Hi there,

Just that... what's the difference between this two options? What's the idea or target for each of them? How do you use it in your forum?

Cheers,

Ibai

I think something 'helpful' is when someone goes above and beyond, like helping someone. The reactions are good, and you might have one for being helpful, but it seems like another way to give value. I use it a fair bit on here as a marker. 🙂

Hi @Ibai,

Reactions award reputation points to the author of the content. Each reaction can increase or decrease the author's reputation points total (or leave it unchanged). It is used on my community in the exact same way as here on Invision Community.

Helpful provides a clear and definite answer to the topic starter's question or concern. We also take advantage of featuring the most helpful post when 5 or more people find that post helpful. This allows for new members and guests to find answers to questions quickly without having to read through too many posts, or where someone wants to avoid discussion and seek only the answer.

This is 100% accuracy. There any setting that le me build a section, or widget to display these Helpful posts? This will let us to organice better the forum content and convert these posts as knowledge center for differents purposes.

 

widget to display these Helpful posts?

Not exactly what you want but I have an app that displays the most helpful members on a widget: https://www.sosinvision.com.br/index.php?/file/441-most-helpful/

Anyway, not hard to make one to display the post content.

I’ll add a link in the number there to a profile tab listing the posts.
