Hello Justin,
Regarding your issue, I've fixed the issue internally and the fix will be added into next release of EasyDiscuss. For the quick fix, open the file 'JOOMLA/components/com_easydiscuss/views/likes/view.ajax.php' and look for below code at line 76:
// EasySocial instegrations
DiscussHelper::getHelper( 'EasySocial' )->notify( 'new.likes' , $post , $question );
and replace the above with:
// EasySocial instegrations
if( $post->user_id != $my->id ) {
DiscussHelper::getHelper( 'EasySocial' )->notify( 'new.likes' , $post , $question );
}
With the above fix, when the author likes his/her own topic, EasyDiscuss will no longer add notification in EasySocial.
Hope this help and have a nice day!
