Question

like and comment for modern page on SharePoint server 2019

Binu Thomas 171

Hi all,

I have seen "like and comment" options in SharePoint online modern news pages. is it possible to add the same in SharePoint server 2019 also. Comment option is already there but no option for "likes".

Is there any way to achieve this.

Thank you

Hi
the suggested solution is is using REST API to read/write comments. how will I add a JavaScript to modern page to execute this REST API looks bit difficult for me. I was thinking of something without spfx coding.

Unfortunately there is no script editor for Modern Experience, Take a look at [https://github.com/pnp/sp-dev-fx-webparts/tree/master/samples/react-script-editor][1]. It allows you to add a webpart where you can add custom js,html, css codes.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Binu Thomas

The method provided by sharatha can only provide the "like" option in the page library, and will not change in the news page.

As far as I know, there is no OOTB method to accomplish this requirement. You need some programming methods.

You can refer to the following article：

I was looking for feature same like SharePoint online. like, views etc. in the page itself, not in the library.

If you want to use the reputation feature, you should create the community site.

If you want to use “Like” feature, you could go to page library -> library settings-> Rating settings ->enable Like feature. It will display “Like” button in the page library. you can also develop the custom SPFx code to that,
