Hi.

1. Is this mod compatible with 5.6.6 / PHP 8?
2. Can we get via CSS something like the following screenshot?

- fullwidth, same height
- background color
- font (size, color)
- text (similar, same place at left)
- date?

Regards

1. Yes, this mod works in vB 5.6.6 and PHP 8.
2. See answers below:
   1. Full-width - Yes, there is an option to set it in full width as shown in the screenshot and screencast in the first post
   2. Background color - Yes, in the readme file, it includes a section on how to customize the style of the Likes Summary.
   3. Font - Same as #2
   4. Text - Did you mean list of users are left-aligned? If set to full-width, the list is left aligned by default.
   5. Date - This mod uses the existing Reputation API to retrieve the list of users who liked a post. Unfortunately, this API doesn't include the date when the user liked the post. The database has the date but the API doesn't fetch it. This can be fixed by editing an existing PHP file from vB5 files to include the date in the API. But this means that you'd have to re-apply this change whenever you upgrade the forum.

Hi,

Is it possible to display the list of those who have been thanked in the guest usergroup? By using a conditional in the template?

There are no permissions in the reputation system for guests so the list of likes is displayed to members but not to guests.

I asked the question there https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vb...for-the-guests

lange, just got home and checked my local vB 5.6.6 installation and it indeed they had renamed "Unregistered" usergroup into "Guests" usergroup and I can confirm that the Reputation permissions are really gone. vB might have filtered out the settings that they thought was non-applicable to guests but I guess they removed Reputation permissions by mistake. They should have at least kept the "Can see who liked a post" permission because some forum owners may want to allow this for guests.

Thank you for your reply at vbulletin.com.

It is now clear, the permissions for the guests have been filtered.

Just a comment though : by filtering, filtering and filtering, vBulletin does not stand out from the competition, it even pushes the old forum owners to go towards the competition.

Hi,

Only to say that we lost the image of all avatars when we tried to move them from the database to the filesystem. The avatars must be recreated. Fortunately, I had made a backup yesterday.

It's definitely related to this same issue:

nice mod, a management of the statistics of the likes given or received would also be interesting.

Are there any plans to make a configurable background color for the mod, specifically when using the dark VB style?

Are there any plans to make a configurable background color for the mod, specifically when using the dark VB style?

You can do this manually. If you "inspect" (left click after the full stop inside the box, right click and select inspect) you should be able to change the background colour. When you have the desired combination you can amend the ".vmtr-likeSummary" template, or create a new custom css.

I found the font size was too big compared to my post font and added a font amendment to make the box smaller and add my page font style, and darken the border.

Unless I am misunderstanding the question

Cheers,

Steve

Steve English is right. To change the background color of the Likes Summary section, you can add this custom CSS in css_additional template:

.vmtr-likeSummary {
    background-color: #ccc !important;
}

Adjust the color accordingly.
