[nodebb-plugin-reactions] Reactions plugin for NodeBB

[baris]

Try moving the plugin after the theme in /admin/extend/plugins. There is a Order active plugins button there. After moving it rebuild and restart nodebb. Reactions plugin needs to be after the theme in plugin loading order.

@baris

that's works. simple and good to know. I got pissed off over nothing.
Thanks for the help

@baris not sure if anyone else has reported this, but if you add a reaction to a post, general speed in terms of loading posts gains an unwanted 2 second lag which you can only get rid of by reloading the page?

EDIT - this same issue happens actually on using any Emoji from nodebb-plugin-emoji so letting @PitaJ know also

@baris

I see this on nodebb console when I click on the + to add a reaction

Please keep in mind this is a third party plugin, so it is not up to @baris to fix

@DownPW What is your nodebb version?
Because mine works fine, v3.2

[DownPW]

@julian sorry for that
@josef 3.2.3

Reaction work fine but I see this in console like explain above

This is really a plugin with great potential that is used a lot in our forum. But I am missing some elements:

1. notifications of how and by whom a post was reacted to. Currently you only see this when you go back to your post.

2. on a mobile device you can not see who all has reacted to a post. You can see the number but not by whom. You can only tap on the reaction and then react as well. A listing as with Likes would be nice.

3. I would like to see a separate selection of reaction emojis, not identical to the (custom) emojis list. I'm thinking of providing only 3-5 emojis to react.

@julian is it still possible that you reintroduce another reactions plugin?

@dave1904 I'm with you on this. My biggest issue is the really bizarre 2 second delay it adds to actions in the forum after you use it which can only be shaken off with a site reload in the browser.

@dave1904 depending on feasibility it may be easier to build this in to the emoji plugin.

[dave1904]

@julian The problem I see is that the actually very cool feature of linking a reaction to reputation is not clear with the mass of emojis unless you add a rule to each emoji. I already have over 60 custom emojis, plus the standard emojis. Also, why should you be able to react to a post with a mountain cableway emoji. .

The idea I have is to completely dispense with upvotes and instead regulate reputation solely through a few reactions. Thumbs up , thank you , helpful - something like that.

But I completely understand your point about the previous way being easier. I think the first two points are much more important anyway, as I've received quite a few inquiries about why there are no notifications on reactions and the presentation on mobile devices.

Published a new version(2.1.6) of this plugin for NodeBB 3.3.0

Changes:

• Update acp with the new design
• Add chat message reactions
• Ability to toggle reaction support on posts/chats from the ACP
• Optimized loading of data, tooltips are only created if you mouseover a reaction instead of loading every single user who reacted on page load.
