Usage

You can either use our news templates or integrate the like button into your own templates.

Use our news templates

In the Newslist and/or Newsreader module, you can choose our templates news_latest_with_likes or news_full_with_likes as news template.

Integrate the like button into your own templates

To integrate the like button into your own templates, simply include our _plenta_likes.html.twig Twig template where ever you want to display the button.

In PHP templates:

<?php $this->insert('_plenta_likes', ['news' => $this->arrData]) ?>

In Twig templates:

{% include('@Contao/_plenta_likes.html.twig' with {news: _context}) %}

The news variable expects the news item as an array.
