Cannot toggle upvote

[laymonage]

I've already done this in #18 but for some reason GitHub throws FORBIDDEN errors. Maybe we need to ping some hubbers and see what's the issue?

Upstream discussion: community/community#3968

[laymonage]

Update: they're aware of this problem and have put this on their to-do list.

I noticed Giscus adds an upvote to any user comment, is it related to this issue?

[laymonage]

@alejandrohdezma yeah it's already implemented, but it doesn't work until GitHub allows toggling upvotes using the API with an app-issued token.

[alejandrohdezma]

Good to know! Thanks! 😸

@laymonage Can you please hide .gsc-upvote-button gsc-social-reaction-summary-item with css until then it starts working, I am telling this just because it doesn't looks good when visitors see something is broken is there any way I can inject css for me only into that iframe?

Yeah having an option to toggle a simple CSS rule that set display: none on gsc-upvote-button would be great.

I made a couple of themes that add only these styles:

@laymonage is it possible to hide the upvote button since it does not function properly? I tested the script manually on my page in the console but it can't hide it. Thanks in advance!

let elements = document.getElementsByClassName('gsc-upvote-button');
for(let i=0; i < elements.length; i++){
                        elements[i].style.display = 'none';
 }

Given that it's been two years and GitHub still hasn't fixed this, I've opted to disable the button and change the styling a bit. I don't hide it completely as I think it's still useful to see the number of upvotes on the comment.

Maybe there could be an option to hide it?

[laymonage]

Sorry, I don't like to add an option that would likely be removed in the future. If you really want to hide it, you can use a custom theme or self-host giscus.
