable) via the postbit template and/or public profile page. - Each post may be ranked 'up' (+1 point) or 'down' (-1 point) by your registered members. Each member may only do this once per post.
This is done via AJAX if the viewer's browser has JavaScript enabled, or via a link, if not.
Once a post has reached a certain point threshold (value is set via AdminCP), it's rank changes accordingly.
All posts start as 'Neutral'.
Positively ranked posts may have their rank changed to 'Highly Ranked' or 'Highest Ranked'.
Negatively ranked posts may have their rank changed to 'Lowly Ranked' or 'Lowest Ranked'. - Whenever a post has its rank changed, the post creator has his/her rank totals updated accordingly.
- Rank threshold values may be changed at any time., Rank totals are then updated accordingly.
- Each rank can have it's own text colour.
- Each user has the option to have 'Lowest' ranked posts hidden in a collapsed state (same as the ignore postbit). This option is turned on via the profile CP.
- Each user has the option to have 'Highest' ranked posts highlighted to destinguish them from the rest of the posts in the thread. This option is turned on via the profile CP.
- Option to have extremely low ranked posts auto 'soft' deleted. If post is subsequently undeleted, it's rank will revert to 'Low Rank'.
- Ability to email mods upon auto deletion of a post.
- Selection of usergroups that may not rank posts.
- Exclude specific forums from post ranking.
- Display user's post rank totals within the postbit template.
- Display user's post rank totals within the public profile page.
- Search for posts of a certain rank, which belong to a specific member, via the postbit or public profile page.
- Display total count, and search for, posts of a certain rank via the 'Post Ranking System' menu in AdminCP.
