Sidebar-Blocks on forum home for like feature

[fide]

Are Sidebar-Blocks available jet (Recent and Top Likes)? Where do I find them?

[Brian Cummiskey]

They are not a part of RC1.

[Taurus]

May I ask why?

Thanks.

Hello,

you can create those blocks in admincp with "Content type" set to "PHP", "Template to Use" set to "block_html" and the code for "Top Liked Threads":

if(VBSEO_ENABLED)
{
vbseo_extra_inc('ui');
return vBSEO_UI::likes_block('topthread');
} 

and for "Recent Likes":

if(VBSEO_ENABLED)
{
vbseo_extra_inc('ui');
return vBSEO_UI::likes_block('latest');
}

Thank you very much Oleg! Works great!

How would we get this to work for 3.8.x?

[Brian Cummiskey]

Sidebars don't exist in vb3....

[robdog]

What I should of said is in vBulletin 3.8, is there a page we can go to see the latest likes or is that just not available ATM? Or is there a function I can call in vBulletin 3.8 and create a vBAdvanced module to display the recent likes?

[Brian Cummiskey]

This is not available. It would be farily simply to make some add on for it. It's a very simple query and the likes system database tables are very basic in nature.

Thanks for the code
do you know why the recent liked box has a space it in, vs the top liked box?
I have both enabled right now on General Forums
is this a template somewhere? I'd like to tighten the recent liked box up some

thx again

[Oleg Ignatiuk]

They are somewhat different in nature (hence different layout) - "recent likes" has details on who and when liked the post, while "top liked" only has the total number of likes.

Hi Oleg Ignatiuk,

Could you help me limit the number of days of this select query?
I want our members see only Top Liked Threads only in a week (only new threads are useful to our members, very old threads are useless).

Thank you.

[Oleg Ignatiuk]

You can modify functions_vbseo_ui.php file for that:
find:
WHERE forumid in (".implode(',', $flist).")
replace with:
WHERE forumid in (".implode(',', $flist).") AND dateline>".(time()-7*24*3600)."

Ok. This is a pretty unreasonable feature request. But I would really love to have an RSS feed of the latest liked Posts (not threads)...
