    Is their an extension out there already that allows users to ‘favorite’ or ‘like’ images/posts? I’m hoping to wing something together with FF Matrix galleries so that each photo in the gallery has a count of how many people click a favorite button.

    EDIT: Maybe I can use Diggie, Rating or Favourites from Solspace and tie it into FF matrix ...

    Hey BC Team!

    Have you checked out LikEE? http://booyant.com/likee

    We just released it to BETA last week, and are going to be releasing an EE2.0 version to Beta by the end of the week. I think it might do just what you are looking for!

    {blog_images}
                    
        {image_url}
                
         {exp:likee entry_id="{entry_id}{row_count}"}
         I {like} it.
         {like_count} likes
         {/exp:likee}
                
    {/blog_images}

    So the above kind of works. So if the entry ID is 43 and you click like on image 2 in that entry. You are adding a like to the entry ID 432. This works if that’s all I wanted to do. Sure its not actually putting entry ID’s in the likee table in the database but it works.

    However this means I kind find the “Most Liked” images.

    Hey BC Team!

    When we developed LikEE, we were actually thinking primarily of it’s use for entries and comments. Never actually gave any thought to images specifically. We have added this as something we will add for the next release of LikEE. We are currently working on a few other modules, so it might a little ways out before we knock this item off. I will definitely make a note here as soon as we do though.

    Cheers!
