Additional like-styled buttons plugin? | Forum

Anybody every come across (or make) a plugin that adds additional custom buttons beneath each post and reply?  I'm a teacher who is making a social network for his students and need a custom button module to add rubric grading items beneath posts so that I can give my users/students feedback.


I think this idea would have ramifications beyond the classroom too.  How many times have you seen people asking for a dislike button or or good idea button or bad grammar button on facebook?  More nuanced feedback is a thing people want.  Also to be able to record this feedback as a tally on their user profiles would be ideal!

Likes for comments seems very much needed (and overdue on oxwall) I like the idea of having  an admin controllable set of nuanced feedback buttons too. Great suggestion!

Brad, the best way to achieve it is a new plugin development . I suggest that you download our new Plugin Skeleton plugin to see how to use this or that function. Here is URL to the Store item: http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/695

If you are not familiar with the code modifications, it would be better for you to find a developer who can help you with it.

Hello,

  I am new here but, bear with me a moment. We would like a dislike button for the fact that say a family member dies we don't like it. For our group a "dislike" button would be an appropriate addition. I think I could code it in but my sql days are way back and not sure how I would implement that on sql side without shredding a working site. For that matter would love to try the skeleton and start a test site but not sure of server limits as it is not mine.
