Title: Add Likes to comment?
Post by: Black Water on August 09, 2015, 05:28:30 PM
Would it be possible to add like a "like" button to comments? Sometimes I don't want to comment but I just want to like posts, and in a few other sites i have been on it has been included, just wondering.

I agree, there are times I want to respond to something, but I can't think of anything to say about it.

Good idea. As long as you can't 'downvote' as well.  :tu:

Something I wondered is if it could be made possible to tag members in posts so that they get a message/pop up saying that they've been mentioned. It could be useful if/when the site expqnds.

OK, so the way installing a mod for the forums works is:

-first I back up the website and databases
-then I try to install the mod
-then when it won't work for me, I ask Jedikiller for help.

I will start on the first step when I get a chance.    :cheers:

Unless the I just can't see the "Like" button anywhere, it does not look like this mod installed correctly.  I will ask Jedikiller about it at some point.


OK, I think I got it.  I think it will only work in the default theme though.  I had to enable it for certain boards.  If a clan wants it enable for their board, they can request it.

Is there any way that I get this removed but not by changing the default theme ? :(

I can probably put you in a group that cannot use or see the Like system.

It is a bit overwhelming.

Until I can make a new group, you can change to the Silent Wave theme,which is what out default is based off of.

edit:  I made the group, but since you belong to other groups the permission to see the Like button will still be there.  I can try to edit the color or something to make it less obvious, or I can use the duplicate this theme and remove the Like feature from the duplicate theme.

Dont worry then, i'll change to other themes. Maybe I find one I like lol
EDIT: Silent Wave theme has the like thing -
EDIT 2: All themes have the Like thing, but with silen wave it is blue (looks "better") so i'll just use that one

ok, I can make a duplicate silent wave theme without the like
It may take a couple of days...

I just changed the color to blue. Let me know if you have a different color suggestion.

Blue is okey until you have the theme duplicated  :cheers:

Why do I feel like some weirdo is going to go through eldritch threads and like obscure posts.

Suddenly I thought there was a facebook implementation.

Maybe Lime is a more catchy color, or something like chartreuse / lawngreen ?

Hmm. I would want to stray too far from the general colour palette of the forum, being the gray/blue thing. Although I suppose some people opt for other themes.

yes please add a SilentWave theme without the like feature.

and if possible, move it to the left of "Quote" post button, instead of at the bottom of post. It looks horrible there IMO.

Post by: Led on August 14, 2015, 08:19:03 AM
I have disabled the mod for now.

I think the button is a good idea... I just think it needs the improvements/fixes/adjustments that everyone is posting about.
