Feature Request: Like/Dislike Buttons + Inline Replies
Hi everyone!
I’m using the Redditish theme and looking to add:
Like/Dislike Buttons similar to Reddit/Facebook for quick reactions.
Inline Replies : Show 2 comments directly under posts on the main screen for better context.
Here’s an example of the current setup:
Questions:
Can this be done using Discourse settings or plugins?
Any tips to implement inline replies while keeping the layout clean?
Thanks for your help!

Yes these things are possible, but you may need to do some dev or go to Marketplace to get customisation like this done, as it’s a little involved.
Yes, it can be done, see Topic List Previews , where you can Like from the Topic List directly.
yes, see: Topic List Latest-Post Excerpt for an example.
For a client, I’ve once implemented a list of thumbnails to the Topic List that includes the latest images from the Topic.

That doesn’t work with Topic List Previews, right?

No, just pointing out it can be done.

You could contrive dislike buttons with Discourse Reactions

But you can’t operate those on the Topic List? (I think that’s what the OP is referring to)

Exactly, I want it to be shown on the main feed like the topic page itself.

I’m not sure you’ll get far with a feature request here – this isn’t something that we will build. You are likely better off posting in the Marketplace .

Oh. I didn’t get that. Passing judgement on a topic that you haven’t read is pretty much the opposite of Civilized Discussion.

Hahaha, true! But since I’m using a Redditish theme, it will probably show some small to medium-sized posts on the topic page itself.

I worked on it myself in the end. I did look around to see if any plugins or components were available, but nothing quite fit, so I decided to code it myself. I also had a chance to check out the marketplace, it’s really impressive!

Brilliant! Glad you got it sorted.
In that case I’ll move this out of Feature and into Support so the discussion isn’t lost.
