Adding an on_like event

[Bennett 🚀]

I'm trying to change the words that are used for "likes", and there's no reliable way to do it because of the time the server takes to process the request and send a response back. If there would be a way to add an ajax-related after like event, that would be spectacular. Wouldn't be very hard to add either; just another argument to your ajax function call that is executed after receiving a server response. I could see it being used as either post.on_like or something.

Bumping.

Just roll your own by extending the ProBoards events.


(function(){

proboards.events.liked = [];
proboards.events.likedOne = [];

$.ajaxPrefilter(function(opts, orig_opts){
if(orig_opts.url == proboards.routeMap["post_like"]){
var orig_success = orig_opts.success;

opts.success = function(){
orig_success.apply(this, arguments);
proboards.events.run("liked");
};
}
});

})();

And an example of how to use it...


proboards.on("liked", function(){
$("span.likes").html($("span.likes").html().replace("likes", "<strong>eats</strong>"))
});
