Create a "like" button, which only counts up once
Posted: Fri May 15, 2020 9:21 am
Hi all,
I want to create a button which displays at the side of a chat post which acts as a "like" button i.e. it can only be pushed once and adds 1 to the number shown.
My code so far... Screens:
How the chat works in script:
Not only am I unsure how to create the button and change the text on it, but each post will have a different amount of likes as well (which I'd like to set with $ fflog.add_chat). So, without making a different like button for every post, I'm unsure how to go about this, too.
Here's the rest of the chat code for reference:
Does anyone have any ideas?
