Hey There, Happy New  Year!

I was wondering if there is a way to allow users to do a re-vote.
Because i got a little portal where pictures are getting rated, only by users.
So i want to allow users to change their own rating if they want to.

Would be so nice if you guys can help me.

Sorry for the bad english - i´m from switzerland

Nope you can't or rather the plugin is not designed this way.

Thanks.. No Problem do anyone know an Alternative out there? Starrating with Re-vote, re-rating.. ? I really like this one here, but i need the revote *damn*

[GaMerZ]

Hmmm not really, I have not come across any voting that allows you to re-rate it except the ones at WordPress.org/extend/plugins/ which maybe custom coded.

Hey, thank you so much for this plugin!! Keep up the great work!!
I wanted to ask you if it is possible to total up the votes from the posts created by a user (sort of like stats).

Here is an example when a user is logged in:

You have a total of 219 votes from 5 posts.

This addition would complete my website...
I hope this would be possible.

Thanks, James

[GaMerZ]

Should be possible but I do charge for it.

[JamesGG2]

I see. So, what would be the cost?

[GaMerZ]

I charge USD$50 per hour, a rough estimate would be about 2 hours to code the function.

[JamesGG2]

Alright, I'll let you know again or contact you once I have the money to pay for this code.

Until then, James

I have three questions about WP PostRatings

I have a widget on my site called Highest Rated. Is there a way to change the listing from 10 entries to 5 entries so that I have more room for another widget?

How can I remove static pages from the Highest Rated widget? There aren't even any ratings stars on these static pages. hmmm

I can click on the stars on a video post and the theme will remember what I clicked. But when I click on the stars for a blog post, the stars are not clickable. Does that sound like a WordPress problem, a theme problem, or is it a plugin problem? My guess is that it is a theme problem. If it is a theme problem, I can contact the theme developer.

Hi, i use

WordPress 2.9.2
Theme Name: WP-CHATTER
Blog URL: http://www.todohit.com/
PostRatings 1.50
PHP 5.2.12
MYSQL 5.0.89-community-log

I do this:

To allow users to rate only once per day,
Open up postratings.php

Find:
Code:
$get_rated = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT rating_ip FROM $wpdb->ratings WHERE rating_postid = $post_id AND rating_ip = '".get_ipaddress()."'");Replace:
Code:
$get_rated = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT rating_ip FROM $wpdb->ratings WHERE rating_postid = $post_id AND rating_ip = '".get_ipaddress()."' AND AND rating_timestamp <= '".(current_time('timestamp')-86400)."'"");

Find:
Code:
$rate_cookie = setcookie("rated_".$post_id, $ratings_value[$rate-1], time() + 30000000, COOKIEPATH);Replace:
Code:
$rate_cookie = setcookie("rated_".$post_id, $ratings_value[$rate-1], time() + (24*60*60), COOKIEPATH);

I use that code, but I get an error when i run the web.
