Duplicate Minor housecleaning: "Likes" in rebuild caches

[Wildcat Media]

Affected version

2.1.0 beta 4

This one confused me. The drop-down for Content type: was empty, until I realized we aren't using likes anymore. (Sorry, no caffeine yet today.)



Seems the "Rebuild likes counted status" just needs to removed from this page? (Hence, "housecleaning.")

If you had Add-ons installed that provided their own content-types that support likes the dropdown would not be empty

Though, if possible, it might be a good idee to hide that cleanup if there are no like handlers.

I am not sure how that all works, but, with XF themselves having moved to reactions, I would think any add-ons would tap into that, rather than having their own separate system of likes. But I've been done with developing/coding for several years now (and very gladly, I might add), so I'm rusty on all of it...

There is a compatibility layer between the XF like and reaction systems. This means that when you update to XF 2.1 if you had a load of add-ons on XF 2.0 which supported likes, they will continue to transparently work, as likes, until the developer updates that add-on to work with XF 2.1 reactions (which is optional, though recommended, because it's probably safe to assume the system is deprecated at this point).

This is a duplicate though, see here for more details, momentarily:

Fixed - Rebuild likes counted status

Rebuild likes counted status showing under Rebuild caches but Content type dropdown doesn't open (empty), so i suspect it is showing due to some bug. Apart from that Rebuild reactions counted status is replacement for it i think.

I keep forgetting to check Closed Bug Reports. Thanks Chris! And that does make sense.

It's only just been marked as fixed to be fair

It was something we were originally not going to change but it has been brought up a few times now so seems worth it to solve some confusion.

(We just hide that block now if there are no like handlers available).
