  We have just opened our first Forum which is a book study. I thought that members would be able to "like" each others posts, etc. We have the SEAO Likes Plugin and Widgets and I thought I had it turned on. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?TIA

  Here is what a forum topic looks like...no "like" button to be found.

  Did you ask SEAO? They can help since it is their plugin. I'm sure they will answer.

  Hi Nancers,

  Please make sure that you have added all the Database Table Items  for Forum Module in the Manage Modules Section of Likes Plugin & Widgets. I have attached a screenshot for your reference. 

  

   

  In case of any queries, please feel free to reach out to us at support@socialengineaddons.com.

  Best Regards,

  I'm surprised that's a requirement for that module.

  Those are my current settings. I'm logged in as Super Admin, and it looks like items are greyed out...I am not able to change forum_topic to forum_post as you demonstrated in your screenshot.

   

  Any suggestions appreciated
  Nancy

  Hi Nancy,

  You need to add a new entry for forum module instead of making changes in the old one. Please follow below steps :
  
  a) Go to the Admin Panel of Likes Plugin & Widgets : Manage Modules Section.

  b) Click on Add New Module for Likes.

  c) Select Content Module : "forum" and Database Table Item : "forum_post".

  d) Add Singular and Plural Title and Save Changes.

  Best Regards,

  Team SocialEngineAddOns

  I do not have the option to select the content module:  "forum"

  

  Also, it looks like Forum was created during installation, but it's not working as per my screen shot above and this one.

  I have Emailed you, but it would be nice if the solution was posted here in case someone else runs across the same problem, right?

  Based on the screenshots you have added, we found that you are using SocialEngine's Forum Plugin on your end which lets you only like forum topics and there is no button to like forum posts.

  Here, the forums posts are being shown as listings under a topic and a user can only like the overall topic but not the posts added in that topic.
  
  
  Please refer to the screenshot attached.
