Hi, I want to add dislike button on every comment. Is there any plugin or something about that? Can you help me guys? Thanks.

I believe the easy way is to use the Retort plugin, and limit the reactions available to just your choice of dislike emoji. [image] Discourse Retort Plugin NB This has recently been given a new lease of life thanks to sponsorship of @Hifihedgehog & the community at https://forum.tabletpc.review/ and is compatible with Ember 5 and Discourse 3.2 (and so far 3.3.x), but the message is still the same, unless you really want to use Retort, please consider Reactions as that will eventually take on some of the Retort exclusive features (timeline TBD). Retort is a plugin which allows you to add slack-style reactions to posts [7vHi2j74Rg] Install it u…

Thanks @elijah, but this plugin has already been suggested two or 3 times and it’s not exactly what I’m looking for. I need those buttons because they need to tie into a reputation system at large. Basically this is becoming a huge disappointment in the software that I am unable to customize it how I’d like my forum to look…I wanted people to see the next-gen of forums, but you guys are not giving me any options in compromise for features people want to use. For our users, it’s not the point just to react to a post, but that their reaction means something within our forum ecosystem. I’m not looking for an “easy way” I have realized that it’s going to be “hard” to implement this, but again…I’m asking for a bit of direction from some knowledgeable members. Here’s what I’m asking for help on: Someone pointing me to the functionality in the code so I can recreate it for 2 other buttons. Is there anyone who knows how to do this?

Sorry to point you at the Retort plugin again, but… it is open source! Feel free to take it, limit it to a dislike reaction and then tie these reactions into the trust level system as you see fit :slight_smile:

Ok I can try to do that. Now the only issue is how! :confounded:

[image]How does the Discourse project work? How in tune with the “Discourse philosophy” is this feature? Example: downvoting / next page buttons, very much not in tune; optional anonymous posting / export personal posts, in tune. I don’t really have anything to add, but need at least 20 characters to be able to submit this :wink:

It always goes well when people think they know better than anyone else what people want. That was sarcasm, usually no one likes that guy. Too bad you guys feel the need to have 10 replies of why I shouldn’t do something instead of being of the spirit of actual free discourse. It’s like an echo chamber in here… “retort plugin…we don’t like dislike buttons…”

What do you want, exactly? Neither Discourse core nor any plugin we know of implements a dislike button that affects trust levels. If you want that, someone has to create it. If you want someone to create it for you, I recommend posting an offer in #marketplace – your chance of the team or someone else implementing it for themselves is pretty slim because it’s a rare request. If you want to do it yourself, you’ll have to do the hard work yourself. I’m sure you’ll get helpful responses here if you stumble over something and ask a concrete question! If you’re looking for the source code of the Retort plugin, it’s here. If you need general help on getting started to write plugins, here’s a guide by @eviltrout.

My issue is that there’s not a comprehensive api where I would access existing values. A la a plugin api. Looking at the Discourse github there’s a lot of files and for me, it’s kind of hard to traverse it looking for how ‘the like’ works when I don’t know the reference names even. Is it in the database? Is it an attribute? Very difficult to see, which of course is probably due to my inexperience but the fact remains plugin support and documentation seems severely lacking. Looking at the plugin guide it’s slanted towards admins customizations, instead of sitewide customizations. my whole point was if there is no access endpoint for “likes” where would I look to see the core functionality and extend it (especially when its more complicated than using handlebar outlet) ?

Or is there a debugger I can use that will show me the instance variables and routes by clicking and interacting with the web page?
