Forum Like Facility - A Work in Progress…..

[rocket]

just tested in a thread and no changes to the user (my) rights seen, sure Peter will find the reason…

might only be in new started threads after the "like" function was enabled

[Giles]

Thanks.  Peter is on the case, but he's fecked his right hand and can't use it.  Makes programming a tad tricky…..

[rocket]

oh sorry to hear, hey all the best Peter…

maybe it would be better if the numbers of "likes", given for a single post, just would get saved for that single post and not for all the "likes" someone has in total.

cuz atm, if someone`s getting "likes" for a single post, the "likes" from that post are getting aggregated to the likes of another post and not just only for that single post one is actually liking.

hope you get what i mean. and sorry if this wasn´t the actual intention of the like function!

[Giles]

nope dunno what you mean…..Send Shoque a PM in German if easier....

[Seul]

Liked not displayed as a total in your forum profile, but displayed in the 'liked' post…

[rocket]

think what Finn means is that if someone click on the "like" that it should count towards the liked posting and not to the original posting member itself…

[Finn666]

edit: thanks seul and rocket!

@Giles:

nope dunno what you mean…..

well atm you (G.) have 11 likes in total like seen under your avatar "all the time"…so wouldn´t it be better if the numbers of likes just would show for that actual post one´s liking.

the system now:
post 1:  11 people liking the post      -> 11 likes visible in total!
post 2:    5 people liking the post      -> (11 + 5)= 16 likes visible in total!

the system i´ve in mind:
post 1:  11 people liking the post      -> 11 likes visible for this post only!
post 2:    5 people liking the post      ->  5 likes visible for this post only!

got it?

so you want a like posting counter to show the value of a posting, instead of to value the member itself, right

not intended to work with tapatalk I assume?
so basically sufu rep without the neg part?

fixed…but yeah, you got it!

so actually i´m suggesting the same like-feature as the one on facebook.

[rocket]

yeah suggest is better…

[Giles]

Not sure if this is possible….Peter?

Poor onehanded feller… What started as A Simple Plan... 

[dave]

I feel partly responsible for this.. Thanks!  I'm not much of a commenter, but I'm one hell of a liker

[rocket]

I would prefer to see more postings, the like button is not meant to getting more lazy…

[dave]

Aye, but this has always been a personal trait of mine.  Must be the business I'm in…

[shoque]

rocket: very good point

finn: I get your point, Giles and I will discuss a bit where we want to go with the like function

when you said fb-like behavior, you mean a post-based like counter correct?

what if we just let people like the first post of a thread (a thread-representative like button thus).

damn, i hope i'll get rid of my splint next week, this would make my work much more effective.

what the hell did you do? get well soon…

I kinda like Finn's point, to value the quality of a single posting with the like button, instead of valuing the member itself, doing both would also be a option, depending on how difficult it actual is, to do this for every single posting...
