Dislike System Companion

Plugin Info & Instructions

Dislike System:

This plugin adds a dislike button along side the like button. Place the following CSS in your forums CSS by going to Admin Panel > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet and paste the CSS at the bottom. This CSS will give the dislike button an 'active' look when you have a post disliked.

.disliked.dislikes-button { color: @buttons_active_text_color; font: @buttons_active_text_font; text-decoration: @buttons_active_text_decoration; background: @buttons_active_background; border: @buttons_active_border; }

Dislike System Companion:

This plugin will keep track of how many dislikes a user has received since the plugin's installation. You must have the dislike system plugin for this to work.You will need to place the following HTML into the mini-profile template for each theme. I would suggest putting in after <div class="info"> but ultimately it can go anywhere as long as it's before the last </div>. The HTML you need is this:

{if $[user.is_member]}<br />Dislikes: <span id="user-dislikes-number-$[user.id]"></span>{/if}

I followed your instructions but it didn't appear. Here is what I did:

Downloaded both of the plugins.

Installed both of the plugins and saved the changes.

Went in the style sheet and put the css at the very bottom of the page and saved the changes

Went in layouts/post list and added that last stuff where you said and saved the changes.

Nothing changed.

I went into manage plugins and both plugins were there and checked, so they should have been active.

I can understand why nothing showed for the count (the companion) because no dislikes have been put up. However, the dislike button also didn't appear.

I even tried adding

$[post.dislikes.button]

after the one for the likes button.

Judging by the theme changes I have seen at patriotsfans.freeforums.net^[*] you'll probably want to try it on a theme where the control buttons (quote, like, etc) have not been moved below the post instead of above where it is normally. It's not so much that it has been moved but more that it has been moved out of its parent container which bears the class of .content-head. The plugin is looking for the controls within .content-head but it is no longer there and with no forwarding address the package cannot be delivered.

I'm not intimately familiar with the plugin but I will assume it has no system to notify of a forwarding address in which case, you would need to use it on a theme where the control buttons are living at their well established and well known address. The other option would be if Muhammad won't come to the mountain then you might be able to bring the mountain to Muhammad and by that I mean wrap the controls at their new location in a div bearing the .content-head class. The repercussions of doing this of course could be harmless or it could mean even more problems for codes that might be assuming .content-head would be in the head of the post and not the foot or never contemplating that there may exist more than one in a single post, both of which are very understandable assumptions.

Thank you. Well, I enclosed it in the <dev> and the dislike button appeared.  I'll see whether the total appears as well later. Thanks again.

It worked. I tested in on a post and the dislike showed up. Furthermore, a second click removed the dislike.

Shorty I can see that if more than 2 people Like a post, if you hover over the 'Others' you can see who they were. Is there something similar for Dislikes please, since all I can see is xxx and xxx and 1 other dislike

I've got the same issue as well, there is no option to see who else has disliked the post apart from the first 2 that appear.

Is there any extra code that is needed to be added to correct this?

Hello! Thanks for posting this!

I tried following these instructions since they seemed to work for forumcoder quite well, but I haven't had much luck in getting the button to show up.

I tried the following code, but of course it's probably inaccurate from what you were telling forumcoder:

<div class="content-head">$[post.dislikes.button]</div>

Was that the code you advised forumcoder to use?

[Chris]

forumcoder had a specific template modification which required the edit he was given and we discovered that by inspecting his forum and looking for what was changed from the normal in the theme he was using, it's not a one size fits all scenario. Since I know NOTHING ABOUT YOUR SITUATION I really cannot offer any advice until you provide something on which I could base any kind of answer.

Ive not read the whole thread but after the recent Proboards issue with plugins many of our "Dislike" totals for members were reset. IS there anyway I Can manually put them back for members?

Also wondering if this can be implemented somehow. Not sure how complicated that would be.

We had a bad actor who swamped a poster with dislikes before that guy left. The Admin would like to reset the victim's dislikes, or at least edit the number. Can something be done to make that happen?

[forumcoder]

Here is an "it would be nice".

It would be nice to be able to removed from your count of dislikes anyone who you have on ignore. That way you could see the number that disagree with you from people with whom you actually converse.

The data to be able to do this are there in the existing tables, since you can now see the names of posters who disliked a specific post.  All it would take would be a filter with an "and not in (the-ones-you-ignore) when you do a count of dislikes.

Is there a modification of the existing code that would allow us to do this?

Hi Shorty. I have implemented your plugin and love it, but would like to have a little more related functionality.

For one, a user bombed another user on our forum with a very large number of dislikes before he left the forum. Is there a way for the admin to reset the dislike and/or like count.

A second is that if you have a user on ignore, to not have his dislikes count against the total both for the future and retroactively.

A third would be being able to see a list of users that did likes or dislikes of your posts with the count for each user showing alongside their names.
