Thanks for your input, Laura and mitchcan. My experience has been similar. I’ve tried everything mentioned so far with similar results, with the exception of WTI Like pro version (I wasn’t sure about shelling out for it–I have tried the free version, and it’s actually ok except for all the links to their stuff, which I guess maybe you can remove if you pay them).
I am using the Voter plugin currently. It is the best I found, but the main problem is that the “view voters” only works for the top item in the activity stream or a forum! Any statuses or responses below it that have likes cannot be viewed, because it just keeps opening/closing the list for the top item. My fellow admin who has more technical expertise thinks he may have come up with a “bandaid fix” but we are waiting to see how much difference it makes.
And yes, the phantom looking likes in group activity showing up in the activity stream are kind of irritating and clog things up.
I voted for that feature request a few days ago. It’s hard to believe this basic functionality that users are accustomed to on pretty much every social media type site is so difficult to get on our sites.
Ok, I don’t think I can edit my post, and it didn’t accept my image url, so I am going to try this:
I have tried that, but it does something weird to the line that connects activities in the activity stream. It looks a bit odd. See what I mean in this screen snip? The thin line goes too high up.
Also, are there any plugins that would permit users to like replies to status updates? Or are we just out of luck on that one?
Is there a way to add activity comments to the things buddypress will notify about? This seems like a serious lack in any social media site, that members don’t get notifications for responses to status updates. I have tried the activity comment notifier plugin, but as far as I can tell, it only shows notices in the admin toolbar, which makes it an unacceptable solution to me as I do not want my users accessing the backend at all.
Has anyone had any success in getting notifications for comments/replies and can suggest a solution that doesn’t involve notices on the admin bar?
