Update 1.1.0

@clivesmith, I received feedback and feature requests from multiple people. This update was primarily from the feedback received by someone else.

I personally like the arrows interface. It looks clean. Having words there might make it look cluttered. But, that’s just my opinion. Maybe I could make it work.

It didn’t occur to me that people might think the vote is for the person instead of the reply, but I see that now. I wonder if changing the position of it would help.

Hi,

I agree, I think the arrows look clean but as I said I am not sure what the arrows are voting for, I don’t know where else they would fit. To me the ideal would be under the down arrow a word / phrase (” helpful “, “thanks”) and a dividing line or something to separates it from the profile.

Hi,
Just thought I would say, I have made a couple of mods, I have included a title under the arrows and changed the “post” heading to reflect what the arrows are for. This is something like I was suggesting, I would also like the order of the posts to be highest vote first. Hope you don’t mind, please have a look https://wateratairports.com

Would you mind sharing your modded plugin so I may consider bringing those features in?

Sorting with highest vote first is a pretty good idea. I’ve thought about that before, but wasn’t sure if it would be something I would use. I’ll look into making that an option.

Because am update from you would take away any edits I made, I just added some echo lines to bbp-voting.php as you can see below. If you dont want to have a settings page on the dashboard, if it was possible could you add an action hook and assign variables where the echo’s are so we can put what titles we want, if we want them from functions.php in the child theme. Changing the order would be great too
thanks
echo ‘<div class=”bbp-voting”>’;
// Up vote
//adds the word helpful in red above the arrow
echo ‘<p style=”color: red;”>Helpful</p>’;
echo ‘Up‘;
// Display current vote count for post
echo ‘<div class=”score”>’. $score. ‘</div>’;
// Down vote
echo ‘Down‘;
echo ‘</div>’;

//adds the words ‘not helpful’ in red below the arrow
echo ‘<p style=”color: red;”>Not Helpful</p>’;

I’ve integrated this into the latest version that I just released. 1.1.2.

You can change the Helpful and Not Helpful labels with these filters…

add_filter('bbp_voting_helpful', function() {
    return 'Thanks';
});
add_filter('bbp_voting_not_helpful', function() {
    return 'No Thanks';
});

Great, Thank you.

You’re welcome!
