Hi!
I have installed the ratings Plugin, set to show “Thumbs”. Although I have clicked the checkbox in the “Rights” section, that guests should be allowed to rate topics, you can only leave a rating when you are logged in.
What irritates me is that right next to the checkbox where I gave gights the possibility to vote, there is this red cross, indicating that guests are ignored.
Well, I want guests to be able to vote – what do I have to do to allow that?
Thanks,
McNitefly
It is not designed to allow non-registered users to rate posts.
We need to store data when a user rates a post so that they can be identified and also disallowed from rating the same post over and over again. Data can only be stored in this way against registered users. They are he only ones who can be identified.
Ah, OK, that’s a pitty.
I washoping that it would work like normal wordpress-post-rating-plugins, where disallowing multiple rating by the same person would be done via IP check … .
OK, thanks for the quick answer.
And easily spoofed and gotten around…. That said, if you modified your permission in the sfauths table to rove the ignored for guests permission (and ensured only ip checking for the plugin options) you might be able to work around… That said, have not actually tried it….
