The likes for non staff show in this columns when whispers are used:

there is only the topic to see for users but if you are staff there is 13 posts.

Staff:

Non-staff:

(However 16 likes still appear)

[CommunityJ]

I was wondering if there is a way to rearrange the order in which the columns appear? So that likes showed up first, then replies, etc.

I notice the likes column only picks up heart reacts, not thumbs up etc. Is there a way to include specific emoji types (sorry I don’t know CSS)

Edit there’s another thread here:

Reactions count as likes?

What about allowing good emojis and giving the possibility to push up and show love with contributions sharing only cool emotions? Then could be a plus for every community like an alien or rainbow, that should count as plus (like) by design because we have a flag for bad vibe things.

[awesomerobot (Kris)]

No, there’s no way to do this at the moment. It would require changing how the reactions plugin works.

[satonotdead]

There are plans to share the options that you are evaluating from the team?

Just curious, it’s a must for our community and could be good to discuss and contribute

Hello it’s me again with the reactions plugin updated, any plans to update this column?/ Did the reactions column change tie into this Likes column?

Discourse Reactions - plugin - Discourse Meta

Edit- I just realised it just a new comments on that thread, not that it is a new plugin, my bad

Nice Component,

I’d like the ability to select which categories are included/excluded.

Right now it is a global setting, but on some categories I don’t want to see the likes for topics.

Hi,

This extension also doesn’t extend to the mobile theme yet.

A simple heart 1 with the number next to it would look good.

[David_Ghost]

that’s a cool TC

It would be nice to have a " 0 " instead of the empty space though. And if possible, show others reactions icons.

이 테마에서 오류가 발생하고 있습니다:

[THEME 109 'Official: Add Like Column'] 테스트에서 오류를 방지하려면 `modifyClass` 호출에 `pluginId` 키를 추가하세요. 이렇게 하면 수정이 한 번만 적용되도록 보장됩니다.

문제가 여기 있는 것 같습니다:

javascripts/discourse/api-initializers/modify-topic-list.js

안녕하세요
이 컴포넌트는 매우 흥미롭지만, discourse-theme-battle-axe-v2-common과 함께 사용할 경우 충돌이 발생합니다.

방금 브라우저 개발자 콘솔에서 정보를 발견했습니다:

[THEME 59 ‘Add Like Column’] 테스트에서 오류를 방지하려면 modifyClass 호출에 pluginId 키를 추가하세요. 이렇게 하면 수정 사항이 한 번만 적용되도록 보장됩니다.

이 문제를 알리고 싶었습니다 - 제가 직접 수정할 수는 없지만요.
