  • SUGGESTIONS (some could be bugs)

    I have some ideas how to improve your plugin. Some of the related stuff might be bug related, I’m not sure since I’m new to your plugin.

    1. “SCORE:” text can be hidden by manipulating output but plugin generates it after the vote button is clicked – Would be great to have “remove score text” option or even better, provide users the option to enter their own text for it.

    2. I used “voted” class to change color of the post’s score points display if there are some points dedicated. The problem is, this works only after the page is refreshed because plugin does not add “voted” class right away on click. The easiest solution would be to add span around “SCORE:” and that way we could easily use display: none. I managed to add span with jQuery but on vote click it generates again, without span.

    3. Similar thing to point 2 is happening on up/down vote hover. Description text is “late” and it is corrected only when the page is refreshed (I’m talking about the “This post is useful” and the other text).

    4. It would be great to have the option to choose separate text (or remove it) for topic list (forum index) display of points. Now it is the same text displayed beneath the user avatar and on topics list. Adding span around “point/s” part just like in my number 1 would solve the problem (if the user only wants to hide it and leave the number up). Tried this with jQuery and it works but on page refresh hidden text appears for a brief moment.

    5. It would be awesome to have vote button displayed on topic list (forum index) as well!

    BUGS (don’t need the features at the moment but I’ve noticed strange behavior)

    1. There are some issues if checking “Allow users to vote down”, it is not working. By clicking a lot, you can actually add unlimited number of + points.

    2. Display log of users who voted is acting strange when removing vote (mini avatars in log div are randomly removed on click from all posts/replies where that user voted). On refresh everything is ok though but it might look confusing to people seeing that.

    This is not a support topic but I wanted to provide my feedback on this great plugin. bbPress seems to have very small number of really useful plugins such as your plugins are.

    Keep it up! 🙂

    Thanks!

    Thanks for that nice and complete feedback, I’ll check all of this next time I update the plugin.
