Introduction¶
What does it do?¶
- Adds the YIID it! Like/Dislike button widget to your website.

- Different types can be chosen (like/dislike, pro/contra, attend/not, nice/not, been there/not, want it/not, recommmend/not,...)
- The dislike option can be enabled and disabled.
Screenshots¶
The button in German language mode.
Users manual¶
You can insert the button manually as a content element wherever you want to have it on your website. Just open the new content element wizard and choose it from the “Plugin” section:
After this you will be guided to the plugin configuration where you can edit these options:
- Type: choose the type of button to be displayed.
- Add the dislike option: On default only the like variant of the button is shown. By activating the dislike option the visitor will also see the dislike variants of the button.
- Title: The title which is displayed in the social networks. By default (if empty) the title of the current page is taken.
- Description: The description which is displayed in the social network entries. By default the page description is taken which you can edit in you page settings (section: meta).

- Color of the text: can be a hex color code (ie. #000000 for black) and sets the color of the text on the right of the button.
- Template file: If you want to use an individual template file for the extension here.
