{if $[post.likes]}

[Milk]

Is there someway I can remove the <span class="likes"></span> part of the Post List Layout Template, if the post has no likes?

If the post has no likes, it still displays <span class="likes"></span>. I want to remove this span element altogether if there are no likes.
If there are likes, then I want it to appear as normal. 

Is this possible? I've tried something like this:
(but it doesn't work)

{if $[post.likes]}

$[post.likes]

{/if}

I have likes removed entirely on my themes so just hazarding a guess: can you try putting a conditional amount such as:

{if $[post.likes] >= 1}

Unfortunately, that removed the likes entirety, regardless of whether someone had liked the post or not. But thank you for trying to help!

This may be similar to the empty span that appears on labels regardless if one is applied. Does this thread help at all?

I poked around there, but it doesn't seem to be helping with my issue.

What did you try, exactly? Maybe we can work off of that. The issue that I see with what I linked to vs this span is that the span class is the same, whereas with labels an empty span produces a different class from a full one.

Perhaps Chris shed some light on the issue?

I was trying to test this out:
<script>
$('.js-no-labels').hide().parent('.thread-labels').hide();
</script>>

But in my case, I don't have a 'js-no-labels' equivalent.
If there are no likes, then it's simply an empty span.

I'm unsure if this would help, but I'm trying something like this: (still doesn't work at the moment)

<script>
   $(document).ready(function(){
       if ($(".likes").html().length > 0) {
           $('.likes').show();
       } else {
           $('.likes').hide();
       }
   });
</script>

$[post.likes] would not yield a number to compare numerically against but {if $[post.likes.total] >= 1} should so try that...


The last post about show/hide via script has me puzzled though because if it is an empty span then it should effectively be hidden anyway. The only reason to remove it is if you do not want any liking going on, an unliked post can be later liked but if that empty span is missing that will cause an error when the action to like looks for where to register this new like.

Thank you so much! It works perfectly.

Fair enough. When I made that script, I was grasping at straws trying to find a solution.
