Firstly you will need to add some CSS to your stylesheet for the thanked message display properly. Go to Administration Panel > Display > Colors > CSS stylesheet and paste the following codes.

Code:

#fa_thanks_message {
  color:#280;
  font-size:16px;
  font-weight:bold;
  text-align:center;
  background-color:#DFD;

You're free to modify the CSS to fit the style of your forum. Smile

Title : Thank you message
Placement : In the topics
Code:
$(function() {
  var message = function(child, parent) {
        var pseudo = $(child, parent).text(),
            icon = '<img src="https://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/18/21/60/73/fa_sta10.png" alt=""/>';
    
        return '<div id="fa_thanks_message">' + icon + ' The topic starter has thanked ' + pseudo + ' ! ' + icon + '</div>';
      },
      
      version = $('.bodylinewidth')[0] ? 0 : document.getElementById('wrap') ? 1 : $('.pun')[0] ? 2 : document.getElementById('ipbwrapper') ? 3 : 'badapple', // version check
      node = document.createElement(version ? 'DIV' : 'TR'),
      post = $(version ? 'div.post' : 'tr.post'),
      j = post.length,
      i = 0;
  
  if (version == 'badapple') {
    if (window.console) console.error('This plugin is not optimized for your forum version. Please contact the support for further assistance.');
    return;
  }
  
  node.id = 'fa_thanks'; // id for style modifications
  if (!version) node.innerHTML = '<td colspan="2"></td>'; // phpbb2 must have a cell as the child node
  
  for (; i < j; i++) {
    
    if ((version ? post[i] : post[i].firstChild).style.backgroundColor) { // thanked posts have the backgroundColor style property
      
      post[i].className += ' thanked'; // mark the thanked post with a class
      (version ? node : node.firstChild).innerHTML = message(['.name', 'dl > dt > strong', '.username', '.popmenubutton'][version], post[i]); // thanks message
      
      switch (version) {
        
        case 0 : // phpbb2
          node.firstChild.style.backgroundColor = post[i].firstChild.style.backgroundColor;
          node.firstChild.className = post[i].firstChild.className;
          post[i].parentNode.insertBefore(node, post[i].nextSibling);
          break;
          
        case 1 : // phpbb3
          post[i].firstChild.insertBefore(node, post[i].firstChild.lastChild.previousSibling);
          break;
          
        case 2 : // punbb
          node.className = 'postfoot';
          node.style.margin = '0';
          post[i].appendChild(node);
          break;
          
        case 3 : // invision
          node.className = 'post-footer';
          node.style.backgroundColor = post[i].style.backgroundColor;
          post[i].appendChild(node);
          break;
        
      }
      
      break; // break out of the for loop when the thanked post is found
    }
    
  }
});

Modifications :

If you want to change the structure of the thank you message, feel free to modify the message function at the top of the script. Inside this function are three parts you can modify :

1. pseudo is a variable which contains the name of the user who was thanked. You can modify the contents to be something else, or leave it as is.

2. icon is a variable which contains the image element of the star, which displays on both sides of the thank you message. If you want to change this, feel free to replace the URL in the src attribute, or change it to something completely different such as a font awesome icon.

3. Lastly is the return value which is the message itself. If you want to change around the wording or move some of the variables around, you can do this here. Just make sure not to delete the return keyword, otherwise the message will not display.


Remember to save the script, once you've done what you wanted. After this, find a thanked post and there should now be a message underneath it. thumleft

Question If the message is not displaying, please open a topic into the script and coding problems forum, and our staff will assist you.
