Dislike and like count

[forumcoder]

Question 1:

Is there a way for a user (or even the admin) to get a list of the count of likes and dislikes alongside the names of the individuals giving them to that user?



Question 2:

Is it possible to have the count of total dislikes that a user sees to not include those from the users that are on his ignore list?

Cross-posted in the support forum.

The list of users that gave the likes doesn't exist outside of the post that was liked, so there's no way to obtain this information. A plugin can only work with whatever it sees on the page. It doesn't have access to the database or anything like that to allow it to obtain data that isn't normally visible anywhere in the page's source.

Not unless they're explicitly tracking who those dislikes came from which probably isn't the case due to the massive amount of data that would need to be stored to keep track of that on a larger forum. On the profile side of things the dislike plugin most likely mimics the built-in like system on the forum and just increments or decrements a number when a post is disliked.
