Reactions

Modern emoji reactions for Moodle forum and blog posts.

This local plugin adds an emoji reaction bar to forum and blog posts, allowing users to react with configurable emoji (e.g. thumbs up, heart, laugh). Reactions are anonymous — only aggregate counts are displayed. Users can select multiple emoji per post.

• GitHub-style trigger button with popup emoji picker
• Reaction count pills displayed inline alongside post actions
• Multi-react: users can add multiple different emoji to the same post
• Per-forum enable/disable via forum activity settings (off by default)
• Site-wide admin setting to enable/disable globally
• Admin-configurable emoji set
• Anonymous display (counts only), with full user logging in the database
• Works with dynamically loaded inline replies via MutationObserver
• Includes a course-wide Reactions report
• Tested on Moodle 4.5 Boost theme and Snap theme
