Change "likes this" phrasing

[Visions]

Does anyone know how I can change the "-user- likes this" when there's a post that someone has liked?



I'd like to rephrase it to "-user- thinks this post is okay", but I'm assuming I'll need a script to do that?

There is an "easy text switcher" plugin. Search for it in the library, I'm on mobile so I'm not gonna link it unless you can't find it. I use it for other things, I'm not sure if the like button is one of the options but you could ask in the support thread.

Hey, thanks, but that plugin doesn't support an option for what I want to do. I also don't want to use a plugin for such a small change. Was hoping it could be done a little less intrusively.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
var options = {
"likes this" : "cherishes this",
"like this" : "cherish this"
},
likeItOrNot = function () {
var a,
b = $(this);
for (a in options) {
if (b.text().indexOf(a) != -1) {
b.contents().each(function (i, e) {
if (e.nodeType == 3) {
e.data = e.data.replace(a, options[a])
}
})
}
}
}
$('.info span.likes').each(likeItOrNot)
$(document).ajaxSuccess(function (a, b, c, d, e) {
if (c && c.url == "/post/like") {
if (d && d.likes_html) {
if ("string" == typeof c.data && /post_id=(\d+)/.test(c.data) && (e = $('#post-' + RegExp.$1)).length) {
likeItOrNot.call($('.info span.likes', e)[0])
}
}
}
})
})
</script>

Change the text to what you want it to say (right now it says "cherish this") then drop it at the bottom of your post list template or in your global footer if you want to affect all themes

This is exatly what I was looking for. Too bad I'm too much of a noob to know how to implement it! How do I amend the global footer or post list template? I don't even know what those are.

Nevermind... I actually made my own plugin. Holy crap I got lucky in figuring this out.
