ABGenc Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I dont know if it has been discussed before but my site's admin has told he wished we had a Favourite option for posts in forums as it was in Tweeter.What are your opinions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikestart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Isn't that basically what likes are though...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABGenc Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Actually no. In favourites, you have a list of tweets that are your favourites. In likes you can not see which posts you have liked.But these two can be combined or thought seperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jimmo Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Same thing as a "like" which is a feature now and in 3. If you want to change the verbage that is very easily done via the language strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jimmo Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Can in 3.4.7. Go here: https://foreverpontiac.com/user/1-ringo64/ and click Likes on the left.Here's it in 4.0: http://community.invisionpower.com/profile/203143-foreverpontiac/reputation/?type=forums_topic_post&change_section=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikestart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Ok, so what you're asking is essentially that they add a Likes tab to the profile view, so you can see what content someone has liked, just like on 3.4.7. I support that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can expand on that in a theme or however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vikestart Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Ah, right. It was kinda hidden since when you click "See reputation activity", it says that there's no activity There should be an "All reputation activity" section, and it should be the default one.

ABGenc Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 @Vikestart & @ForeverPontiac thanks for the information. As you can see the likes list is much more than you can handle. ( 19 pages ) The favourite list would be much more minimal if used according to what I say. But if there is a "likes" list I wonder who would bother making a favourite option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jimmo Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Completely agree to the point that it is a big list, a little hidden and not real clear once you do click it. I think that last part is due to being on IPS forum who has all the apps enabled, on a smaller forum like mine that only has Forums and Gallery I think it will become clear. The first issue of it being a big list is going to be quite common on large forums, it might be nice to be able to sort or group by, likes given and likes received but for how much I use it, 1 big list is fine. Lastly, I think what exactly you're looking for there are a bunch of innate capabilities in a browser to come back to content that you like and other ways to achieve this so 1. it's a bit of overkill to put this into the innate suite 2. like you said, the list of likes are there so digging deeper might not be needed by a large percent so why innately have it? Just my thoughts Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel F Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Are you probably talking about a bookmark feature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABGenc Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks for your thoughts @ForeverPontiac @Daniel F sounds very close.. Is there anything like that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_mortis Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Are you probably talking about a bookmark feature?A bookmark feature would be a good idea IMO, mostly for threads, though it would also be useful for particular posts in some cases. If you added something like that, it would mean that even if a thread is rarely or even never updated (so no follow notifications and it's never bumped), you would still be able to quickly go back to it.

Joel R Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yes I was thinking that this request would more similar to a Bookmarking feature than a Likes list, where you save content for future reference. I wonder if the upcoming "Content Highlights" in the IPS 4 Feature Plan can be expanded to allow user-defined content highlights ("My Favorites" "Pontiac Pointers" "Joel is Amazing"). That would provide an extensible enough system to encompass favorites / bookmarking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I've often wanted to bookmark a post, and not follow a topic.The question is do you want the author to be notified. In Twitter, they are when you "favorite" a tweet.I say no. So yes, this would be more of a bookmark feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABGenc Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 I also dont think a notification is needed in this case and yes it is better to call it a Bookmark Feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcher Technologies Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Umm... ok, i could maybe see the point of a bookmark feature in the acp like there was in 3.4.x due to the unique admin session invalidating links.... but for the front end, isn't that what your browser bookmarks are for? Most web developers are not inclined to want or attempt to duplicate browser functionality in a web software. The browser can do far better a job due to being a native program than any web app could anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Frontend not ACP. I don't want those bookmarks in my browser, I just want to mark something to read later or view later. You often switch to phone too. In IPS it stays with you.I often follow topics with the "no notification" option, so it acts as a bookmark. I know I want to reference it later but don't need any notifications. But sometimes the info is in a post, not a topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Example:See cool video (in post not topic), can't watch now, on phone at work, click "Save."Home computer, look at Saves list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shyuan Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Do we have this Bookmark feature now? I supposed not, and there's no plugin for it. Will this ever be implemented? Someone made this for xF and my existing members love it but now on IPS we do not have this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
