Give a Point for a post – Hook needed

    Hey J.D.,

    is it possible to create a Point Hook for posts so that Users are able to give an author one point for a post similar to the facebook like button?

    The Idea is that a user can like (or again unlike) a post and the author is gaining one Point for a like. Under the post all “likes” are shown as “5 people gave a Point”.

    Maybe you can give me some advice to realize that on my own? In the CubePoints plugin it was possible to write modules (similar possible in WordPoints?)

    Thank you for that great plugin!!

    Hi Mathias,

    Yes, you can write modules for WordPoints.

    There are two different ways you could write it:

    1. You could write all of the code for the like button feature yourself.
    2. You could find a plugin that offers the post likes feature, and use actions and filters to hook into it and award the points.

    Other people have requested a similar feature for plugins that provide post ratings. But I haven’t had time to code it yet.

    Thank you. I think I will use WTI Like posts to realize that. Thanks for the quick answer and I hope u will implement the function in a future update.. but as I recognized u have a lot of work to do 🙂
