I've recently installed AF and it is fantastic. One thing I haven't been able to find is a drupal module to allow users to hit a button to "say thanks" to each other. I figured I would ask here as if one exists then someone is probably using it with AF.

The idea is each forum post has an extra button to say thanks to the poster. Then the number of thanks and the people who said thanks can be added to the bottom of a post. It avoids cluttering your forum with redundant posts from people all saying thank you to someone for a useful post.

Here's a vbulletin mod that does the same thing with a more complete description:

The module part sounds like http://drupal.org/project/kudos . I don't know how well it works with AF because I've never used it. If there's some integration that needs to be done, I'd be willing to look at a patch. It's not something I would be writing, though, because I don't have a use for it.

Thanks Michelle, Kudos looks like it is just about right.

It needs a bit of work to integrate though - I'll post further info if/when we do so.

We're currently doing an upgrade from Drupal 5 to 6 so it won't even be looked at until that is complete.

Are there any news about this? The Kudos-Module is not working at all. :-(

We ended up using the flag module. Its pretty simple - you just need a separate flag for saying thanks on a node and a comment. You can even set it up to reverse the thanks if people want to take it back. Then you just need a little code in your template.php to add the list of users that said thanks to a node or comment.

Is there any kind of a tutorial for that? :)
I'd like to put a little box under each post with a list of users who thanked the node/comment above. When I get you right, this should be possible with views, isn't it?
