I am using mod like posts ver. 2.0.5 by Joker. How to upgrade to this mod while maintaining the number of likes?

[vbgamer45]

Uninstalling shouldn't remove the links. Unless you check the option to remove associated data

Epic mod vbgamer! Love it! Still using it!

Hmm looks like this mod uses hooks should add it after the logout button

sources/likeposts/LikePosts.php

Code: [Select]

public static function addMenuItems(&$menu_buttons) {
global $scripturl, $txt, $user_info, $modSettings;

if (empty($modSettings['lp_mod_enable']) || empty($modSettings['lp_stats_enable']) ||
!self::$LikePostsUtils->isAllowedTo(array('lp_guests_can_view_likes_stats', 'lp_can_view_likes_stats'))) {
return false;
}

// insert before logout
$initPos = 0;
reset($menu_buttons);
while (($key = key($menu_buttons) && $val = current($menu_buttons)) && $key != 'logout')
$initPos++;

$menu_buttons = array_merge(
array_slice($menu_buttons, 0, $initPos),
array(
'like_post_stats' => array(
'title' => $txt['lp_stats'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=likepostsstats',
'show' => true,
'sub_buttons'=> ''
),
),
array_slice($menu_buttons, $initPos, count($menu_buttons) - $initPos)
);
}


The  'Like stats'  menu button is being inserted as the first menu button because of a minor bug in the placement code - in order to insert the  'Like stats'  button before the  'Logout'  button the value of  $initPos  needs to be reduced by 1 after the position of the 'logout' menu button is found.

In the file ./Sources/LikePosts/LikePosts.php
Find:

      while (($key = key($menu_buttons) && $val = current($menu_buttons)) && $key != 'logout')
      $initPos++;

Add After:

      // reduce $initPos by 1 to insert button before 'logout'
      $initPos = $initPos - 1;

Hi, vbgamer45.

I have upgraded my SMF site and I had "Like Posts" mod installed. I do know that after upgrading, modifications are "removed". But, when I do install this mod again, I have two "Like" buttons sitting one to another. I believe I have doubled codes right now, but can you tell me which file I should edit and what part of code exactly?
Before installing it again, I do already have one "Like" button, but it does not work. When I click on it, nothing happens.

Thank you in advance.

[vbgamer45]

This mod for the menu buttons does not edit files...Uses hooks which means it calls code at runtime without file edits.
Try to uninstall the mod again and see if it disappears.

If not you will have to manually remove the hooks with this mod https://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3285

[Welicak94]

Thank you for you reply, sir.

I had done both advices, but unfortunately, I'm still facing problems.
After failed uninstalling and re-installing, I tried a mod you linked.

I did deleted all the hooks naming "LikePosts", after that - this text appeared after the post:
"Class 'LikePosts' not found" .
Installing after all of the deleted hooks, got back old problem - two buttons sitting to one another.

Maybe I'm missing some hook which need to be deleted?

[vbgamer45]

Unfortunately with hooks not easy to fix will require going into the smf_settings table and removing entries.

[Welicak94]

Sorry for troubling you.
I believe you thought about MySQL table.
These are all rows containing "like" word in the "smf_settings" table.
Should I delete all of them?

[Arantor]

No, if you have duplicate installations, you need to find the settings marked integrate_ and change those.

[Welicak94]

Thanks.

Currently running Like Posts 2.0.5 and SMF 2.0.14

When I click on remove duplicate likes it used to run the task and do that. But recently it started just freezing up and requiring the whole forum to be rebooted from AWS.

Any ideas? Will upgrading to Like Posts 2.2 fix anything?

[vbgamer45]

How many likes on your forum.  Freezing do you mean like long run time on the sql statements? Or page just goes white?

I just found this mod and very interested in it. I just installed on my site which is running SMF version 2.0.17
I installed the mod, and it shows up in the admin panel. I enabled it for a couple of boards as a test but I don't see the "Like" button appearing anywhere. What am I missing? Anyone else have this working on 2.0.17?

yes its working on my site currently.  Try going on your board setting and enable like posts button

I have the same minor issue GL700Wing reported above.  The stats button is to the left of the Home button.

Took a minor tweak to fix.
