How to reduce likes to one per IP

[superflymarketing]

Hi guys,

How can we stop people from pressing the like button on a post many times? I’d like it to work so it’s one like per IP address.

How can this be done?

Cheers,

Nick

That would take a complete rewrite. The code as it works now sets a cookie. To limit to ip address, you’d have to write it to the database.

no problem,

do I have to tick anything in the theme settings for the cookie to work?

? No. Just turn on likes. If its not working, then maybe you have a conflict somewhere.

The bug is on your theme demo. if you click multiple times to like a post the number increases. If you click, wait, and click again it doesn’t allow you.

Anyway of fixing this?

Its not really a bug. I doubt that 7th Queen anticipated people going crazy and clicking it multiple times quickly before the code had a chance to finish execution. I’ll assign this to abe to see if they can change the order of the code so that it disables further clicks soon in the code. Thanks.

Yeah that’d be awesome!

If you could let us know what you amend we can implement it.

I doubt this will be the final code, but you can try this.

Go into theme options > misc and turn on dev mode. Then open up /kleo/assets/js/app.js. Around line 1081 you’ll see the likes function. After if(link.hasClass(‘liked’)) return false; add

COPY CODE

link.addClass('liked');
