It would probably take a miracle from the heavens above to restore this feature, but I’ll leave my feedback nonetheless. I have this third-party feature called “reaction in private messages," where members can express their reactions in private messages. Due to removing the hooks in v5, I was told this feature is impossible to recreate in v5; the only option is for IPS to include it in the core. This one feature is the one I missed the most in v5. I read it only takes one line of code to apply this feature. By any chance, can we react to private messages in v5?

For those that don't want it, it could be turned off. For those that argue, it should be something a third-party Dev picks up. The hook in v5 doesn't exist, so @Adriano Faria can't upgrade his resource that brought it.

Reactions exist in every other area where comments are, except messages.

If it asks for one line of code, why doesn't the third-party developer put the line by himself!🤔

Not sure why this can’t be implemented (via 3rd party) using:

1. A custom template inserted into the message

2. Have the custom template send data to a custom controller that will handle inserting/updating/etc the reaction data

This is useful, perhaps something @Adriano Faria can look into it down the line.

No way. Absolutely not. I don’t need and don’t like to reinvent the wheel.

Or… create your own class that extends Message and have that class use Reactable and you'll probably just be good to go.

Issus solved. There's a third-party v5 app for reaction to private messages.

I will buy it now, this developer is active and hardworking
