Infocapture Like button

Module description

This module provides an admin panel which lists the InfoCapture projects in the system. When an admin selects one or more of these projects, and saves the config, those projects will have a Like button added to the top right of the view issue page. Users can like the tickets and the like value will be stored in a field with the default symbolic name "custom_iclike_total".

Each user can only like each ticket once. Once they have liked a ticket, the like button will change to "unlike" so that users can change their minds.

Next to the like button, there is a "n likes" button which will pop open a modal window to show those users who have liked this ticket.
