We installed the Like It module but it is not showing anywhere on the site. We have checked the Quota Config and the Like It is allowed across all the various Profile Quota.

Are there any further steps in the installation that is required for the Like It button to show?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Module versions in use:
- Core: 5.1.27
- Skin: Flashback 1.1.7
- Like It : 1.0.1

Thanks in anticipation.

At the moment, you need to add the like smarty calls to the templates, as discussed in the links above.
However, I've just updated the jrLike module so that it now adds itself to the 'item details'. This means that like buttons will show automatically on all item detail pages.
We'll get that released within the next couple of days.

Thanks @michael and @paul for the leads.

We'd seen the first link quoted but thought it was referring to a different kind of issue.

We are following through the directions of the second link but finding the process quite intimidating for someone like us with only the least basics of php knowledge (eg. with the so many IFs and DIVs in the profile_index.tpl file we are just guessing where to add the smarty call so it is shown after a Timeline posting - we just gave up doing it after a number of trial and errors and integrity checks), so the proposed update of the jrLike muodule will be very highly welcomed.

By the by, I personally think the jrLike module is a highly desirable module in the scheme of things for a music community website like ours so a big thanks for making it available.

Your doing it exactly right.

* put something in to a .tpl file somewhere "WHERE DOES THIS COME OUT...???"
* clear the caches via the ACP ( your-site.com/core/cache_reset )
* Look at the page where you expect to see it.

Does the location where you expect to see it show the text "WHERE DOES THIS COME OUT...???"

If the answer is YES, the put the like it code there.

If the answer is NO, change the text and repeat the process


* put something in to a .tpl file somewhere "SOME NEW TEXT...???"
* clear the caches via the ACP ( your-site.com/core/cache_reset )
* Look at the page where you expect to see it.

Just play around with it til you get it.
