I am making a small app that lets users vote items either up or down. I'm using Django (and new to it!). I am just wondering, what is the best way to present the upvote link to the user. As a link, button or something else? I have already done something like this in php with a different framework but I'm not sure if I can do it the sam...
Hi all, I'm trying to create a Stackoverflow like voting system, and I've run into a slight problem. I have the following HTML that has jQuery onClick events wired to it: <div id="c_<%=Html.Encode(Model.C.cID) %>" class="votes"> <img src="../../Content/gfx/Up.png" class="up" alt="" /> <span class="votecount"><%= Html.Encode(M...
Is there a way to programmatically access the "voting" feature of Outlook email? I'd like to be able to send emails with voting enabled, and also get the replies (preferably without polling). Thanks! ...
I want to add a "like" functionality to a blog I am creating in Ruby on Rails to let people "thumbs up" a post. Then I would like to be able to display the most liked posts in the side bar. I am new to rails so rely heavily on tutorials and stack overflow. Any good resources or what is this even called. I assumed "voting" for this questi...
Instead of rating items with grades from 1 to 10, I would like to have 1 vs 1 "fights". Two items are displayed beside each other and you pick the one which you like more. Based on these "fight" results, an algorithm should calculate ratings for each item. You can see this approach on Flickchart.com where movies are rated using this app...
Hey all, I am wondering what are the technical hurdles involved with offering a voting system (or say ratings) without requiring the user to sign in. I know there are issues with robots, voting a bunch - but what if you keep the users IP address? Do proxies become an issue? I'd like to build a public voting system that is still reliab...
Hi folks, I'm new here, but I love the site. I checked through the other similar questions, but I didn't see what I'm looking for. I'm a musician, and I've been doing a "song of the day" thing for a while where I write a little song every day. I want to post the songs as <div>s inside <li>. In the divs, I just want a simple mp3 playe...
I'm planning to build a community-driven website with voting functionality similar to StackOverflow (or Digg etc..). I really like SO's voting system where your points are deducted for voting down someone and so on. Anyway, is there any open-source module/component available that I can plug into my app directly without having to reinven...
I noticed that for voting SO implements an XHR method which POSTs to a posts controller and sends the post ID and vote type through the URL, in addition a fkey parameter is sent, eg: http://stackoverflow.com/posts/1/vote/2 I'm going to be implementing a similar technique, I'm wondering what logic I could use to prevent duplicate votin...
Hi, I am trying to figure our a way to calculate rank. Right now it simply takes ratio of wins / losses of each individual entry, so e.g. one won 99 times out of a 100, it has 99% winning rank. BUT if an entry won 1 out of total 1 votes, it will have a 100% winning rank, but definitely it can't be higher that of the one that won 99 time...
I was curious and downloaded the code but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I thought I might find a database table with user ids mapped to link ids or comment ids. But I can't seem to find anything like this. ...
Hi, I am looking for a voting plugin with the following features: 1. Allow like or dislike votes( with or against). 2. Translates votes into a percentage( 45% result for example) 3. Can translate percentage into a relevant image( so a green light if liked or otherwise a red light if disliked). That's almost all, and if it could generate...
I just downloaded OpenSTV after seeing the most recent SO blog post, regarding the results of the moderator election. Jeff wrote that he used OpenSTV to conduct the election, and supplied a ballot file (.blt) along with it that contains the voting data. My question is: how do you create a .BLT file in C#? Here are two ways that I can ...
I'm building a small application that highly depends on anonymous user voting on some sort of items. It's so small that requiring registration would be tedious and could not be justified. Anyway, I did some research on this, including a search here on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/search?q=anonymous+votes), and doesn't seem th...
Suppose I am allowing users to vote only if they are registered users. I should limit each user to vote only once per article? I should maintain a table with 4 columns - articleid, userid, bit (to indicate positive/negative) and a datetime column. Do you still see this being abused? to obtain net rating, I would query the table twic...
I've searched for a while and can't find this option. In Drupal 6.15 I'm trying to setup a Poll that will allow me to upload an image for each option to vote on, and have the image inline with the radio button. Also I'd like to have a text field for each option to describe the image. thanks ...
I've been attempting to implement a robust voting system in rails for some time but have been struggling. Initially I built my own voting system, but it was simplistic. In a nutshell it just incremented a votes_count column in the "Answer" model using the counter cache...this worked fine for me for a while until I discovered vote_fu......
Currently we are running a competition which proceeds very well. Unfortunately we have all those cheaters back in business who are running scripts which automatically vote for their entries. We already saw some cheaters by looking at the database entries by hand - 5 Star ratings with same browser exactly all 70 minutes for example. Now ...
There are a lot of questions similar to this but none dealing with webforms and c# that I have found. I have Linq-to-SQL, a Vote table where I want to record the vote records(Voteup/down/time/ipaddress/user etc) Is this the way to do it or is there a better way: Make updown imgs, hide an id of the object being voted on somewhere in th...
I am about to embark on a new project - a video website. Users will be able to register, and vote on videos by clicking "like" or "dislike", or something to that effect. In any event, it will be a 2-option voting system, not a 5-star system. Every X number of days, I will be generating a "chart" of the most popular videos. So my questi...
