Hi,
We are currently setting up our own discourse forum and I would like to know whether there is a way to see which posts received the most likes. I looked for such feature in the statistics overview but couldn’t find anything. Then again, I might have not looked properly as I am still only getting used to all these features. Thanks for your help!
Easy way:
discourse.example.com/?order=likes (likes gives in all topics)
discourse.example.com/?order=op_likes (likes gives in OP topic aka first post of each topic)
or discourse.example.com/search type in:likes and order results by “most liked”
Hard way:
write a query for this and use Data Explorer plugin
This doesn’t seem to work properly. If I go to my user page here, this is a list of my most liked posts:
If I use search to find my most liked posts, my four most liked posts don’t appear
You cannot like your own post so your search query makes no sense…
Ok, so if that query is a list of posts I’ve liked and not my most liked posts, why does it return any of my posts? And what about this search from our forum. If I search for most liked posts I get
I don’t understand why this post isn’t on the list. 22 likes is more than 21.
You aren’t using the correct search syntax.
In the post from @dax the search term offered is in:likes whereas in your screenshots you’re adding a space and searching for in: likes - you’re adding a space between the operator and argument.
Spot the difference:
Look at the right hand side - when used correctly in:likes searches for posts you have liked. It automatically checks that box. When you add the space you’re actually searching for posts which contain the word likes:
Presumably the post with 22 likes doesn’t include the word likes, so wouldn’t be returned by the search query.
Edit: Confirmed, I just found the topic in question on unstuckpolitics.com. It won’t be returned for a query which it doesn’t match.
Is there a way to find list of all the posts made by an ‘example’ user, which has/have been liked by at least one other member?
