Allow -1 only if previously liked?

Is there any way to make it so someone can unlike a post they previously liked (if they change their mind) but otherwise can not "downvote" posts? I don't want any post to ever have a negative number, in other words.

    The following is untested, but should work.

    In default.php line 260 is a function called CanRemove($Options) replace that function with the following:

      public function CanRemove($Options)
      {
        $Kudos = $this->KudosModel->GetKudosFromOptions($Options);
        foreach($Kudos as $K)
        {
            if($K->UserID == $Options['UserID'] && $K->Action == 1) return true;
        }
        return false;
      }

  • Hm, that seems to prevent me from liking something to begin with.

    While modifying this to suit your needs, I thought that you might be interested in the Thankful People plugin instead.

    Either way, I attached a version of Kudos that works as you would like it to. Oh, and I tested it this time. :D

  • That's absolutely perfect, thank you so much! I checked out Thankful People, but for some reason nothing's showing up on my forum when I enable it — but your fix for Kudos looks like it will be exactly what I need. Thanks again!

    This plugin works also (on my server and many others) - Thankful People

    how are you installing things. did you set permissions correctly?

    If you have a link to your site - we could probably decipher all these mysterious happenings :).

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • Download the plugin, upload it to the plugins directory, enable it in the Dashboard. Do I need to manually set permissions for plugins? I haven't had to do that for any others.

    The site is still in testing phase, but here it is: http://fandomania.jtddev.com/forum/ I don't really need Thankful People now, though — Kudos is working exactly how I need it.

    Actually for thankful people - there is no permission setting in the roles and permissions. Just the normal permissions of the folder structure when you install it.

    Theoreticallym You should see a thank option on other people's posts but not on your own. But it may be your theme and vanilla version that could affect visibility of some plugins. I usually test on default theme, just to make sure, an always look in roles and permissions to see if there is a setting I missed (but thats just me :).

    But.... many plugins will not appear to work sometimes because the permissions are not set in the dashboard under the role.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • Oh, that's why, then. ::smacks forehead:: I was the only one who had made posts so far =) Yup, it works. I'm gonna stick with Kudos but good to know I have the option! Thanks for the tip to test with the default theme, too.

    @Celeste

    I'll have to check out your site more thoroughly. I'm a fan of many books and movies, etc.

    Our current site with more recent articles, etc. is fandomania.com but hopefully we'll be moved over to the redesign within a couple weeks =)
