I Like This allows more than one Like per user in 2.1

whu606

In 2.1, when a user clicks Like, the Unlike link shows as expected.

However, if the user leaves the discussion thread, and then navigates back, the Like link shows again, allowing them to 're-like' the comment.

Is there any easy fix for this?

Thanks.

which version of I Like This ( Plugin )

@whu606

I haven't looked but...

• you might see if this happens as a regular member (not admin).
• and look into the caching in the plugin itself. it might not to reread database to see if like was clicked already. A good project for you - lots of stuff to decipher in there from what I recall.

should be easy to solve. Easy (for me) as long as I'm not the one solving it .

can you provide a link to where this is happening? I updated the plugin to work with 2.1 a while back, and tested it on a couple forums.

super helpful.

Thanks.

It's happening here: http://www.whu606.com/ for members and admins.

I've PM'd you a test user account.

Could it be because I used porter to move over my DB?

Should I delete the table record and reinstall the plugin?

I've verified the behavior you are seeing on your site, and reproduced it on one of my test environments. I'll look into the cause and post a revised version.

hbf

it appears that the model behavior changed in 2.1 and it's returning the wrong type of data. I'll fix it.

hbf

ok... it's fixed, im tieing up a few loose ends and i'll post the update.

@whu606

go grab version .7. no need to uninstall, just over-write all of the files in the plugin folder.

@hbf

@whu606

in version 0.7 and vanilla 2.1b1 (for normal logged in users and admin).

can you replicate this - or is just me

http://yourforum/vanilla2/index.php?p=/discussion/Like/36

or

http://yourforum/vanilla2/discussion/Like/40

If i run this 50 times as a regular user I get 50 likes.


where...
discussion/Like/(any discussion I want).   I can start racking up the points.

still looks like it might need to check db before update.

@whu606

did you get a chance to try the above?

whu606

@peregrine

I can't seem to repeat it, but I might be doing it wrong.

I've PM'd you the link I'm following to try to repeat it; let me know if I've misunderstood.

peregrine

@whu606
I sent you clearer instructions in pm.

whu606

@peregrine

I definitely get it on the first link example.

whu606

Just noticed that in doing that, the Like/Unlike link disappears for my user in the thread.

Don't know if that is relevant.

peregrine

the js presentation of the likes clicker doesn't matter. It just seems to be a way of gaming the system, by directly entering the url.

thx for the feedback @whu606

The discussionid cannot be a discussion that you started, in other words, you could only add multiple like to other users.

it is really that important? i mean, yes, it's possible to get around the ui and submit multiple likes... but who really cares?

besides, that's not what i was fixing. i fixed what needed to be fixed.
