Likes Setup Help

I've activated the Likes in vbseocp but its not working like it is here including showing "Liked" ""times under user profile on the sidebar. My Likes are only working like the stock vb.

The readme.html doc isn't any help.

Looking in the (Docs do not upload) files I see php files:
vbseo_likes_calc.php
vbseo_import_likes.php

Do I "upload" these or do something with them?

Those are for importers from other 'thanks' products. do not use them unless you plan to convert from something.


Please be more specific about what is or isn't working on your site. "stock vb" doesn't have a like system so i have no idea what you're referring to.

Sure vb has a like system

Look at this thread. I see a Like icon:
Forum vBulletin 4.1.0

I've installed vbseo 3.6 and I am not able to make the Like the way you have here. How do I do this? How do I get Liked to show up on the user profile sidebar?

My question makes perfect sense yes?

How do I activate what you have here:
vBSEO 3.6.0 Release Candidate 1 available for Licensed Customers!
It shows a heart and 16 likes to a dropdown

Facebook is a completely different system. We have that as well (see just above the quick reply box)

Did you enable the setting in the 3.6 vbseocp admin panel?

I did not get the "heart drop-down" option until someone "likes" a post on the thread. Then after a refresh the heart drop-down will be there

It doesn't display a list until a list actually exists. It will only show on threads that have at least 1 like on them.

I've uploaded everything twice and it doesn't seem to be working. I've refreshed my site as well. Yes, it is all enabled in the vbseo cp

Is there anything else I am supposed to do beside upload 3.6, import the new xml, enable likes in vbseo cp?

Someone has to actually like a post for it to appear.

Do you have a custom skin? if so, please try it against the default vb skin (or make a new one without parent to test)

is there something I am to do with my theme or template or does it work as soon as you activate likes in the vbseocp/General Settings/Likes System?

You posted just as I was asking.

No, I am using stock vb theme. Everything on my site is stock except for vbseo

To Add, I see redtailboas has 0 liked on the sidebar here.
On my site the "liked" this is not showing at all on my sidebar. Obviously something is not correct.

The postbit bit is not part of the product. It's a custom template edit you can add if desired in the postbit template.

vb4:

Code:

<dt>Liked</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.vbseo_likes_in} times</dd>

vb3:

Code:

<div>Likes: $post['vbseo_likes_in']</div>

I see the share menu is there, but as a guest, i don't see the likes menu (by design). Do you see the like link next to share on hover?

You do have a TON of css errors on your site, and that's where i would start to check. Your theme is obviously not stock VB. it's been customized and i can see a bunch of css-related errors relating to positioning and missing ; that could cause the hook not to grab.
I see the JS in your source code, so it's trying to hook, but it looks like something isn't correct.


I'm not going through the whole list... validator says 396 css errors. some are expected (-moz prefixed ones).

.forum_info {
margin-bottom: 5px;
float: left;
width: 100%;
clear:both;
position: relative;
top: -10px;
color: #3e3e3e;
font: 12px ;
}

here, font can't be used in short cut without the full parameter of family weight and size. this should be changed to font-size to make it long hand.

.postbit .userinfo .popupmenu .popupctrl {
color:auto;
}


auto is not a color.


.postbitdeleted .nodecontrols a.textcontrol:hover, .postbitignored .nodecontrols a.textcontrol:hover {
background: ;
_background-image: none;
border: 0px solid #a8a8a8;
}

empty rules are invalid. remove it or actually make a rule out of it.


.postbitdeleted .userinfo .usertitle, .postbitignored .userinfo .usertitle {
clear:both;
display:block
width: 100%;
}


missing closing semi colon.


And on and on.

Go through it. Get the web developer tool bar from chris pederick for firefox and firebug to start troubleshooting your template.



In the meantime, Please make a new skin with no parent so that you can test against the DEFAULT non-modified theme.

wow, I haven't changed anything on my template since I installed it. I did do a no parent theme as suggested and that made no change. I will try again.
