Is it possible to remove voting from pligg?

[teachwny]

I'm not really interested in the voting feature in pligg. I've set my submissions to auto publish by editing submit.php through some instructions I found in a thread. I want to do away with voting. Is this possible? If so, what needs to be done?

I'm moving this thread to the correct forum. "customization assistance"

I searched for the answer, but I couldn't find it. I tried "disable voting" "remove voting" "no voting" and didn't get a definitive answer. It's condescending to assume I did not at least give due diligence a shot.

Then isn't it a blog, why not use wordpress instead?

I really like the look and feel of pligg, but I just don't need that functionality right now. I've changed to five-star voting and auto publishing, but I don't think my users will have any use for voting on job postings.

In the admin section under "Configure yoursite", go to:

Change the values to the values in red

Voting

Votes to publish
description: Number of votes before story is sent to the front page.
value: 0
default value: 5
expected values: number


Rating To Publish
description: For use with Voting Method 2.
value: 0
default value: 3
expected values: number

Then go to

Submit

Auto vote
description: Automatically vote for the story you submitted.
value: false
default value: true
expected values: true / false


Open /templates/yourtemplate/link_summary.tpl and comment the following code:

{*{if $Voting_Method eq 1}
 {if $story_status eq "published"}
  <ul class="news-upcoming">
 {else}
  <ul class="news-upcoming2">
 {/if}
 <li class="vote-publish"><a id="xvotes-{$link_shakebox_index}" href="{$story_url}">{$link_shakebox_votes}</a></li>
 <li class="vote" id="xvote-{$link_shakebox_index}">
  {if $link_shakebox_currentuser_votes eq 0 && $link_shakebox_currentuser_reports eq 0}
   <a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote}">{#PLIGG_Visual_Vote_For_It#}</a>
  {else}
   {if $link_shakebox_currentuser_reports neq 0}
    <span>{#PLIGG_Visual_Vote_Report#}</span>
   {else}
    {if $pagename eq "user" && $user_logged_in neq $link_submitter}
     <a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_unvote}">{#PLIGG_Visual_Unvote_For_It#}</a>
    {else}
     <span>{#PLIGG_Visual_Vote_Cast#}</span>
    {/if} 
   {/if}
  {/if}
 </li>
 </ul>
{/if} 
{if $Voting_Method eq 2}
<h4 id="ls_title-{$link_shakebox_index}">
<ul class='star-rating{$star_class}' id="xvotes-{$link_shakebox_index}">
 <li class="current-rating" style="width: {$link_rating_width}px;" id="xvote-{$link_shakebox_index}"></li>
 <span id="mnmc-{$link_shakebox_index}">
  {if $link_shakebox_currentuser_votes eq 0}
   <li><a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote_1star}" class='one-star'>1</a></li>
   <li><a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote_2star}" class='two-stars'>2</a></li>
   <li><a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote_3star}" class='three-stars'>3</a></li>
   <li><a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote_4star}" class='four-stars'>4</a></li>
   <li><a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote_5star}" class='five-stars'>5</a></li>
  {else}
   <li class='one-star-noh'>1</li>
   <li class='two-stars-noh'>2</li>
   <li class='three-stars-noh'>3</li>
   <li class='four-stars-noh'>4</li>
   <li class='five-stars-noh'>5</li>
  {/if}
 </span>
</ul>
</h4>
{/if}*} 

Now the voting button won't show. However, the title is going to be flushed left. You will have to modify the CSS definition for the class "toptitle" and add a margin-left: XXpx to make it align with the rest of the block.

Note that all the voting mechanism is still working in the background, transparent to the users.

Hope this helps
