Reactions adds a modern emoji reaction system under each phpBB post. When you want to react without writing a full reply, you need something simple, fast and clean. This extension provides exactly that, with realtime UX, controlled notifications, anti-spam digest emails and secure unsubscribe.
UX and live sync
- Emoji reactions under posts, with counters and user tooltips
- AJAX add/remove endpoints — instant interaction
- Configurable background sync interval
- Configurable picker: size, categories, search, full emoji-set loading
Notifications + email digest
- In-forum notifications for new reactions
- Cron task aggregating digest emails by recipient and by post
- Configurable anti-spam delay between digests
- Runtime safeguards: processing window + per-run cap
- UCP > Notifications preferences and legacy extension flags stay in sync
Clean unsubscribe
Signed unsubscribe link in every digest email. Endpoint GET /app.php/reactions/unsubscribe validates the token and updates the user preference. Explicit HTTP responses (200, 403, 404) with adapted user message. Optional integration with Admin Helper logs (unsubscribe_type = reactions_notify).
ACP controls
- Max number of reaction types per post
- Max reactions per member and per post
- Digest delay, picker behavior, display settings
- UCP opt-in/opt-out preferences for digest emails
