Hello everyone, how can I make a likes counter to see how many people liked your post

Yes! The data editor in Glide, while more limited than a spreadsheet regarding the AMOUNT of formulas available, is MUCH MORE convenient (and instantaneous) than spreadsheets.

How did you manage to use the like/dislike button for each user? I only manage to make each user write a text or a rate, but like/dislike button. Then, can you see (in a sheet, or in data) the different comments (text, rate, like…)?

[Capture] so for all my FRUIT ITEMS i created a boolean function so signed in users can save favorites etc … and then i created a checkbox function so they can click like or dislike hope this helps

How did you manage to do this counting? it’s not possible to add the likes, isn’t it?

Thanks But do you manage to count the number of likes and dislikes?

I didnt need to know this information , so I dont know if you can

As far as I know, you can’t do a rollup count of likes yet. It stores a number, but at best you can only store it for each individual user. You just can’t total the number of likes.

Hello, any update on this topic ? Or may someone can tell me how to do the average with the rating, for a specfic item not for the current user ?

@Robert_Petitto has a pretty good video on Youtube on this particular use case (https://youtu.be/O7TEF5z5t7U)

I’ve also implemented a workaround to enable rolling up “Likes” that might work for other people as it did for. By using a button, you can add an Action called “increment”. I added a column to my spreadsheet called “LikesPositive” and any time someone clicked the Button I added, Glide would +1 to the “LikesPositive” column on that item (regardless of the user). Obviously the above is open to spam and people constantly smashing the like button, so what I did was create a User Specific Column called “VotedPositive” which was also incremented whenever the user clicked the button. With all the “…Positive” variables, I also added the “…Negative” equivalents and the “Total…” equivalents too, to use in conditions. i.e. TotalVoted = VotedPositive - VotedNegative I then added a display condition which meant the “Like” button would only show up if “TotalVoted” was less than 1 (meaning you either haven’t voted or you voted and unvoted). The “Unlike” button would then show up in the opposite (i.e. the “TotalVoted” is more than 0). I repeated the same for the Total Number of Likes, which were not user specific columns. I hope this helps, and I’d be happy to do a video to explain more clearly if people require.
