[jessewoo]

Source EPIC JIRA card

Workplan 2 Dev Item #1: https://sdx-sdsc.atlassian.net/browse/USP-217

Brief summary of the new Feature

Users will now be able to “Like” forum posts with a heart button. Users can see how liked their posts and can click into the user and see their profile page.

Brief summary of the Architecture

New table: jos_forum_posts_like

Created a table that will store the different likes with meta data of the user id, forum thread id, post id and date

New APIs

Created new API that will allow front end to POST to the table, storing all the data

New Javascript, CSS and View updates

Created new Javascript file that will handle events of the users, when they click on the heart, when they click on the stats with slide down and slide up of the different names of people who clicked on their post.

Works on the site forum, and also group forum posts which has nested features.

Brief summary of your testing

Have only tried on woo.aws.hubzero.org, but would like to put a branch of the onto stage.cmkc to do testing with the client. Not a hot fix, it's a new feature that needs to be tested on stage. We will have a test plan in place.
