Disable Like System In a Thread?

[Colin Molloy]

Southern WA Outdoors, the forum I built and administer, runs competitions Caption This, Best Photo, Tell Us a Story etc, with prizes for designation winning places determined by Members voting in a poll attached to the competition thread.

Members are requested NOT to comment on entrant's posts as this could influence others.

However, short of disabling the Like function across the whole forum, I can't see any way of disabling this in the comp thread (checked the plug in library).

I would like to be able to do that as a member liking an entry is almost as potentially influencing as post a comment.

This should do it (unless they are on mobile) , changing the red to the id of your thread and adding it to your global footer :

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
if(proboards.data('route').thread_id == "thread id here" ){
$('.likes-button').hide();
proboards.on('pageChange', function() { $('.likes-button').hide(); });
}
});
</script>

Oooops, missed a word out!


<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
if(proboards.data('route').params.thread_id == "thread id here" ){
$('.likes-button').hide();
proboards.on('pageChange', function() { $('.likes-button').hide(); });
}
});
</script>

Nope, sorry, thank you for the second shot, but still doesn't work...

Sorry about that
Not sure why it wouldn't work.... I'm just starting 2 weeks vacation but if you bump this then I'm sure someone else will jump in.

PS: the thread id should be a number and placed between the quotes. So, it would look like :

<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
if(proboards.data('route').params.thread_id == "123" ){
$('.likes-button').hide();
proboards.on('pageChange', function() { $('.likes-button').hide(); });
}
});
</script>
