Hello,

About the plugin not triggering inside flexicontent, it is because the author of the plugin prevented the plugin from working in other extensions:

you can edit extravote.php to change code:
Code:
if ( $hide != 1 || $this->view == 'article' ) { ... }
to become:
Code:
if ( $hide != 1 || $this->view == 'article' || $this->view == 'item' ) { ... }
or to become:
Code:
if ( $hide != 1 ) { ... }


NOTE: FLEXIcontent already has multi-voting capability in the voting field,

-- which can be configured to be different per Content Type

Do you have existing data of extra-voting plugin?


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
-- Add your voice to the FLEXIcontent JED listing with a 5-star...

Thank you!
I would like to use extra vote to rate content inside the article. i.e. use it in various parts of a single field. Not between fields. For example say i might use extra vote many times in a single text area. I have no problems with the default voting that appears at the end of the article but i am not aware if i can do multi-voting in a single field with the available plugin i would be eager to know if it can be pulled off with flexi content. No i don't have any existing data with extra vote but the next project demands that i have star ratings enabled in various areas of the website.

You can use go to FLEXIcontent voting field to see the extra parameters,

Both FC voting field and extra-voting offer:
- AJAX voting
- Multiple types of voting
- Display count of votes

Advantages of FLEXIcontent:
- per Content Type to customization of different extra votes
-- FLEXIcontent has access level for voting field but this is not needed in your case
-- Define labels ONCE in the field and in the Content Type configuration, and also these are Language Filtered, in voting Plugin you add them inside the article (not sure ?? i would need to test latest versions)
-- (minor advantage) FLEXIcontent checks both the IP and the SESSION to prevent duplicate voting

Advantages of EXTRA voting plugin:
-- Voting Plugin supports selecting to allow voting to Registered only, we could easily add this too, (remember customization will be per content type too)
-- Display percentage, this is easy to add to FLEXIcontent in future version


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
