Disable ability to like own posts

Eldenroot

Just like title says - is there anything cons for this?

I remember discussing this when Toby announced the Likes extension ... he got the idea from Facebook, where you can apparently like yourself. (I wouldn't know, I've never used Facebook.)

I don't think Toby plans to change it, but I suppose it would be possible to create a customized fork of the Likes extension and add a condition to hide the Like link from the session user.

Dominion Yes, something like an extra permission to enable/disable like own posts

Where is this likes ext?

I think you wouldn't need to do it as a permission unless you really wanted to enable self-liking for some groups and disable it for others. To simply turn it off, a config setting in the extension's settings panel would be enough.
