Upgrade to change / do / add what?

I'm pretty sure it's not much help posting this, but I'm going to try it anyway by the smallest chance that it's possible.

There's a mod called vBActivity by DragonByte that our forum uses. This module increases activity points of the user rep'ing a post. I tried rep'ing someone's post without a mod and the points increased as expected. But when I used your mod to rep someone's post (helpful answer upvote/downvote), nothing happened. Do you possibly know any solution to this?

[Ted S]

There's no connection between the two mods from this end so voting up a post here won't impact the reputation system there. The solution would be to extend your reputation system to add points by votes which can be done with the included hooks.

But using a reputation system by vBulletin does affect it, that's why I think there's something that can be tweaked to make it work.

Right, like I said, it can almost certainly be done if you so chose to do it.

When I use this option:

Enable User Points
If enabled, users will have votes on their posts counted to display in the postbit template, their profile, etc.

What is the variable for using this in the postbit, etc.?

Yikes, that's really not well labeled, my bad

Here's the variables generated, play around to see which paint the right picture you want.

{vb:raw post.totalrank} - The total number of ratings
{vb:raw post.goodrank} - The number of good ratings
{vb:raw post.badrank} - The number of bad ratings
{vb:raw post.helpfulgood} - True if the post is positive overall (more good than bad ratings)
{vb:raw post.rate_helpfulanswer} - True if the user can rate the post (false if they are banned or have rated it).
{vb:raw post.helpfulanswerid} - True if the user has already rated the post.

Skimmed through but couldn't fine it.

Is there a variable that you can put in postbit that lists the number of votes received by others?


Looking to create a nice list of "most useful members"

[QFIT]

I came to post pretty much the same as the last poster. How do I get a list of the most helpful posters? I think this is more useful than the posters that used the function the most.

This is not something included but the data is all there (in the user table) waiting for you to build whatever display you want.

Can you give me the SQL query?

There's two columns in the usertable to use:

hagoodrank - which is the number of good rankings
hatotalrank - which is the total votes on threads

You can use either / both to sort as you see fit.

Sorry if this question has already been answered... (TL;DR and I did do a search on this thread and didn't get any relevant hits)

Can a thread be sorted by # of upvotes? That is to say, can the posts with the highest "good" rating be shown first? Are there other sort options too?

Not as a default option.

Thread sorting is assumed to be by date and us hardcoded into the system so while it's very much possible, it requires some manual hacking to accomplish.

Look at line 881 / 919 / 1002 of showthread.php
