Show total votes next to total replies, views and activity columns

[Fairtale]

Is there an easy way to shows total votes an post next to the total replies, views and “last activity” columns in the category list view?

i also want to know how to do this.

This would be useful for us too.

Another option would to in include “Votes” be a searchable criteria in the default search menu.

Any other known workarounds?

Is there still no news on this? I need a way to show the ‘likes’ column in the posts overview and an option to sort posts by number of likes.

This is super important to be able to organize bug-reports by priority.

I found this plugin:

Discourse Voting

Summary: This plugin is the result of the spec put together by @erlend_sh. It gives you the ability to vote on topics in a specified category. GitHub: GitHub - discourse/discourse-voting: Adds the ability for voting on a topic within a specified category in Discourse. Install: Follow the plugin installation guide. Features To enable it, edit any category, look on the settings tab for the “Allow users to vote on topics in this category” checkbox: [image] Once enabled,…

But it feels super messy:

• it creates a new ‘votes’, now overlapping with ‘likes’, which makes some people like the post, other people vote on it, and makes it hard to know which of those votes are unique;
• and it still doesn’t display the number of votes in the thread-list, which defeats the whole point;

Would be really nice to get a reply from anyone from the dev’s here, this post is so old already.

This is false. The plugin hides likes in the OP by default, so not such thing happens.

@Fairtale

and it still doesn’t display the number of votes in the thread-list, which defeats the whole point;

This is also untrue .

I not only shows the number of votes for each topic in the list, it also adds a “Votes” sorting button at the top of the topic list.

Have you had the chance to try it? You can see it live at Features - Infinite Flight Community

sorry, I based my questions on the screenshots. I will give it a try.
also, thanks for providing a link with a live version!

The limited amount of total votes and the fact that users get the vote back when a topic is closed make it a very powerful tool for

@Fairtale

organize bug-reports by priority.

Let us know how it goes!

quick question: is there a way to display the votes on the right? maybe instead of the number of replies or topic views?

I was first searching for it as one of the bigger indicators on the right, a bit of an unexpected location. Not a dealbreaker of course

That isn’t configurable, but since the information is there you can develop a theme-component that accomplishes that.

What would a theme component that includes that look like?

Is there a way to do a similar thing with search results?
