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 -

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:
versus using the reactions plugin for selecting a reaction?

Happy to help 🙂
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:
```gjs
api.registerValueTransformer(
"post-menu-buttons",
({ value: dag, context: { post } }) => {
if (post.firstPost) {
dag.add("your-button", ButtonComponent);
}
}
);
```
