    I'm going to forego negative reactions or reactions with negative connotations.

    I understand, but can't you leave the possibility for the maintainer to choose between the reactions that give points (positive) and the reactions that remove points (negative)? I think some negative behaviors (eg, users who ignore netiquette) could be "punished" by forum users (not just by the moderators). Just a suggestion.

    Tested a bit with font-awesome, although the "lol" reaction is a little borked. The concept works:

    https://github.com/Tama63/ReactionCSS

    Anyone is free to use this, if they ever do a reactions plugin

    thx. nice.

    @Todd mentioned in another discussion:
    I do urge you to make your own flavour of reactions .... If you recall the recent uproar over mega6382 and his themes it seems to me like you guys really don't like complete knock-offs right?

    I agree with Todd. I'm going to pm Todd. and see what is ethical and what is not.

    @Todd

    if we used Tama's workup and font-awesome icons and placed them in the same area as Social reactions, without using any of your sprites but using Hijack class and obviously different coding for sql. Would that be stepping over the line in terms of knockoffs? or is the functionality idea (clicking on 3 similar reactions, giving points, and showing who clicked) the ethical violation.

    Fixed them so they are the same size xd ( and fixed again )

    Edit: also this might be a big ask, but could locale definitions be used in the plugin - so users can edit the reactions to whatever they want, without having to fiddle with code all too much.

    Pushed to the repo ( should be on the demo any time soon ).
    ( looks like it's updated )

    <div class="ReactionClass">
        <span class="React lol">Funny</span><span class="React wow">Wow</span><span class=
        "React scholarly">Scholary</span><span class="React artistic">Artistic</span>
      </div>
    

    is the simple demo code

    Yeah I changed wow to a star, as it was easier to make it more consistent. I'll take a look at firefox ( cross browser hacks suck :( ).

    Edit: Seems to be working in firefox fine, I pushed a commit to fix the padding for the funny reaction ( did that for IE as well ).

    @peregrine : bearing in mind that the demo relys on a html skeleton ( not the actual hooked plugin ), are you able to pm a copy of the plugin with just the reactions rendered ?

    Edit : CSS now works back to ie8, and 2 versions back of firefox ( also works on chrome)

    thx. no answer for your other question. But I'm hoping people specify $amounts.

    @tama

    I think I will just go with png file for the icons for the time being.

    Where did the third icon come from? Looks familiar.

  • Actually - what I will eventually will put up is 4 line drawing pngs that look ok in a small thumbnail type of image (when they magically appear).

    one lighting bolt for wow.
    one sherlock holmes silhouette for scholarly
    a camera for artistic
    and a smiling face for funny.

    Remember font awesome can be used as a font on the pc, you just need to do some trickery to get the ascii up ( use word or something to insert it as a symbol, and then copy it to an image editor ).

    for example :

    This would be a great asset to the community.

    I pledge $50 in hopes others will join me!

    I have to express my distaste for using fonts as icons in this use case.

    • It requires messing with the semantic content (Using characters to represent images)
    • It increases complexity for maintaining cross-browser compatibility (since fonts are rendered differently)
    • It requires another layer of knowledge and tool-chain to change the icons to fit your theme
    • A small sprite sheet would not have to worry about the flash of unstyled content (FOUC) due to delays in loading and rendering the font

    Search first

    Check out the Documentation! We are always looking for new content and pull requests.

    I agree with your sentiments on the font and it is slower loading than a small image as far as I can see (at least the font-awesome is).

  • Wouldn't it just be easier to let the user decide what reactions they want, so it can fit in better with that forum? Custom icon upload? Anyways, I would love an "awesome" reaction.

  • edited June 2013

    I have an idea , to add specific role reactions. Sort of like reactions only available to certain people like mods or vets.

    So only those people could give and see that reaction. Kind of like the way the promote button works here.

    If I had a personal reaction it would be a "Slap" hehehe ;)

    some people need one ....
