[MP] Likes Given ❤️ | 🏆 Top Likers Widget | Increase Engagement! ✨ 1.0.2

Overview​

On our forums, we always reward those who create the most content or receive the most reactions. But what about the "unsung heroes" who keep your community alive, browse every thread, and generously offer their support to other members? That is, the members who give the most reactions?

The [MP] Likes Given add-on fills this exact gap for your XenForo site. This powerful add-on tracks and lists the reactions your members have given, allowing you to highlight the most positive and active members of your community.

This add-on adds three core functionalities to your site:

A modern and customizable widget you can add anywhere on your site. This widget displays your community's most generous members in a leaderboard. The widget options provide full control:

• User Limit: Determine how many users to show (e.g., Top 5, Top 10).
• Time Filter: Show the best of "All Time," or the most active of the "Last 30 Days" or "Last 7 Days."
• Reaction Filter: You can count only a specific reaction (e.g., only "Like" ID 1) or all reactions.

The add-on extends the XF:User Entity, adding a getLikesGivenCount() function to each user's profile data. This allows you (with a simple template edit) to proudly display the "Likes Given" count next to the "Likes Received" on every member's profile or message sidebar.

All data is managed via a dedicated Repository class (MusaPekel\LikeGiven:ReactionGiven) that runs optimized SQL queries. This ensures you can fetch data without performance issues, even on large forums.

• Gamification: Start a friendly competition among members to get on the "Top Likers" list.
• Increased Engagement: Encourage members to actively react to content instead of just consuming it.
• Community Recognition: Honor not just popular content creators, but also those who are good community members and appreciate the content of others.

Follow the standard XenForo add-on installation steps to install the add-on.

1. After installation, you can add the "Top Likers" widget to any page you want from /admin.php?widgets/.
2. (Optional) For profile integration, you can make minor edits to the member_macros or message_macros templates.

Uncover your community's hidden supporters and reward them with the [MP] Likes Given add-on!
