Add some warning for not-registered users when they try to like/dislike

    Hi! I’m planning to use Just Like Dislike plugin in a blog where regular readers are registered. So, I was amused to find an option to limit liking/disliking to registered readers!

    The only issue is that for non-registered readers, there are no indicators explaining why they can’t like/dislike posts and comments. (As far as I know, at least.)

    An explaining tip when they try (and can’t) like/dislike would be very useful to not confuse them and drive more registrations.

    Is this feasible?

    Makes sense to have an alt-text or js popup for this, will look at adding it.

    I’ve added a “login required” to the hover text when the user is not logged in and the registration requirement is set.

    Alternatively, since this text is definable in the settings, you could add this yourself until the new release is out.

    Good idea, @gregross! I wonder (haven’t tested yet) if this solution works on mobile, where the concept of hovering is weird/non-existent. That’s why I wonder if a popup triggered by a user click may be a better solution.

    As well as any other mouse over works on mobile… aka not very well ??

    Unfortunately the only other solution would be to do a popup/alert of some kind which seems very intrusive overall so I decided against it.

    Fair enough!
