Facebook Style Like/Dislike System by Wonder

[jrooster76]

I just tried out the beta version and I noticed that our old "Likes" are no longer visible. We used the following code to add the like/dislike buttons on our site:


<style type="text/css"><!--
/*

.likebg {background-color: #DADADA;}
.likebg2 {background-color: #DADADA;}
--></style>
<script>

//Enter the URL of the image to the thumbs up icon

//Enter the URL of the image to the thumbs down icon
dislikeimageurl="http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/3115/dislike.gif";

//If you want to disable people's ability to like posts, set this to true
disableLike=false;

//If you want to disable people's ability to dislike posts, set this to true
disableDislike=true;

</script>
<script src="http://pblike.appspot.com/static/pblike.js"></script>

I tried placing the same code in the new site and it no longer works. I understand that there is a new built-in like system, however it would be nice to at least be able to keep the old likes for archival purposes. Is it possible to add the old system in V5?

Thanks,
JR

You should contact the author of this code, and ask them to convert it to v5. 

[Mr. Tyler Getz]

The reason the likes weren't transfered over is because of it being an add-on code and not being actually built into the website. When upgrading to v5 we all were warned of the fact some codes might not work after converting. With the 'Like's being built into the site, the 'Like/Dislike' code was one of those codes that became un-usable.

Give it time, and a developer will come out with a desired code for many.

There is a dislike code already in development to complement the like system.

[Mr. Tyler Getz]

Well there you go.

Thanks guys. I understand that are breaking changes from v4 to v5. I'm happy with the built-in like system. I just wanted to preserve the old system so that members could still see what was liked under to old system. I would have disabled the like/dislike buttons and just kept the stats. Perhaps the author of the code will take some time to update his/her code.
