   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

   Rich

   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?

    Can you tell me how to remove 4 of the 5 stars from displaying under each image. I want to convert this rating system to a simple vote.

    I can't seem to locate the code to remove the other stars. Right now I have it set so the ratings won't show to the viewers and I can see how many total votes come in on each image, so that works for me, although would be a nice option so show the Total votes on an image in addition to the ratings.

    That said, I have set this up on our site in a new photo contest and advised people to just click on any star to record their vote, but that is a clumsy work around.

    Can you tell me where I can make the change so only one star appears and records for the sake of total votes on the image.

    You can see my contest page here.

    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

    I set up my voting and hacked the code to enable a Thumbs Up voting for images in our contest.

    I would like to be able to sort by the most voted the images in the Admin if possible so we can select contest winners. I may want to display them as well, not sure at this time. Is there a way to sort by number of votes without messing up the order of the images now being displayed or is there a way to get that information without having to manually go through the pages in the gallery and marking them down?

    You can see my hack on the original NGG Voting plugin at my contest site at:

    Thanks

    PS: When people leave code like the post above, no one seems to want to leave instructions on where you insert this code and on what file to do it. Would be a lot easier for all of us I am sure if you simply told us the page to edit and either the line to insert or change or the lines above or below where to insert the mods.
