 awesome work Mathieu

 Thanks a lot for your feedback Bowe :)

 Only problem, is i built the patches to be the one or the other :
 - 5644.activity_table.patch was using a setting
 - and 5644.activity_table.03.patch requires some hooks to turn favorites
 into likes

 I understand the screenshot as if the 2 of it could be used at the same
 time..
 We probably could create two types of activity : activity_favorite as in
 the patch and activity_like to make that possible without a specific BP
 component, but i guess it would be best to have it as a different
 component.

 The init goal of my ticket was to suggest an enhancement for the favorites
 feature (solving the favorite count bug appearing when a favorited
 activity is deleted at the same time).

 I have the feeling, that the real need doesn't seem to be "improve"
 favorites but "create"  a "like" feature and keep favorites the way they
 are.

 I think i'm part responsible because of my suggestion to show people who
 favorited an activity. I realized it might have been a mistake. Sorry for
 that.

 Maybe we could do smaller steps by first moving favorites out of user meta
 and leave the feature like it is today, solving the favorite count
 trouble.

 Then on a future release, consider building one or 2 components ( bp-
 favorite, bp-like )
