Questions about Voting

Thank you very, very much! I've been able to make what I wanted: display items ordered by the average of their votes!
This extension is really great, and your support is amazing! I've just let you a 5 stars review on JED.
Thank you again for all your incredible support!

Hello,

Regards

Thanks for the info, I've just patched it like you said!

Hello,

Thanks for the amazing work you have done regarding flexicontent!

I didn't want to open a new thread as my question was already asked here :
Is it possible now to use voting only for registered members?

If it is not the case I will try to do it by myself as I unfortunately can't wait too much for this
I add a look to the code, and it seems ItemVoteDisplay function seems to have a $allow_vote property. I am wondering if I can just use the $permission->CanPublish value as a flag.
Is it a good way to perform it?

Regards
Seb

Hello

you mean:
- 1. display the field to all users registered and non-registered but only allow "Registered" Users to vote ?

OR

- 2. Just hide the field for non-registered users ?
... do this by setting ACCESS level of field


-- About 1, i am thinking it should be relatively easy to ADD, in v2.0.3, and this is indeed something that can be commonly needed

we can add a parameter to voting field to select the ACCESS level(s) that a user must have in order to be able to vote
plus a parameter for no access message (language String)

will commit this for v2.0.3, can you install from SVN?

Regards

Hello loicberder,
adding microdata format means changing the HTML to be specific tags and classes ??

I will read the microdata format for ratings, hopefully it will be easy to change HTML creating function and our JS code

-- NOTE: Since Google has adapted it,
We will try to add microdata format to all appropriate fields,in the near future, while trying not to break their functionality/appearance


Also completed what has been almost implemented a year ago:
- Configurable number of stars
- and Partial star voting too

2 new parameters:
- Rating Resolution (Joomla built-in value is 5)
- Rating Stars (Joomla built-in value is 5)

EXAMPLES:
-- 10 stars with half star voting, set Resolution: 20, Stars 10
-- 5 stars with quarter star voting, set Resolution: 20, Stars: 5
-- 10 stars with one star voting, set Resolution: 10, Stars: 10

Existing sites can not use this unless you update DB rating table with an SQL query

hello ggpdk,

We will try to add microdata format to all appropriate fields,in the near future, while trying not to break their functionality/appearance

Nice hear that. This could be great for future and will help developers in SEO.

Could be good to find a way to facilitate the microdata format implementation for text field like compagny name, adress... I know that is html css related but may be in a way some parameter can do part of the job ?

thanks for your work
