Comment:

We never liked karma in SMF. We don't like the idea that people get thumbs down on the basis of a message, but they never get to know which posts got them that reputation. Plus -- it's a bit of an ego trip.

Implementing 'like' buttons on posts/topics is a better way of actually guiding people through a user's best posts. We're hoping to implement the feature in every possible feature, such as media items.

The structure already implemented allows for liking any structure in theory - even plugin-added ones, and there's already the foundation for even doing it through AJAX, just more UI work needs to be done; most of the core was added in enough time to get it on wedge.org with more to follow ;)

:edit: October 2014: added support for multiple like types; renamed to 'Reactions'.

Eheh :)
Since Pete wrote the feature, I think he should be the one to update the first post in the list.
How much has it reached now...? 50% completion? 60%? 90%?
It all depends on how much we're going to add later...

Certainly 60%.

Let's say 61% once we fix the 'x and y like this' div to not stand out too much compared to the rest of the post ;)

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but something I like:

If dislike *is* implemented (I don't mind either way), a certain amount of dislikes would send an automatic report to the administrator to have it checked out. That would be sweet :) Just popping ideas around! :D

We decided against Dislikes quite some time ago.
Either reddit or Facebook. Can't have both!

Did we? I don't actually remember that, but I guess the likes structure has no support for it at the present time.

If we didn't, at least I consider we did ;)

Oh, just wanted to be sure... Likes are associated to a post ID, right? So, if we merge or split a topic, Likes are kept everytime?
(I'm 99% positive it's yes, but I would be mad at myself for not making sure of it.)

Also, it may be possible that I forgot to deal with parent posts when splitting and merging topics. That, I'm 40% positive I dealt with them...
Not that it matters much for now (we're not using that field), but it may in the future...

Correct, yes, it's always on post id, never topic.

We'll figure it out. There's always maintenance and find/repair routines we can make ;)

Sure, but I'd rather we have a clean codebase to begin with... :lol:

Is it as desired, that we're not caching likes in the posts table...? (ot topic table even? per first-post or for all posts in the topic?)

I could see it as an interesting sort method, even if we still need to tell if our own likes are in these.

Well... if it's being done for sorting, it makes no difference whether a given person's is in there or not, since you'd just be sorting based on the like count of a topic.

I didn't bother putting it there since I didn't really see that much of a use for it at that level...

Well, we can always add this later and do a small script to import all data from the likes table of course...

Of course we can :) I'm just not sure we need it at this point in time ;)
