“Like” component not working…
How do you do it, when other users like posts from other users, and when users click the “like” component the number of likes will increase…
notes :
I’ve added “column is user specific”
I hardly ever use the like component. What you can do is create a custom action in a button to take care of this.
Have a user-specific like count column and a global count column.
When user presses a like button:
- Increment user-specific like count by 1
- Increment global count by 1
Display the global count, hide the button if user-specific like count equals 1 (to prevent spamming likes).

thanks for your response…
Can you provide an example in the form of a screenshot?
🙇♂️
Where do you get stuck? I don’t have an example ready, just follow my response above and tell me if you need any further clarification.
I don’t have an idea what you mean, how do I add…?
- Increment user-specific like count by 1
- Increment global count by 1
notes
there are already 5 users who pressed the “like” button
but the data does not increase…
Because you’re increasing it on a user-specific column, it will be specific to the signed-in user only.
When I say user-specific like count, I mean the column you’re already having. This will act as the flag to know whether the user has pushed the like button or not.
When I say global count, I mean a normal column without that user-specific settings so you can display that to all users.
Thank you for guiding me…
