I need to declare a variable --- lets call it X with a value of 1 and save it in the DB linked to 2 buttons

button 1

button 2

When the button 1 is clicked I want 1 to be added to X .... so the value of X becomes X + 1 = 2

When the button 2 is clicked I want 1 to be taken away from the value of X .... so the value of X becomes X - 1

This is to be used for voting purposes.

Any assistance is welcome.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

I'm not sure how this relates to our products but non the less I'll try to provide some advice. Seems like you want to do some form of voting on your posts.

Your best option is some 3rd party plugin as we wouldn't not be able to assist with the custom coding that this requires.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
