Buddypress – show "Like" buttin in liked (reposted) activities

    When you like a buddypress activity, you have a “repost”, something like

    “Rami liked this post”
    ………… excerpt………..

    The thing is that this new post does not tell you the total likes. It seems that you have this information only in the original post.

    Which is not very useful, as you’ll never know the total likes unless you go to the original post. It’d be nice something like:

    “Rami liked this post”
    ………… excerpt………..
    [here the total like button and total count again, like in the original post]

    Would you please give me a hint to which file should I look for customising, I’m not sure what to look for.

    Thanks!
    Ramiro

    Hi Rami, thanks for the feedback. You’re right that this is not ideal and it’s actually something I’ve thought about recently. With regards to the flow of how this should work for the user – I’m not yet decided on what the best user flow is.

    For example: If I like your post, and other 5 people have already liked it just before me. Having a screen full of posts where it’s “full of updates with – Darren liked Rami’s update” isn’t much good. I feel like aggregating these into one update would be a good option. Along with something similar to what you’ve described by having the like button for the original update, with its like count.

    Development of the plugin takes place over in its Github repository, and I’ve different issues open to discuss some concerns and questions I have. I’d appreciate your comments! This is the function that creates the “repost” https://github.com/Darrenmeehan/BuddyPress-Like/blob/development/includes/activity-functions.php#L30

    Thanks again,
    Darren
