Favorites are bookmarks, not likes.
There are plugins for likes, such as
Facebook Like User Activity Stream for BuddyPress
I haven’t tried it but there’s also BuddyPress Compliments.
Thank you guys, I will look at those two options.
Just an update on this thread.
At the moment, there aren’t any plugins for this. The BuddyPress Like plugin is broken (it breaks WordPress themes on install and isn’t being supported). I tried others as well. The BuddyPress Compliments seems like a great plugin, but only allows users to compliment other members (not compliment posts). It’s interface and options, useability is great though.
It does what many people are requesting (on WordPress as well as this forum): lets people add “likes” to posts AND lets people customize the button that does the “liking” (I mean you can name the object and set an image for it).
Is there any plans within BuddyPress to add a “like” function (which tallys the likes on posts)? (If so, Compliments is a great model.)
