Count of likes

[forumcoder]

Forum URL: patriotsfans.freeforums.net

After putting in the plugins for dislikes, I see that under the avatar there is the count of both posts and dislikes. Is there also a way to have in the count of likes?

forumcoder, you would be best to ask in the plugin's support topic, where that may already be explained how to do.

Ok, I'll repeat it there.

Hello,

For displaying the count of Likes, you will need to add in your Profile and Mini Profile templates. The variable to use is: $[user.likes]

For Profile (Admin -> Themes -> Layout Templates -> User Profile -> Summary (tab). I have included the piece above it where it displays post counts. The part in green is what you want to add:

<tr>
   <td class="headings">Posts:</td>
   <td>$[user.posts]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td class="headings">Likes:</td>
   <td>$[user.likes]</td>
</tr>

For Mini Profile (Admin -> Themes -> Layout Templates -> Mini-Profile). Again, I include the surrounding code, but have highlighted the part to add in green:

{if $[user.is_member]}
   <div class="info">
      Posts: $[user.posts]{if $[user.gender]}<span class="float-right">$[user.gender.image]</span>{/if}
      <br />Likes: $[user.likes]
         {foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
            <br /><span class="$[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span>
         {/foreach}
      {if $[user.is_online]}<br /><span class="italic">Member is Online</span>{/if}
   </div><br />
{/if}

This is a variable you can add to the mini profile/profile via the templates system [ admin > themes > layout templates ].

If you open up your Mini Profile template, and look for the following line:

Posts: $[user.posts]{if $[user.gender]}<span class="float-right">$[user.gender.image]</span>{/if}

And add this below it:

<br /> Likes: $[user.likes]

If you want it added to the profile also, open up your user profile template. Select i]Summary[/i] from the tabs, and then look for the following lines:

<tr>
<td class="headings">Posts:</td>
<td>$[user.posts]</td>
</tr>

and add this below it:

<tr>
<td class="headings">Likes:</td>
<td>$[user.likes]</td>
</tr>

Thank you. That did it.  I actually moved the line in my mini-profile to below the member is on line because the dislike count from the plugin goes there and I wanted them to be together.

Thanks for the great info here.

Ive tried adding it to my mini profiles but a pop up states it would exceed the 8mb theme limit to 10mb.


how would i work around this?

[Craig]

That's interesting. Could you copy the exact message you are getting please. Adding a bit of text shouldn't add 2mb to the theme.

[ausprep]

Heres where ive added the line to:

{if $[user.is_member]}
<div class="info">
Posts: $[user.posts]{if $[user.gender]}<span class="float-right">$[user.gender.image]</span>{/if}
<br /> Likes: $[user.likes]
{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}
<br /><span class="$[user.mini_custom_field.content_class]">$[user.mini_custom_field.name]: $[user.mini_custom_field.value]</span>
{/foreach}
{if $[user.is_online]}<br /><span class="italic">Member is Online</span>{/if}


Heres the message:

Error: Action could not be completed. The action would put the theme size 8MB over the 10MB limit.

If you go into your theme manager, it should show how big the theme is.

admin > themes > theme manager

What does it so there? Also, if you go to edit the template, and save it without changing anything, does it produce the same error?

Ok, so it looks like the theme is already 8mb more than it should be. Open up the image editor for that theme, and at the bottom, you should find a block of custom theme images. Review the images there and remove any images you no longer need/use.

After doing that, what does the file size now read?

[ausprep]

5.64MB now.

annnnnd it worked!

[Craig]

Great
