SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Enable Rating or Likes Settings in SharePoint 2013?

In this tutorial, i will tell you about how to Enable Rating or Likes Settings in SharePoint 2013. It was a tough time to find the PowerShell or a C# API to enable or disable Rating/Likes Settings in SharePoint 2013. I found a helpful post from Nanddeep for c# equivalent. I have converted it in PowerShell, hope this will help some of SharePoint developers and admins.

Add-PSSnapin “Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell” -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue.

$web=Get-SPWeb "http://abc.com/test";  
$list=$web.Lists["Pages"];  
if($list -ne $null)  
{  
Write-Host $list.Title "not null";  
$assembly=[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c")  
$reputationHelper =$assembly.GetType("Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ReputationHelper");  
 
$bindings = @("EnableReputation", "NonPublic", "Static");  
[System.Reflection.BindingFlags]$flags = [System.Reflection.BindingFlags]::Static -bor [System.Reflection.BindingFlags]::NonPublic;  
 
$methodInfo = $reputationHelper.GetMethod("EnableReputation", $flags);  
 
#For enabling Ratings  
$values = @($list, "Ratings", $false);  
 
#OR for enabling Likes  
#$values = @($list, "Likes", $false);  
 
$methodInfo.Invoke($null, @($values));  
 
#For disable Rating or Likes  
<#$methodInfo = $reputationHelper.GetMethod("DisableReputation", $flags);  
$disableValues = @($list);  
$methodInfo.Invoke($null, @($disableValues));#>  
}

$web=Get-SPWeb "http://abc.com/test";

$list=$web.Lists["Pages"];

if($list -ne $null)

{

Write-Host $list.Title "not null";

$assembly=[System.Reflection.Assembly]::Load("Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c")

$reputationHelper =$assembly.GetType("Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.ReputationHelper");

$bindings = @("EnableReputation", "NonPublic", "Static");

[System.Reflection.BindingFlags]$flags = [System.Reflection.BindingFlags]::Static -bor [System.Reflection.BindingFlags]::NonPublic;

$methodInfo = $reputationHelper.GetMethod("EnableReputation", $flags);

#For enabling Ratings
