This is a modification to the Buddypress Like plugin by Alex Hempton-Smith. All the credit goes to those guys. I’ve modified the plugin according to my requirements. Out of the box, buddypress like plugin supports like or unlike one at a time. Furthermore it doesn’t really add to the ‘unlikes’ count for any item, it rather removes the like. So basically it works as ‘like’ and ‘remove like’. I’ve added/updated the following:
- Simultaneous like and unlike/dislike button, together side by side.
So user can either do a ‘like’ or an ‘unlike’/'dislike’ which are obviously mutually exclusive. - Once liked you can only unlike it and vice-versa
The moment i am writing this post, there isn’t any buddypress plugin which supports both like and dislike button. So if you have a similar requirement, feel free to download my version of the plugin.
But there’s one thing that you must be informed of: Respecting all the hardwork put behind coding the plugin, i’ve kept the author url, plugin url intact. So if the guys at bplike.wordpress.com release an update to their plugin and you happen to install the update, you’ll override all the changes . Just so you know..
You can find the stylesheet and icons for like/dislike under ‘_inc’ folder of the plugin, in case you want to change them.
this is great plugin! How can I remove the text”like” and”unlike” ,just keep the icon?
i tried this plugin and it’s great! just one question, i does not appear on reply post (comments) in activity stream. am i missing something or that function is not included?
Nope, it only appears for the main activity items and not for the underlying comments etc..
would it be possible to generate a notification when a user likes something ?
Hi ,
Andrés Felipe López G. or Chandan, do you mean that this plugin doesn’t have any MySQL database table with “likes/dislikes” of all/separate user?
Looks like plugin Buddypress Like won’t be developed anymore. It would be greate if you, Chandan, could continue its development.
BTW, in Firefox I cannot comment here, since “Visual” tab is locked, but “Text” tab cannot be switched at all.
thanks!
Hi Chandan, what do You need to see this and make this plugin records the people? another thing is “like” makes an activity update but “dislike” doesn’t.
Hey there. Great plugin rewrite. I’m using it successfully on my community’s site.
However, I’m running into a strange error. When a user clicks “Like” they see the “Dislike” button change to say “Dislike (1)”.
It would also be nice to see an almost-complete revision of this plugin to aggregate a list of Likers and Dislikers and possibly separate numbers of both. Let me know if you’d like to invest some time in that and I’ll see about funding your adventure.
Thanks for the plugin.
Is it possible to have these 2 buttons under each forum topic ? (I don’t use activity)
