Number of votes, total, votes, – votes

  • Hi
    I was very pleased with this app until I realised it is not showing me a correct voting results. How is it possible to display total number of votes, number of + votes and number of – votes per vote?
    Currently it adds 1 votes per + vote and deducts 1 vote per – vote. In the end I have no idea how many members voted altogether. Just see the balance. Thanks for your help.

  • I agree. Another problem is that new idea’s automatically are listed below the list. Not really a problem when you have just a few ideas but when you have a longer list (10 ideas or more) then it becomes a real problem because new ideas will get burried under all the previous idea’s and will not get any proper exposure. It would be better to put new idea’s automatically on top combined with an option for the visitor to change the ranking to most popular, most voted and back to most recent idea.

    Other important drawbacks are : only possible to vote +1 or -1. No possibility to leave comments concerning your vote. And no posibility to discuss a proposal. That makes this pluginn more like a gimmick then a real tool for collecting feedback.

    There seems to be some code available on the Idea Factory repository on Github that can be implemented to show the number of actual votes. See :

    But it needs a developer to know what to do exactly with this code. Personaly I have no clue ’cause I’m no developper.
