Upvotes / Downvotes are finally here

[psychobunny]

Great, productivity going to grind to a halt while all three devs spend 5 days downvoting every single post we've made since day 1

Looks very good. Do I need to git pull and ./nodebb upgrade* to get this feature? And will an upvote move a response up the ladder of responses?

[psychobunny]

yup, you'll need to be on edge to get this so pull and upgrade.

what we have here is just a basic up/down vote feature - anything more specific to this ex. moving up responses, or auto-hiding / deleting posts that have too many downvotes, or thread summarization we will leave for plugins (three great plugin ideas, gogogogo!)

This brings up an interesting point. We did have an issue for topic post reordering, but I closed it because I didn't think there was enough interest for it. Now that we have upvoting and downvoting, suddenly, this issue is relevant again, so that issue may be re-opened.

This would actually be useful in certain circumstances, but I think it should be configurable whether or not the bump a post due to a weighted factor via upvoting. For example in my particular case, it WOULD serve a purpose if you could sort posts within a topic via Most Upvoted, Most Downvoted, By Date, and perhaps Favorites (not sure if this would be useful, I doubt it).

@julian, @trevor, it becomes relevant in a situation where NodeBB is used for a Q & A site, like StackOverflow.

If a response that receives the most positive votes moves to the top of the list of responses in a topic, it makes it easier to others looking for the right or most helpful answer to a question to get what they are looking for,

Perhaps implementing a feature that allows the original poster, admin or moderator to select a response as the Best Answer will be just as helpful.

Notifications when someone upvoted you?

Is there a way to an administrator can reset upvotes and downvotes or reset a users reputation?

[trevor]

Nice, now I see how it's implemented. Looks nice! I'm going to use this

Currently no, not without DB diving. IMO there will be a huge refactor of the ACP post-0.4x, which will include some more indepth user editing abilities. Hang tight.

Great feature!

What would be the best way to replace the up/down arrow icons with up/down thumbs instead? I'm guessing with CSS but don't know where to start. Any help much appreciated! Thanks!

@Chanrith this should work for you:

a[component="post/upvote"] .fa.fa-chevron-up:before {
  content: "\f164"; // code for thumbs up
}
a[component="post/downvote"] .fa.fa-chevron-down:before {
  content: "\f165"; // code for thumbs down
}
