Is there a way to have post reaction choice visible instead of having to hover?

Hey @Mark_Gaudet , Could you provide a little more context on your use case? Having the reaction options opened by default would make for a bad reading experience - [Screenshot 2025-12-19 at 8.34.53 AM]

We’re wanting to have 3 choices for posts. Heart, thumbs up and thumbs down. Basically as a way to get members feedback. Was this post helpful? Thumbs up emoji. That kind of thing

But if you have to hover you wouldn’t necessarily know there’s an option. Like a facebook option if you will. Hopefully I’m making sense.

I think I am following. Would you be hoping to see the additional buttons (thumps up, etc) in this section: [Screenshot 2025-12-19 at 8.40.48 AM] versus using the reactions plugin for selecting a reaction?

YES!! Exactly thank you @isaac btw thank you for the quick reply. I was worried this wouldn’t get seen until after the holidays :rofl:

Happy to help :slight_smile: You will need a custom solution to add this functionality. I have scanned for a existing solution on Meta but nothing came up (for me at least). If development is not your strength, you can always post on Marketplace , there are a lot of excellent developers here!

I’m not that great of a developer but one of my co-workers is a whiz. Can you provide instructions and I can pass it on?

I would start by looking at the post-menu-buttons value transformer: api.registerValueTransformer( "post-menu-buttons", ({ value: dag, context: { post } }) => { if (post.firstPost) { dag.add("your-button", ButtonComponent); } } ); :slight_smile:

sorry where would i find that? nvm all set

그렇게 이해하고 있습니다. 이 섹션에 추가 버튼(추천 등)을 보고 싶으신 건가요:

반응(Reaction) 플러그인을 사용해 이모지를 선택하는 방식과는 다르게요?
