I have had a good search here but fail to find any info if a like button has been developed for the forum. Ideally with a counter to the responses as we see on Facebook. Happy New Year folks

I'm all for it but was treated with not derision but apathy when I asked last year... lol

I'm sure if you asked Carefree nicely he may be able to come up with something if he has time, he is the onley person actively coding mods at the moment I think, I'm afraid I'm just too busy working on a big .Net project at work and am not getting much free time these days.

I am rather busy at the moment, but I did a simple thing to use the like button, which doesn't do much but to put the like button and a send button. It's rather incomplete in the sense that there is no administrative interface to control the forums where the like button is used, but I guess I can also change it to make sure it's not used in private forums.
I have it working in a couple forums, but to release this as a mod it still will take a while.

I believe the share mod I put together can have the Facebook like button added to it. http://www.snitzbitz.com/mods/details.asp?Version=All&mid=302

Either the likes will be artificially inflated by repeat clickers or every topic would have to have fields added for every user to check whether they had already clicked it...massively increasing the size of the database.

That is not correct. The like requires a facebook login and facebook takes care of that - click once, "likes it", click twice, "unlikes it". Nothing is required in terms of the forum database.
The like button requires a bit of javascrit and some meta tags to work properly, nothing else.

I thought they wanted a counter, similar but apart from FB.

Actually, re-reading the thread, that may as well be what the original request was. I didn't interpret it that way, though.

To make sure, will it be to "internally" like the topic/post?
or a Facebook Like Button question
If internally (to use on the Forum alone), if we do have Like counter, we would probably need to "order" topics/forums by "likeness" as well, witch start to involve a like more than a simple code idea ...
