    This discussion is related to the Voting addon.
    I know a lot of people have been asking about the voting functionality on the vanillaforums.org community site. Well, I'm pleased to announce that we've now made the plugin available for download on our addons site so you can download away.

    Please keep in mind that this is a beta plugin so any issues should be posted on http://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/issues

    @todd there's a problem, at least with the voting plugin activated. If you have more than a page of comments clicking on the title of the thread goes to the beginning and not to the last comment

    This is great! Thank you! :D

    EDIT:
    Is it possible to completely delete that ''sort by votes/date added'' bar? My forum isn't a Q&A site so that part really is out of place atm :)

    @zuzuzu That is intentional. The idea behind the voting system is that when someone clicks on the thread, they want to see the top rated answer first, so the thread is ordered that way.

    I'd really like to have on option to choose in which categories voting should be enabled.

    @zuzuzu clicking to sort by Date Added instead of by Votes will cause the discussion to be in date order, and to again respect the LastCommentViewed style of loading into the last page you've viewed to date.

    Note: This setting should also persist for the user and apply to all other discussions opened henceforth.

    I get this when trying to enable the plugin in admin:

    FATAL ERROR IN: PHP.Gdn_ErrorHandler();

    "Voting requires the Vanilla application version 2.0.1"

    @leeandrew. Voting requires the Vanilla application version 2.0.1 which means that you have to update to 2.0.1.

    This plugin transforms my whole site into a Q&A system. Is it possible to just have the voting bar as sort of a ''rep'' system? Like, people vote your posts up and it keeps count of how many thumbs up and down you have.

    @Nimaveli. We'll probably be adding configuration options into the voting plugin. For now, you can edit your translations in a conf/locale.php and change some of the wording back to what you want. Look in the voting plugin's locale/en-CA.php to see what's changed.

    @phreak. Changed it. Thanks!

    I started the translation of the voting plugin to pt-BR. How can I enable the new language? For now I just copy the en-CA.php to pt-BR.php and translate it ... now looking for other terms at other archives to translate ...

    @Todd,
    Thanks, I'll do that :) One thing though, is it delete to change the ''sort by votes/date'' bar?

    Ah, sorry posted something before I read all the comments ^^

    Could we perhaps see a configuration page for the plugin allowing us to choose whether or not to add the bar, and to configure the local, as the .php locale would be replaced on upgrade of the plugin...

    2nd EDIT :P

    Another Idea: allow the person to choose whether it is a discussion or question when it is started, and use "coversations" for all discussions and questions.

    *Cough* *Cough*

    Not to act like I know more than you, but you forgot to add this to your class.voting.plugin.php

    public function ProfileController_Render_Before($Sender) {
    $Sender->AddCSSFile('plugins/Voting/design/voting.css');
    }

    There may even be a better solution, but this was my fix.

    You only add it to the discussion controller, which leaves a very ugly list on the user's profile page ;)

    Yeah, having the user chose whether a new thread is a Q&A or a chronological discussion would be a good addition/elegant solution.

    I had this running well until I found the problem outlined by @zuzuzu above. Clicking on a discussion area takes me to the first post, not the last read.

    Played around with this a bit more this morning. It stops going to the last read post if there's more than one page of comments. The pagination seems to disrupt it.
  • NimaveliNimaveli

    Yup, have the same problem as Caramboo, is this going to be fixed? :)

    Give them time to fix the issues with Vanilla 2.0.3 which was just released so they can fix them issues then fix the plugin.

    Also this is a Beta plugin so might want to post issues/bugs here: http://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/issues
