Post Reaction choices visable

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?

YES!! Exactly thank you @isaac btw thank you for the quick reply. I was worried this wouldn’t get seen until after the holidays :rofl:

Happy to help :slight_smile:

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:

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