[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] [NextGen Gallery Voting] Really Need a Solution to Change a vote

  • I really really need a solution so that users can change their vote, and it only gets counted once. And I need it ASAP

    I tried allowing multiple votes, but because the page reloads and the pictures previously voted are also refreshed (with the drop down appearing instead of the thank you message) it’s too confusing for the judges of this particular contest I’m running.

    Ideally what I would like is once a user has vote the message says “thank you for your vote. you have rated this image a #. Would you like to change your vote?” – click on change, change the vote, and have it change in the total in the back end as well.

    There must be a work around, I just don’t know how to do it ??

    Any help would be AMAZING! I’m on a time crunch and really don’t want to have to install coppermine to get around this :/

    Thank you!

  • Unfortunately there is not quick thing you can do to allow the editing of votes. It would be possible to add it in as a hack for a specific setup, but to add that functionality into the plugin as a public release would take a lot of work.

    Yeah I suppose that’s my question then – how to do such a hack

    Honestly if you could help me out or point me in the right direction I would be so grateful. My php
    skills leave much to be desired but..yeah, any help would be amazing as I’m in a pretty big bind.

    How hard is it to track down and change votes via the database is my follow up question?

    The [wp_]nggv_votes table holds the votes. The structure is self explanatory.
    I can’t exactly talk you through this. It’s a big project, that would require a good understanding of php. You aren’t just copying and pasting snippets.
    Things like, is it image or gallery voting? Are you requiring users to login to vote? Can users see the main results? All of those influence how to go about this.
