[RD]The "Like Option" is Defective on our Forum!

Hi

It's an independent and remotely hosted code. Unfortunately, it's being quite problematic at present. Seems there's a problem with the host site.

Perhaps best removing it for now.

*You can pop over to the code support board and see if there's any news. Occasionally, the code's maker will reply there. It's doubtful that he'll allow another coder to modify it (should the issue not be host related) Alternatively, you can try pming him:

support.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=viewprofile&user=chickenturkeybacon

Also, keep in mind that v5 will have a like/dislike system in-built. So, might want to wait for that. No release date as yet.

I also used and liked very much that code... Many ProBoards forums were using it...

Furthermore, admins from other free forums asked me some time ago (on my ProBoards forum) to give them the code, and I explained to them that it is working only for ProBoards. This code is really an asset for ProBoards. My forum members are really upset right now because this code is not working anymore.[/b] Because of sites like youtube and facebook, the like button has become almost a necessity.

My humble suggestion for ProBoards admins is to make a new similar code and include it in the Code Index (because Wonder's code I see it was removed from there): support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=codedatabase&action=display&thread=70177

I'm a Beta Tester but I'm not so much interested in the future V5, because I prefer to live in the present... Maybe our grandchildren will get to use the final version of ProBoards V5...

It seems to be working on some forums but not on others. It's probably the same code, although I'm not sure.

Would you be able to pm me your code, if possible? I'll try it out on my forum.

Thanks!

That's the same one I got, how about you Jenn?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, Eton ! Your helper code worked very well for me. The amazing thing is that it worked even in the initial form ("your_subdomain_name_here"), because the first time I used it I forgot to put my subdomain name. And it is not a coincidence, because if I remove the code, the like button doesn't work anymore. THANK YOU !

I also want to say that I'm the biggest fan of your "Any Video in Post - Eton Bones" code... I use it daily to post videos from many different sites, including videos from facebook and even vk.com

From AVIP I only use the Embed Code option. May I remove the rest of options form the code (Generic SWF Player, Generic FLV Player, Windows Media Player, Quicktime, etc.) ? I want to reduce the code size in my global header / footer, in order for the forum to load faster. I'm waiting for your answer. Thank you.

It simply re-defines a variable that used to be set in older version of ProBoards software, but no longer exists. The like code needs it to know the URL of your forum.

Mine never seemed to stop working, it seemed to be user related rather than forum related which is odd as on another forum people were saying that it didn't work although it worked for me but I added this code anyway in case other members on my forum are having the problem.
