"Like this post" (+1 functionality)

Hi forumotion

I am wondering if you can help me implement a feature to my forum. Basically I would like a +1 (like) button on every post where a user can click it and a post can gather likes, so if 6 people click it the post have 6 likes.

I am capable of doing this in javascript and have put +1 within viewtopic_body but I don’t know how to link this to users. So a user can only +1 a post once and guests cannot +1. Any ideas?

The principle is that a user can enable a Boolean which increases the “likes” variable for each post they like by +1.

Thanks for the help.

Ηello,

As it is from default there should have the +/- function. Your forum does not show that?
Oh and please provide us with a link to your forum to see (as guests) the problem.

I found the +/- functionality but I don't want a graph.

I want something that says +1 and when you click it says (+1) or whatever the score is of the post e.g. (+6). Is this possible?
