Likes system installed

[Gryzor]

I've been toying with the idea of something similar for a while now, and it's also been discussed, so here it is - a Likes system.


Description:

This wonderful mod will give our community a "Likes Tree". It gives our users an instant "birds-eye-view" of the "Likes" distribution in a topic, allowing you to easily identify the most useful/important content, no matter how many posts are involved. This new feature allows people to extract more value out of forums in less time.

Features:

o Like First or any Post. Currently set to "any"
o Show Total of Likes in Topic Header.
o Show List of Likes in Topics and same page using Ajax
o Hide any of above lists easily.
o Likes Permission in included - only registered users are set to have the capability.
o Unlike Posts. Although no "Dislike" functionality exists on purpose (it would be prone to starting in-fights etc) you can un-like a post you previously liked.
o If member already liked, Like button would be hidden.
o Show List of People Who Liked each Post in same page using Ajax.
o Total of Likes each People Received can showed (or hidden) in:
Posts.
Personal Messages.
Member List.
Profile.
o Show Top 10 Liked Topics and Users.
o Optionally Allow Owner to Like his own posts. (Total Likes received won't be increased -set to disabled).
o Anti-Spam Measure: Allow Likes for same users every X seconds.
o Show Total of Likes received by a Topic in Message Index.
o If last option is enabled, you can sort topics by Likes.



So there you have it. Above text was edited from here where you can also check some screenshots.
Let's get liking!

Dis-like!

I assume it only works in the default skin, or am I just tto stupid to find the button?

[Gryzor]

Most of the modifications only work with the default theme, that's why one of these days I'll probably remove all extra themes... Right now there are 420-odd users using the default theme and three users using three different themes

I use moderndark64, it's better for my eyes that are really sensitive from years of soldering in a basement

I'm using the Default skin, though I don't understand how this thing works or is it only meant for Admin & Moderators?

Also I've noticed the Liked under my Profile Name/Posts, is that supposed to be something else cause I noticed where you put your Liked in that other post, though it wasn't incremented beside MacDeath name.

[Gryzor]

Wait, can't you see the Like button with the thumbs-up as in the attached photo? Permissions are set right, so you should...


I'm not sure about your other question??

[fano]

Where is the like button asks a SeaMonkey 2 user 

[Gryzor]

Have you seen the screenshot?

I have now checked it under Opera 11.50, IE9, FF4.01 and Chrome Canary 13. It works everywhere...

[steve]

I have seen the jpg and there are no like buttons visible to me (except in the jpg), I am using FF4.

[Gryzor]

Oops you're right... interesting, something must be screwed with the permissions. Will look into it!

[Gryzor]

See it now? My apologies, it was a bit more complicated than I thought, had to touch some more things. I think it's working now!

[Bryce]

I see it and it works but why doesn't the Liked=0 change to Liked=1, instead there is a box in the Post saying 1 Like.

Bryce.

[Gryzor]

Huh? What 0 to 1?? If you mean, why wouldn't the state of the Like button change, this is because more than one person can like a post. If the button changed states instead of having a box then it would mean that it could only be liked by one person. While this way, I can like your post and it will read "2 Likes"

[Bryce]

No, I meant on the left hand side under my Profile picture there is:

Posts: 1.085
Liked: 0
Country:
Gender... etc.

Why does that Liked stay at zero? Or is that just for when you like ME

Bryce.

[Gryzor]

Hahahaha well, and then there's the shower....

I'll look into it, probably a missing edit in the profile php scripts.

When it works I'll go through and like all the hardware stuff 

[AMSDOS]

I see you've sorted half the puzzle out, I was referring to the other bit under the posts, attached a picture if you're not sure where that is! 

[Bryce]

Hahahaha well, and then there's the shower....

Aaarrrgh, the "Shower Nightmares" will be back again now! And my doctor said they should subside soon.

Great , that works on SeaMonkey  but... 0 liked anyway lol

Trying to fix it... not fun going through 40kB of XML

40Kb's that's nuts! 

[Gryzor]

Yes it is, and after finding nothing I reported a bug to the developer

[AMSDOS]

Maybe they have a reputation for deliberately getting things almost right?   

[Gryzor]

Who does?
