BTW, how about intimating the user via some kind of notification who received a like from a user  ? Like, the user should get an instant notification that "this user has liked your 'this' post"
Yay, let's copy Facebook >_> We'll see, I don't know yet.

okay sorry, forgive me.
All you had to do was *ask* how it worked, not assume it worked like things you've already seen. I'm not just copying mods already written for SMF and shoving them in, unless I'm the one who wrote the mod originally.

Haha, yes it does indeed have the requisite number of people. And it validates what I said, it does figure out a number of names and whether you liked some content or not and only displays a limited number of names. The limit on 2 is the same as XenForo does, and for the same reason: not massively multiplying the number of language strings unnecessarily to avoid affecting translators too much.

A post with enough Likes to be able to see how it works:

Not intented to copy, but the reason for this to be implemented is that, when a user likes any post of yours in a thread which contains 1000's of posts, you wont be able to find for which post the said user liked it (as it isnt either saved in your total likes count nor anywhere). Atleast the person should know for which post he got the likes.
Again, I didnt try the Likes Pro mod for SMF nor here (dont know 100% of how it is working)
I didnt purchased Likes Pro mod for SMF (all I have seen it first is in AAF forum)
It maybe already some provision there to get notified of your liked post (I dont know how exactly it is working here nor in any SMF forum where the Likes pro mod has been implemented)

I just shared my opinion for the same.


Even I have seen such thing in Xenforo forum software....similar to Facebook notifications

I find it funny that that was what you first thought of in terms of behaviour (since that works exactly how you didn't want it to). But also, did you check out a user's profile on the AAF forum? There's a whole section just on liked posts.

Yay let's copy both XenForo AND Facebook as opposed to seeing if we can't figure out a better way.

Heading towards there to study it thoroughly :D

LOL... copying for something better is always good. Windows copied MAC, but Windows is more popular/widely used than MAC !!

No, if I understand properly the problem is that it should have been fixed automatically (and magically) by Wedge! ;)

No, it is a problem, because it shouldn't be working like that. It's created things it shouldn't have done and malformed the tag as a consequence.

No, it just means you're prepared to accept mediocrity. Windows copied Mac but it's not more popular/more widely used because of it, it's more widely used because of things Microsoft did in the 1980s and 1990s to push Windows into offices and schools, not because it's better at what it does.

Re: Bug (totally not the place...): from what I see, if you reply a post that has a direct URL in it, the quote contains the url tag followed by the link (rather than just the link). Even if you added the url tags manually, maybe Wedge should be able to see that it's a URL, and not add another set of url tags around it... Url tag nesting isn't cool. Is this a problem in SMF as well? What does SMF record in the DB?

Re: Likes, I think you'd like to know that I added a Stats section earlier this morning with the Top Liked Posts. (Only 'posts' for now, since we can't like anything else anyway.) I'd like to know if you're cool with that -- because it may encourage competition, for better or for worse. Perhaps a 'More' link would be nice, with a list of all liked posts... And of course, profiles should have top posts as well.

It's not a problem for SMF, somewhere we broke it. Only the bare URL should be stored unless it's already within url tags (in which case it should be left alone)

Also, like stats... cool :)

Just a couple of things...

* stats box, shouldn't it use the thumb-up icon? :P

* do we need a way to disable it?[1]

* gotta implement caching and a way of displaying the list of everyone who likes a post in a pop-up. Not sure how that should look, does it need avatars?
 1. FWIW I don't seem to be able to disable XenForo's inbuilt one...

Nope shouldn't need avatars, just a list of names should suffice, I'm sure will disagree. A certain like mod displays the avatars and it just looks a cluttered mess to me, making the popup bigger (with more scrolling) than it needs be. I'd prefer simplicity here. If avatars will be displayed I'll BEG that there be an option to not display them as well.
Stick a fork in it SMF

Actually I wasn't even thinking of a certain mod, I was actually thinking about what XenForo does; the link where you see the list of other names appears as a huge popup on the screen (even to the point of dimming out the rest of the content) with names and avatars and stuff.

Haven't really looked a XF....

Well I just took a look now and while there implementation is a lot cleaner than my reference point my overall preference would still be just the list of names. I do admit theirs is rather nice looking though.
