[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery Voting] Feedback

  • I’ve just installed this plugin and so far it’s quite nice, does what it’s supposed to do. However, I have a few comments/suggestions:

    • What exactly is the point of the NGG Voting button in wp-admin? It just leads to an empty page for me…
    • How about a feature where the options for each new gallery or image are automatically enabled? Like allow people to turn the “Only allow 1 vote per person” option on by default. It gets kind of tedious to have to do it manually every time I upload a new image.
    • I noticed that if I enabled some options for an image or gallery, it wouldn’t disable if I unchecked them and saved the changes. I had to manually delete the values in the database to reset them.

    I think that’s about it for now, hope you find it useful ?? Keep up the good work!

  • Hey Chanty87

    Thanks for the feedback, it’s always appreciated.

    Firstly, about the button in the backend. I was originally going to put all the voting options under their own section, so not to clutter up NextGEN’s interface. But that was scrapped when I decided it made more sense to have the voting as close to the galleries / pictures as possible. It seems I forgot to remove the function that adds the menu item, oops ??

    I think you are right in that some of the options should be checked by default, and I will look into it.

    The options that you can’t disable: which options, and is it for galleries, images, or both? I thought I tested that pretty well, but obviously something must have slipped through.

    Anyway, I was working pretty hard adding star ratings to the plugin, but real work caught up with me. You know how it is this time of year ??
    I am hoping to release a update before the new year, hold thumbs.

    Alright, cool ??

    I could disable them (both images and gallery, I did gallery first and then I unchecked them and checked it for the images instead), it just wouldn’t save.

    Btw, is it possible to generate a “top 10” list of the best rated images? If so, could you please share the code for it? Thanks a lot in advance ??

    hi,

    i installed nextGen Gallery Voting, and only see the five stars or drop down menu appear for the entire gallery.

    I enabled Voting for individual images in the Gallery, but don’t see anyway to vote for the individual images. Any help is appreciated.

    Have you added <?php echo nggv_imageVoteForm($image->pid); ?> in /nextgen-gallery/view/gallery.php ?

    Hi Shauno

    Brilliant plugin and works well with 2.9.2. Just would like to bump the question from Chanty87 re “Is it possible to generate a top 10 please?”

    In fact what I want to do is run a monthly photo competition with folks voting for their favourite photo throughout each month. At the end of each month the highest voted photo wins a prize.

    If possible I would generate on page 1 the top 10, on page 2 the next 10 and so on…. This would dynamically refresh according to votes.

    I would happily pay for the programming needed to do this.

    Thanks

    Hi Shauno,

    I was not happy with the look, nor functionality of this plugin with 3.0.1 so I uninstalled it. Now, my nextgen galleries only show 1 image and posts that have galleries in them are not visible in full. The uninstall has messed something up.

    Any suggestions? This is a major problem.

    Great plugin!

    However, quick question! I’ve created a gallery, tested it and now find out I’ve got multiple votes against the images from testing… how do I reset the voting values?

    You can easily create your own top ten by querying the vote db:

    SELECT pid, SUM(vote) AS totalVote
FROM wp_nggv_votes
GROUP BY pid
ORDER BY totalVote DESC
LIMIT 10
