  1. 'Hi Bryon (and everyone else reading this ) :)

    I was wondering if there is a way that people "cheat" the voting system. I have set up to have it annoymous voting so people dont have to login..

    I was able to vote throught the cellphone more than few times for the same photo, i have a contest running and i need to find a solution that people just vote once, i a need an answer as fast as possible.

    thanks!

  2. Hi Yadiel,

    Can you tell if a IP address is being supplied with the Cell phone votes? If not, then you might be able to modify the code to disallow voting if IP address is missing.

    Otherwise, you might want to switch to only allowing logged in users to vote. Hopefully it doesn't allow a logged in user to vote more than once for the same image via mobile phone.

    Let me know what you find out and I'll make an adjustment to the code if I can.

    Cheers,
    Byron

    Thank you for your fast response, Where can i see if the ip address have been supplied with the cell phone vote?

  4. You should be able to see whether an ip address is being supplied by going into your WP mySQL Database (probably through myPHPAdmin) and looking at the table wp_bwbps_imageratings. If you're using a custom prefix, then the wp_ will be different there.

    To modify it to not allow voting on the IP address, go to the file bwbps-rating.php and insert a line at line 44:

    if($voted){ echo "Already voted."; return; }

    That will let one person vote, but should stop the others. I haven't tested that, so let me know if it doesn't work.

    Hope that helps,

  5. Hi Bryon (and everyone else reading this ) :)

    i have added this code but now only one persone is allow to vote per photo, so dosn't work for me.
    Also i created a custome upload form but i have a problem with one of the custome fields cause i want to add a checkbox( where people can check: I ACCEPT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS) but when i go to Photo Manager i see everything but i dont see the checkbox checked, so how i get the data of who accept and who dint,
    will be cool also if i could make that checkbox a requiered field(just i dont know how to do it)

  6. In Photo Manager, make sure you expand the Custom Fields (there should be a toggle in the table header for that).

    BB

  7. i expanded the Custom field and i see: Terms_Conditions , the checkbox , and I agree.
    But the checkbox is unchecked all the time.
    Maybe i did something wrong in my custome field for the checkbox, i have this:

    Checkbox (Use only 1 value below. Only 1 value will be saved)

    Default value:unchecked

    List of values:I agree

  8. Hi Yadiel,

    Nope, nothing you did wrong. There was a bug. I've patched it and it's in the next update.
