Retort allows you and your users to add slack-style reactions to your discourse posts.
Check out a quick gif of it in action here!
- Edit your web template and add the project clone url. (https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157)
- Rebuild your web container so that the plugin installs.
You're done!
Some communities will want to limit the possible reactions to just a few, rather than all possible emojis. Retort now supports this!
In order to use a limited emoji set, simply visit admin/site_settings/category/plugins, and check the box which says 'Constrain the list of reactions to the list specified below'.
Then, enter the list of emojis you'd like to support, delimited by the '|' character.
(So, for example, if you only wanted to support thumbs up / thumbs down reactions, you'd put in +1|-1)
Since I have no idea how many custom emojis you're interested in, it's possible for the new emoji modal to look a little, well, like this:
But never fear! Simply enter the number of emojis you'd like appear per row into the 'retort emojis per row' site setting to adjust the layout appropriately.
Voila:
Also, feel free to style elements underneath the .retort-selector class in Admin > Customize > HTML/CSS, if you need further customizations like emoji size, spacing, etc.
There's an additional site setting, 'retort allow multiple reactions', which determines whether users can react to a single post multiple times or not. (It is enabled by default). If you only want users to be able to create one reaction per post (if you're using Retort as a voting system, for example), set this option to false.
