Retort allows you and your users to add slack-style reactions to your discourse posts.

Check out a quick gif of it in action here!

• Edit your web template and add the project clone url. (https://meta.discourse.org/t/install-a-plugin/19157)
• Rebuild your web container so that the plugin installs.

You're done!

Some communities will want to limit the possible reactions to just a few, rather than all possible emojis. Retort now supports this!

In order to use a limited emoji set, simply visit admin/site_settings/category/plugins, and check the box which says 'Constrain the list of reactions to the list specified below'.

Then, enter the list of emojis you'd like to support, delimited by the '|' character. (So, for example, if you only wanted to support thumbs up / thumbs down reactions, you'd put in +1|-1)

Feel free to style elements underneath the .retort-picker class in Admin > Customize > HTML/CSS, if you need further customizations like emoji size, spacing, etc.

There's an additional site setting, 'retort allow multiple reactions', which determines whether users can react to a single post multiple times or not. (It is enabled by default). If you only want users to be able to create one reaction per post (if you're using Retort as a voting system, for example), set this option to false.

The 'retort disabled categories' site setting allows disabling particular reacting in particular categories by name. These category names are case-insensitive.

For example, entering staff|announcements into this field will disallow all users from reacting to topics in the categories name 'Staff' or 'Announcements'.
