Split Views filters and sort options in different blocks with Drupal

When i found that exposing the Views filters as a block, to use as a search block for a Search API page, would show the sort options together, i thought: "Oh sh**". I instantly thought that it would be painful to get a "specific use case" like this one working quick. But i'm working with Drupal, right? hehe

In 3 steps, the solution was simple, by the community:

Like & Dislike widgets for Drupal

It sounds simple, but while Drupal has the awesome Voting API, with Fiverstar, Vote Up/Down and many other voting like modules, we didn't have a "ready to use" solution for a "Like" widget, as we see on Facebook and many other social networks. Another issue is that many people avoid, but sometimes we do need the "Dislike" widget too. Until Like & Dislike module!
