Posted April 27, 201114 yr From the recent blog entry I read that you will "follow" content rather than "like" it - is that the case? or does it just apply to topics / forums? I didn't see any reference or screenshots to a "like" link for posts - is that something that is going to be discussed later on, or is it simply not present in 3.2 - will I be able to simply "like" what someone has posted in 3.2? Thanks, Shaun :D
April 27, 201114 yr Yes, it can be both, depending on what makes sense. You "Follow" topics and forums (meaning you can get automatic updates on them), and you "Like" posts (which is an alternative to the up and down system of reputation).
April 27, 201114 yr Author Ah, okay, so there will be a like button for posts ... good, that's what I was hoping for. Thanks Rikki :)
April 27, 201114 yr Author Indeed. You will have the choice to use reputation (like in 3.1), or "Like" :) Good man ... good man ... now if only I could click "like" for your post I would ... he he he :lol:
April 27, 201114 yr In the mean time, you can click '+' to give him rep. ;) Yes, we've included a new reputation 'mode' that you can utilize if you prefer the 'like' terminology/methodology over the current reputation up/down approach.
April 27, 201114 yr And will there also be a page on which you can see which content is liked most? My users are often asking for this. Thanks!
April 30, 201114 yr Not heard of that feature though. You can possibly build it yourself with IP.Content by making a page that fetches the users with most reputation from the DB.
May 10, 201114 yr Don't have IP.Content, but would normally make a simple app for this. However, at the moment likes are not added in the database row of a post, so you have to make a difficult join (which is very resource intensive) to come up with the posts that have received the most likes. Especially heavy on a big board and over a longer period of time (> 2 days or so).
