Block Self Reactions
I've been working on and created a PHP code snippet to block self likes/reacts by a user on their own posts/comments. This triggers a warning notice using FCom's built in system.
Here's a quick video I did to show it. It will give two different messages depending on what you're attempting to self like. So either "You cannot like your own post" or "You cannot like your own comment".

This should be core function imo.
Drive Zone I would prefer an option in leaderboard settings for either or.
Drive Zone but that is not how the system works 👍
for individual feed's comment, a filter hook has been provided,
apply_filters('fluent_community/disable_self_comment_react', false, $feed)
Tawsif Ahmed Riyad what about whole post? I would like to have self-reactions blocked on everything to prevent points hunt from users. It can also show error message something line "You can not react on your own post." Make it as core function to let community admins choose if they want to apply this function or not.
Tawsif Ahmed Riyad yes, they have the apply filters for both comments and posts coded in, but neither work. Even if you overwrite the core code to true, it still lets you like your own content.
This tells me they are planning for a future feature release for this, but for now it's not working.
Here's the file path: fluent-community/app/Http/Controllers/CommentsController.php
Line 411 for posts
Line 524 for comments
Jeff Brigman Thanks for posting the code. So far works nicely. However, I found that you can not see who liked your posts or comments, when you try to see the likes on your posts. As soon as you hit "click to view" your likes, you get the message "Failed to Load the List" followed by the pop up error message that you can't like your own post.
arjun arjun I was able to replicate and found another issue, and I think I have fixed both. I have updated the original post with the updated version.
Jeff Brigman Great Jeff! You have done it very well this time...reduced the lines of code as well...and it is working perfectly...Much appreciate you sharing such useful code snippets this way for the whole community.
Updated the code to fix the issue arjun arjun found, the one I found and in the process discovered another bug that's on the FC dev side and reported it.
This is golden!
Brilliant 👍😎
Jeff Brigman today I noticed that your snippet also blocks bookmarking your own post which I think is a pity. Sometime I save my post too.
Drive Zone I’ll list it as a known issue and come back to it for review.
Jeff Brigman Thank you for your notice Jeff. You are doing a wonderful job helping people enhance their sites in the community through your snippets.
Drive Zone Fixed. Blocks Self Reactions (Posts & Comments) while allowing self bookmarking.
