Likes
The like system was added in Elgg 1.8 and is similar to Facebook's like button. This capability is provided by the likes plugin distributed with Elgg.
Like this
The button for liking something is a thumbs-up icon. It changes color based on whether the content has been liked by the viewer.
View: likes/button
List users
If at least one person has liked a piece of content, then a count of the likes is displayed next to the thumbs-up icon. Clicking on the count triggers a pop-up with a list of users that liked the content.
