- Option to view voting results poll-style after a vote has been submitted.

I don't see an option like that, it seems to be the standard-way, but how can I make it show the results right away, even when the user has not voted yet?

I am also experiencing this error on my modified emerald template. Is there some kind of hook missing?

Using 5.2.15a

Hi,
Does anyone use this mod with Phorum version 5.2.16 ?

- I download rate_this_thread_1_2.zip in my forum/mods dir
- I unzip it and get a new ./rate_this_thread dir
- I configure & activate the mod using Phorum Module Settings
... but nothing appears ?? :(

I tried to understand this mod and it looks like that I must add
include directives in my emerald template, but how ?
I can see part of a menu appears if I add

{INCLUDE "rate_this_thread::voting_form"}

in emerald read.tpl, ok, but where must I put the other tpl ??

There is no README and no doc that I found for this mod. :(

Thanks if someone can help...

Hi- although this is a great module, the editing error is really an issue for me. I'm using this module to allow users to submit restaurants, and when a user omits a detail in their original post (like an address) I'd like to go in and fix it, or allow them to, without inadvertently deleting all already cast votes. Every edit wipes out all of the votes on that particular thread.

This is the perfect module for this purpose, and I'd love to get this resolved. I couldn't code a module like this, but I have a basic understanding of code that may be enough to fix this. If no one has time to make the fix (which seems to be the case, and is understandable- no one's getting paid to do this) is there any direction someone could point me in? Perhaps somewhere to start?

Thanks

I'll look into this and release an updated version.

Hi, thanks for the great module!

I'm just having one issue- when a user edits his/her original post (with the poll) all of the poll data is erased. What can I do to prevent that?

Hi! Thanks for the compliments, and the feedback. I'm glad everyone likes this module.

I'll update it soon, to fix the issue Phil Connolly mentioned. Then when I get some time, I'll incorporate some of the other suggestions people have made. They're all very good ideas.

Thanks again!

Actually, we advertise always using absolute URLs instead of relative URLs for Phorum. So your proposol is perfectly sound. See the developer docs for some of the reasoning behind this.

I have been trying out this module, and there is a small issue when it runs on a system that incorporates search engine friendly URLs:

In rate_this_thread.php the urls to the graphics (i.e. the stars) are all relative which is fine normally. But not in SEO friendly URLs, where the page level URL will be re-written to be in folders (i.e., something like http: //mysite.com/2/3/topic_foo).

Example, a line of code like this:
$s .= '';
results in a broken image because it is relative to http: //mysite.com/2/3/

I suppose we could make it the author of module "SEF URLs" problem, but one easy solution here is to just preface each image URL with $PHORUM["http_path"], example:
$s .= '';

Anyway, I am continuing to try this module out and this is how I worked around the problem. Thought I would pass it along.

-phil.

True, Joe! If I only could find individuals my entrepreneurial spirit and both sides of my brain could agree with..

Korsakov you have a lot of great ideas, but I really think you need to consider having a php programmer or two on retainer ;-)

Have you also considered displaying poll results on the list page? It will save time if users do not have to "digg" into the read page in order to check the popularity of the according post. Another interesting option of course would be a set of routines listing messages by popularity, most visited, etc. But this will require core work.

It was created by Ravenswood for me, but I wanted it to be available to everyone when he was done with it. So now it's done, and here it is :) I tried to plan it with many flexible options built in so that it could be used for a variety of purposes, in keeping with Phorum's theme.

I like the idea of not letting people vote on their own threads, I'll bring that up with Ravenswood :) Maybe an option where you can choose to allow or disallow voting on your own threads.

Congratulations! Well done!
Maybe there should be a restriction to users voting on their own threads?!
Also, it would be elegant at some point to click icons instead of choosing from drop-down menus.
Other than that it looks like a winner! Thank you for your efforts!!

This is a module for rating threads, it was created by Ravenswood. :)

Rating options:
- Stars
- Numbers
- Thumbs up/down

Other Settings Options:
- Submit comment with vote (individual user's vote will show up with their comment in a post, Amazon-review-style).
- Allow/disallow anonymous users to vote.
- Select any number from 0 - 100 as a rating option (shown either as numbers or stars) for voters.
- Rating settings can be unique to each forum (One forum can be 0-5 stars, another can be 0 - 10 stars, another can be thumbs up/down, etc).
- Folder-wide settings can be inherited to subforums or overridden by individual subforums as needed.
- Option to view voting results poll-style after a vote has been submitted.
- Several template design options to choose from.

Enjoy! :)
