Post Reactions 1.0.1 [Updated: 1st May, 2016]

[BilliTheCat]

You can say it doesnt work for guests, but that is only true sometimes! The permissions are pretty shaky with this plugin.

At the moment the image only shows up when you have you mouse sitting over the link. Otherwise there is nothing showing, but the button is still the size it would be as if the the picture were there.

Meanwhile, in the window, the button is also blank, but the same size as if the image were there, and the image appears while hovered.

Once the image is posted, the words remove reaction get cut off at the same dimension as if the image were there.

My dad is here. Maybe he has something to say. I think what you have there makes perfect sense. Too bad my forum meows backwards.

BilliTheCat ,

The button will never show for guests, it's coded in to specifically not show. So not sure what you mean by "permissions are pretty shaky"...

github.com/PopThosePringles/ProBoards-Post-Reactions/blob/master/src/post_reactions.js#L20

As for the image not showing, it seems to be your theme causing the problems. You can try forcing it...

#btn-add-reaction, .controls a.button[data-reaction] {

background-image: url(http://storage.proboards.com/6199338/i/cMdz93gk9RF9VMErInAq.png) !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 20px;
background-position: center center;

}

#btn-add-reaction {

height: 27px;
width: 30px;

}

Remove the old code I gave you the other day, and try that one. Make sure to add it to your stylesheet.

Also, check your plugin key permissions are set correct, it should be read all, write staff + members.

Edit:  The problem with the "Remove Reaction" text, is that it was assumed you were removing the text to have the image.

I have an idea. I will be back later.

I want to answer this before I forget. I am going to test a few changes in my theme to see if it works as intended. My dad and I are both 100% sure that you are right. My dad keeps laughing, shaking his head, and saying, "JavaScript often doesn't work in an instant. Log out, give it a rest, and log back in, and it will be fine..." 

First, I don't know what words to use other than shaky permissions for this situation, but it is not only this plugin that this happens with. I have had a few plugins that don't always follow the set permissions all of the time. I would blame it all on my brain damage if I were the only one to notice, but a handful of staff/members have noticed. I have had a few people comment that they enjoy the anonymity of the plugin, and I agree. 95% of my site is public, and I try to make as many forms of expression available to the public as possible. I assume that many people don't want to have to add another account to their life just to participate in a forum about a free game. Before I made this site, I was a lurker on a handful of forums and rarely a member... Long story short. I would love to have the option to make this plugin available to guests all of the time. I have only had a few minor troll situations.


With the Remove Reaction part, I have the "Remove Reactions" and the prior field blank. Is there something that I should be entering in these two fields. (fields in plugin settings. ) A note about this: even when I type in my own text in the "Remove Reaction" field, the button still says' "Remove Reaction" anyway... half of the time.



I hope my rambling makes sense. Thanks for your patience.

[BilliTheCat]

The obvious just knocked me in the forehead. I have a background image in the hover and active states for the buttons in that class! I don't know enough to know why that would affect the whole button (One would think it would only affect the active and hover states), but I am guessing that if I could put that button in a separate class, the problem would be gone. That aside...

Remove reaction button. Whether I alter the settings or not, imediately after I post the reaction, the words remove reaction show up on the button. However, once the screen is refreshed, the button changes to whatever I set the settings to.

I am more than ok with the way things are on my site. Thanks for your patience. I love this plugin.

I design/create smilies. You seem to have an appreciation. Is there any sort of smiley that you really wish you had but just can't find? ...Idk... like a I-really-want-to-kick-that-cheerful-rambling-off-topic-ninja's-a**...? If so, Tell me, and I can make it appear out of gratitude for your patience.

Is there a code or a plugin or something that can be made for this where you get a notification when someone reacts to the authors post or when someone reply they get a notification there post was reacted on by a user

[Legendary]

Peter Any way to move the reactions around in the layout templates? I like where the button is, just want to move the icons around.

[Peter]

Sorry for not responding to people, I haven't received a notification for this topic for some reason. If anyone still requires help, just repost.

Legendary,

The reactions get added to a div with the class "pd-post-reactions-container", however, this div is added to the DOM just before the signature, so that means you have barely any control over it, sorry.

Maybe in a future version I will allow it to be positioned a little more freely.

I was wondering why I couldn't get it to work.



My forum is nicetomeet.proboards.com.

[toetapping]

I do have it to work now..

[Former Member]

I can't get it to work, toetapping.  What did  you do to make it work?

[Peter]

What issue are you having exactly? "can't get it to work" doesn't really help me. For example; is the button not showing? Are you struggling with the settings? ...

[Former Member]

toetapping sent me a PM to help me with this problem.

It worked on a test site, but not on my site above. When I clicked on one of the images, nothing happened. I assume, since the plugin worked on the test site, one of my codes or plugins was interfering with it working on the above forum.

I have it disabled now.

[ludachrist]

Is there any way to push the reaction icons down? They are a bit to close to the post controls for me.

P.S. In this theme, the controls are at the bottom of the posts. Peter

This is a great plugin btw! My members and I are from a different forum software and it's good to see we won't have to readjust too much thanks to this!
