[nodebb-plugin-ns-likes] NS Likes

[Nicolas]

NodeBB Likes

Tradional Like system, like on various social networks. This plugin uses NodeBB Vote System, but as you can see only up-votes
Same as default chevrons, plugin uses sockets to update in real-time.

How does it look like?

It's a small widget (Bootstrap, extra small button).

It's a split button:

• left part is toggle button, to like/unlike
• right part is count button, to show likers

[julian]

Awesome work!

.... what's the ns stand for?

[Nicolas]

@julian just a namespace for plugins

[julian]

With the new changes to npm, maybe you can even do

npm i nicolas/nodebb-plugin-myplugin

[Nicolas]

Version 1.1.0

Changelog:

• Compatibility with 0.9 forum
• Change color accordingly to the number of likes (color blending)

Higher value of likes, more intense is target color.

Default: On 8 likes will be most intensive target color - #4CAF50 (green)

@Nicolas I came across this plug in and its a great one to make it more like social media where users already are used to.

I have installed this one from ACP and activated the plug-in. I am on nodebb 9.3.
I am not a programmer and dont understand scripts.

If you could help me with the following, will be great. I located the file post.tpl under the path in my server /nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/partials/topic/post.tpl

1.where exactly i should add the line <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/likes_post.tpl -->
2.which exact line i should remove to (delete default one, with chevrons) is
in it will be very helpful.
**3. Also as part of the installation, is there a file /nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/partials/topic/likes_post.tpl expected to be created ? I don't see such file in the folder.

Any advice and help will be useful.

@ngsankar

Swap this code https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/blob/master/templates/partials/topic/post.tpl#L67-L81 on plugin import <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/likes_post.tpl -->

[ngsankar]

@Nicolas Thank you for your reply.

1. After the plugin is activated, should I automatically have the file likes_tpl created under /nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-theme-persona/templates/partials/topic/ ?

2. I didnt hv any file created in that path.

3. I uninstalled the plug i ACP and installed in server using npm install nodebb-plugin-ns-likes

4. Got the following warnings....is it an issue ? also i dont see likes_tpl . should i create the file myself ? I know it sounds as a basic question, but will ask anyway. thank you for your patience.

For plugin installation use ACP: Plugin management page.If you can't find plugin on Plugin page, it means, plugin ins't compatible with your forum.
After plugin installation, restart NodeBB.

[ngsankar]

@Nicolas Thank you, i could make it work with this help. It works great.

[Gaurav Grv Robinson]

Any palns for NodeBB v1.0.1 compatibility ?

[Nicolas]

Plugin doesn't work with v1.0.1 ?

[Gaurav Grv Robinson]

@Nicolas Can't find your likes or awards plugin in the plugins section of nodebb. So, if I can't find it then its not meant for 1.0.1 yet, I guess.

[Nicolas]

Version 2.0.0

New version is available, summary: compatibility with NodeBB v1 and better UX.

• Compatibility with 1.0 forum
• Interactivity for voters
• Window with extended list of voters
• Introduced Language support: en_US

By clicking on others it will open window with users preview.

@Nicolas I love this plugin. but it is incompatible with Nodebb v1.0.3. Will there be a fix in the future?

[Nicolas]

Why is it incompatible?
1.0.3 is just a patch update. Plugin should work well.

[noobbb]

@Nicolas I wish I knew. I would be happy to provide whatever information you need. Things I have tried so far:

● re-order ns likes to top (just after persona theme) and right at the bottom. No difference.
● disabled acp > settings > reputation

I don't see any option for ns likes under acp > plugins. I'm not sure if there is supposed to be a menu here.

[Nicolas]

@noobbb did you do a change to your theme - https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-likes#themes ?

[noobbb]

@Nicolas I did not. Will try that when I wake up Thank you.

[noobbb]

@Nicolas I have a 502 gateway error. I acp installed ns like > activated it > did the code swap eg edited the template file to replace the reputation section with <!-- IMPORT partials/topic/likes_post.tpl --> > reloaded my forum > 502 gateway error

I tried cold booting my server. Still 502. Am I missing anything else?
