Does this plugin have the ability to let users view their own favorites??? I'm looking for that type of plugin (and hopefully one I can edit to let them save my posts, which are about products, as their wishlist, not only favs).

Let me know if so, and let me know if you ever add that function, if not!!!

Hi Michele,

The request iwo made (about making the pluging work individually, with each user) is something I'm looking for as well. Have you made this modification? If not, do you know where I can get such a plugin?

Thanks!

I installed it but cannot figure out how to use it. How do I select posts as a Favorite? It wasn’t clear to me for some reason.

Hi! I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for making this plugin. We are using it at NoticIEEEro, our blog and news centre for IEEE Region 9, Latin America and the Caribbean.

Now, I see what you're trying to achieve: different favorites for each user, right?

It would need a couple of things being added: a column on the table to store the user and quite a different management in the plugin. At the moment, I'm a bit busy, but as soon as I have some spare time I might look into this.

Wow, I definitly appreciate the quick response but I have already tried this as I played around with the php, this definitly allows everyone to mark their favorites but the output is for an aggregate, I mean for everone. I would like it to be user based. I am displaying the output in the author.php and I would want each user to have his own favorites on that page. I think this would require using more of the database but I am not sure, my knowledge of programming is still very limited.

@ iwo: look for this towards the end of the file:

/* All the settings are stored in a single array */ $mff_settings=array(); $mff_settings=get_settings('mffav'); $mff_settings['can_toggle']=8;

And replace 8 with something like -1. It should work...let me know!
