In the Newslist and/or Newsreader module, you can choose our templates `news_latest_with_likes` or `news_full_with_likes` as news template.

### Integrate the like button into your own templates

[](#integrate-the-like-button-into-your-own-templates)

To integrate the like button into your own templates, simply include our `_plenta_likes.html.twig` Twig template where ever you want to display the button.
