The "Likes Tree" - Development Update

Hello all,

I can confidently say that the current implementation is very close to final at this stage. Some updates may follow, but those would mostly be style changes applied via CSS.



There are MANY considerations involved in the development of this feature, and a lot of thought went into them. I'm especially proud of the design considerations pertaining to the performance implications.

As you may have noticed, the final version requires a click to load the data, and subsequent "views" also require a click. AJAX is used to load the data on-demand, and the "calculations" required by the different filters are *only* executed *if* the user requests such views. There is a wait-time after each click, but it's rather minimal, and I feel is a really small price to pay considering we've virtually eliminated any performance impact of the feature on showthread.

Please help us test it out in different browsers/configurations. Keep a close eye on the consistency of the different UI details, like rounded corners, shadows, highlighting, etc. Also watch for loading times and report any anomalies to the devs.

Also, if you have suggestions for usability improvements, those are always welcomed.

just want to get a version that i can install on my forum! everything looks great.

Will this be a free plugin!? I like it! It is a kind of facebook thing

Thank you for your great feedback! . We will take a look into this.

Can there also be a dislike feature? Like if someone dislike a certain post xD

Hello Katie,

Thank you for your invaluable feedback, but keep in mind that we are looking into ways to level up the community sense . Of course there are lots of posts in each forum that we don't like, but an "I don't like it" button just would create troubles, unless you have a forum in wich your users enjoy fighting.

If that's your case, I may recommend you using [AJAX] Post Groan Hack - vBulletin.org Forum

@ Above, i agree with you!

It can be pack out really nagative to your forum/members...

looking forward to playing with it on our forum

What exactly can we do with "likes tree" on admincp? Is it possible to add a promotion based on users likes count?
I would like to prune/move/show notice/ads/ users reached total xx likes.

I want vBSEO 3.6 NOW!

heehee not exactly but it is fun to dislike certain post, it is actually opposite to fighting. Because if someone doesn't like someone's post they would click unlick instead of arguing over a post back and forth. I think it is a good feature to consider! :0)

This add-on is very wonderful, so i didn't have any feed back to say

too bad [AJAX] Post Groan Hack - vBulletin.org Forum does not work on vb4.
