Official - Paid vB5 Likes Summary

[glennrocksvb]

This is a much-requested vB5 mod to display Likes Summary for every post instead of the default functionality where it just displays the number of users who liked a post and you have to click on it to show the list of users.

Features:

1. Configurable mod options in AdminCP:
   • Set the default number of visible users in the Likes Summary before it says "and XX others liked this". Defaults to 3.
   • Set the Likes Summary block to display above the post signature or post footer.
   • Set the Like Summary block to display full-width or not.
   • Set the avatar of the users in the Like Summary to show or not.
   • Set avatar to round or square.
     
     
2. Updates the Likes Summary in real time as you like or unlike a post. Or even when you edit and save a post.
3. Obeys the "Can See Who Liked a Post" permission which means that if a user has no such permission as defined in the Usergroup Permissions, it will not display the names of users who like a post.
4. Obeys the "Username HTML Markup" option which means if a user in the Likes Summary belongs to a usergroup with this option set, his username in the summary will be rendered with that markup/style.
5. Uses Phrase Manager to allow customization of the phrases used in the Likes Summary.
6. Uses plugin system which means this mod is preserved and not touched during forum upgrade.
7. Small performance impact on perceived page load performance because the Likes Summary is dynamically fetched after the page has loaded.

Yes if you enabled Like in comments as implemented in one of the mods here. Try liking this comment.

Awesome!

Nice,

Out of interest on my site the ''Like'' phrase is actually ''Thanks/Thanked'' can this be altered on the phrase manager so that the Summary reads '' XYZ Sent Thanks'', you elude to this in the OP but making sure I am understanding correctly.

Cheers !

[glennrocksvb]

Yes you can.

[panzerscope]

Thanks for confirming Glenn

Nice feature. Can it be set to where it only shows summary when you hover ?

[glennrocksvb]

Yes you can with additional coding needed. But if you do that, what's the difference with the default vB5 functionality aside from the click and hover difference? The purpose of this mod is to immediately show the users who liked a post without additional action for the viewing user such as clicking or hovering.

[slowstreamer]

I see your point Glenn.

[Mitch]

This won't work for cloud will it, even though there are some hook options now available

[glennrocksvb]

It would require a different solution that would be slower than the self-hosted version as the like summary would be fetched from the server for one post at a time. In the self-hosted version, it is fetched in one call.

[Mitch]

That does not sound appealing.. Dang

Keep up the good work..

[Fleiding]

Would it be possible to move the summary to the bottom of the post above the signatures and make it spread the full width of the post?

[glennrocksvb]

I will make it an option.

What’s really cool about this is that it takes into account historical likes as well.

Hi,

May I ask if you would allow a link to your forum HERE?

Being in the UK ~ may I ask if you use Nimbus as hosts ~ ask because of previous post on hacking
