Urgent problem with voting

Post by Jochn »

Hey, I have problem with voting.
To vote you'll need to have an account in Joomla! but I need to have voting possibility for every anonymous person. I know similar issue is added to wish-list. Maybe you can tell me where I can find that part of code which makes voting accessible for every person?

Hi, the voting system is fully implemented with the accounts - so there is no way to vote without being registered. The problem is, there is no other optimized way how to identify users

when by IP - this can be faked or you get performance issue to check all the IPs, etc. see similar posts where this is explained.

And what if guest can vote few times?
I don't need actually one vote for guest, they can vote few times for one image. It is possible?
The only thing I need for now is to enable voting without registration.
(I've read similar posts).

As written above there is no such option as in such case the voting does not have any sense :-( and can be faked easily :-(

Ok. Jan urgently I need to have voting for an unregistered users so I have it (another plugin bla bla bla nevermind):P
What error now I have, is a "back button"

http://polaircup.pl/index.php/gallery here you have a site.

Now slowly, click on "Demo" (BTW. you can vote :P), and now if you click a picture you will have bigger picture, (another issue) I don't have names of the images in this place, and if you click "back" button it will back, but no to the article with voting, but... I don't even know where, even upper menu disappear 8-/ Maybe you know what's the problem is?

Edit.
After you click image the menu disappear.

Hi, the back button links to parent category or to categories view. In fact the category view have no information from which link the user came, so It is not able to make back button link to previous site - in fact it is not back button but up button. :idea: :-(
