[Plugin: PhotoContest Plugin] Disable email verification

Yes, set the VISIBLE_VOTING to false on the settingspage and fix the bug I created by changing viewimg.php (line 443)
if (VISIBLE_VOTING != '')
to
if (VISIBLE_VOTING == true)

sorry ??

Thanks a lot. That did the trick.

This is a great plug-in by the way. I can’t wait to use it.

OMG, this plugin ROCKS now that I have this working!!

Just a thought, is it possible to remove the e-mail form field since the verification has been disabled?

Great to hear you like it ??

The plugin uses the mailaddress to set a cookie so people aren’t voting over and over.
Still like it ??

Hey Frekel,

I have a contest up and running but there seems to be a major error.

I noticed the votes are not calculating correctly. One photo had 4 votes…I then voted 4 out of 5 stars on it and now it shows 3 votes!!!

I disabled email verification for the contest. I checked the contest in wordpress admin and noticed under “view votes” that some votes are classified as draft and are not published.

Please help me! People are going to be majorly mad as the winner of this contest is going to receive a free $150 corset.

update to the above post:

I tried changing the settings to require email verification and now everyone gets an error “You Already Voted” when trying to vote. Now none of the photos can be voted on.

One more update:

It appears the “You Already Voted” error was due to trying to vote from the same computer (different username). Perhaps a cookie or IP detection.

The big problem still remains that votes are coming in as drafts. Oddly I did some test voting and some votes worked (added correctly) while others went down in votes. I checked the admin panel and confirmed that a new vote on certain photos will make all previous votes turn into drafts…even when they were originally published.

How can I stop old votes from turning into draft votes?!

Please contact me by email and i Will look into it.
