NodeBB's version of Likes is the Favourite button, which is somewhat similar

[tedr56]

To that, I'd add

• Pages
• 'Reply Later' button

[trevor]

Just to clarify, and I don't mean to be redundant, but...

Spam protection during registration, yes.
Private messages would be nice.
I believe they are working on permissions, and groups are already implemented. Just needs some fine tuning.

Uh, likes = favorites. If you want "Likes" (like Facebook), then the only thing I can think of for now is to change name variables from Favorites to Likes.

(I speak American English, so eventually I will change some verbiage around when I get to it, no offense Canada...)

As for the like/favorite I use this on my xenforo site

[StuartH]

I forgot about Google Analytic's pretty much a must have I think.

[trevor]

@StuartH I'd like those as a plugin. It makes for a more engaging community.

[Apposl]

Wow, very cool Xenforo plugin @StuartH!

[StuartH]

Not my work but have to say my members do like post ratings and the icons are pretty cool as well.

[StuartH]

A sub categories set up would be very good especially for what I am planning, been trying to think the best look to it that would not destroy the simple layout, but would be obvious to a user.
How about when the cursor floats over a category it flips around with a sub cat list on the reverse??

Google Analytics is also available as a NodeBB plugin

[Apposl]

@psychobunny As a user it feels a bit like some posts I want to favorite and be able to find later - others I just want to like/heart, give ya a good job, buddy, and all that. Plugin.

Is it sorry thought I had been through all the plugins will look again perhaps with some glasses on

I didn't realize that until now, but I agree with you 100%. good thought

@StuartH yep - check it out on the sidebar: http://community.onehundredfreebooks.com/category/2/all-things-ohfb

In future iterations I plan on adding an optional horizontal ad below the OP

[StuartH]

I could do with a donations button, but not the boring standard Paypal zzzzz something cool to go with nodebb, not sure if this is in the road map?
Or as a short term solution enable a html box in the side bar so we can paste in the standard Paypal zzzzzz button.

To alter that request.. Ability in ACP to edit the title of Favourite. Adds a nice customization for any niche forum to cater it to their needs.

[psychobunny]

Would be nice to edit the language files in the ACP itself... maybe someday

Definitely.

Is it possible to integrate a limited voice comms say for max 5 people into nodebb as a plugin?
Just be easier when chating to other admins when on the site.
