vB5 Likes Summary

[NumNum]

Steve English is right. To change the background color of the Likes Summary section, you can add this custom CSS in css_additional template:

.vmtr-likeSummary {
background-color: #ccc !important;
}

Adjust the color accordingly.

Sometimes, the obvious eludes us. Thanks, Gents!

Hi, before I purchase this mod will this be available for 6.0.6?

[glennrocksvb]

Unfortunately, no. The Likes system in vB5 (which the mod is based from) has been replaced by the new Reactions system in vB6. vBulletin didn't make them compatible with each other.

The existing Reactions system in vB6 lists down the number of reactions per emoji and displays the users who reacted on hover. This behaves similar to how Facebook does it. I'm not sure what else a third-party mod can do to improve it.

What do you think the Reactions system is missing that you are looking for to be added?

Looking good - some testing to do now!

glennrocksvb Hi - really sorry to ask, but do you have a record of whether I bought this mod originally? I don't think I have used it, but from my post, I may have.

Hi Glenn,
I reported a problem with this add-on 5 or 6 years ago but didn't follow it up. The add-on works fine but I get 1000's of errors in the windows server application log.

Turns out the problem is that IIS sees the colon in the URL and it's using a restricted character
eg: vmtrlikesummary:likeSummary

Is there an easy fix to stop it filling my logs?

    Exception type: HttpException
    Exception message: A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (:).
   at System.Web.HttpRequest.ValidateInputIfRequiredByConfig()
   at System.Web.HttpApplication.PipelineStepManager.ValidateHelper(HttpContext context)

 
 
Request information:
    Request URL: https://mydomain.here:443/ajax/api/vmtrlikesummary:likeSummary/get
    Request path: /ajax/api/vmtrlikesummary:likeSummary/get  ​

The URL format is correct for vBulletin 5 (and 6 for that matter). vBulletin's AJAX API intentionally uses the format /ajax/api/package:method/action, so the colon is expected and is not generated incorrectly by the plugin.

Since the plugin is functioning normally, the exception appears to be coming from ASP.NET/IIS request validation rather than from PHP or the plugin itself. This is a server configuration issue or an IIS/ASP.NET logging behavior, not an application error.

To eliminate the log entries, please investigate these:

• IIS Handler Mappings (ensure PHP/FastCGI handles these requests)
• web.config request validation settings
• Any ASP.NET modules that inspect all incoming requests
• URL Rewrite rules
• IIS Request Filtering
