Sorting Content by Like Counts
To present your content based on like counts, you’ll need to create a Content Filter for your Display.
To create a Content Filter, go to the Filters in the top menu bar of your Dashboard and select Sort by. In the dropdown menu that appears, choose Reactions from the available options.
Next, click Save Filter below the menu bar. In the pop-up window that appears, assign a descriptive name to your Content Filter for easy identification. Finally, click Create to save your filter.
When publishing your Social Wall, simply select the Content Filter you created. For more details on creating and applying Content Filters to your Social Wall, check out this article.
Good to Know: Voting Contests and Like Counts
If you’re planning to use the like feature for a voting contest, keep in mind that contentfry does not track the identities of users who vote. As a result, we cannot guarantee the prevention of potential misuse or cheating. This feature is intended for lighthearted and casual applications, not for formal or high-stakes competitions.
Activating User Reactions for Your Room
To use User Reactions in a Room created before December 2024, you’ll need to activate this feature manually first.
On your Dashboard, click the more icon (...) next to the Room you want to activate User Reactions for, then select Settings from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down to the User Activities section and toggle the switch to enable User Reactions. Then, click Save to apply your changes. That’s it! User Reactions are now enabled for your Room.
