Likes Review - Most Liked Posts

[Kier]

This is the script I threw together for my Have You Seen... video 'Playing With Colour'.

It adds a new page that shows the most liked posts on the board. The number of posts shown is controlled by an option in the Messages group that is inserted by the add-on.



To install, unzip the attached file, copy the 'LikeReview' folder into the 'library' of your XenForo Directory, then install the add-on XML file using your XenForo admin control panel.

The new page will then be available at /likes-review/ on your installation.



This add-on is fairly basic, but it should give a good insight into how completely new pages can be created for XenForo.

Note this is for demonstration purposes: it doesn't check post viewing permissions.

Definitely will use this.

Very nice release Kier! I will be sure to install this on my forums as soon as I finish typing this post.

Thanks Kier

Does it add a new menu bar item or is the page only accessible if you know the URL?

As standard it doesnt add a menu item - but you should be able to just add that on to the code (someone posted showing you how to add a tab in the articles/tutorials section IIRC)

Just as a caveat, this is mostly just a demonstration. It doesn't check post viewing permissions.

Cheers, Kier! This'll be among the first mods. Thanks again.

 

[Netrosis]

Thanks, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong.

This mod works nicely too.

The fact that it doesn't check for post viewing permissions is probably something that is worth mentioning in the OP.

Looks great!

It does say that, right at the end - above the download link.

Did you or Kier add that? *hoping for an answer that doesn't make me look stupid*

 

[Mike]

I added it before I posted my first comment.

 

[Booth]

Installed - with a little bit more work this could be a really cool add-on.

 

[Sador]

Hm, sounds actually more useful to put under the forum statistics sidebar to be honest.

 

[Dismal Shadow]

I take it this will be added in Beta 2?

 

[Floris]

Hopefully not! If it lists liked content from the staff forums or premium forums; it then discloses those titles

Couldn't you use conditionals to filter the content based on user permissions?

great mod
any chance this would go in the sidebar
+
Instead of having it for all time. It would be great if we can set the top liked in x day
what you think?
