I'm running a very early Pligg release, modified somewhat. Will be upgrading to the current release soon.

It's been tough getting the community going, but I've turned on anonymous voting, and made the stories load in a new window, both of which have helped with people reading more stories and voting on them. Once the site gets to a certain size with repeat visits/number of users, I figure I can reset these options.

Cheers,
Mubs

How do you turn on anonymous voting? Is it just the config file or is there another switch somewhere.

Thanks in advance...

Depends on what version of Pligg you're running. In my version I had to make quite a few edits, but I believe in the more recent releases you just need to set:

$anonymous_vote = true

in the config.php file.

I'm using the latest release, Beta 5, and there wasn't this option available in the config.php file. I'd really love the option to have anonymous voting enabled - could anyone help me out with this? Thanks in advance and i'll check back in a little while to see if a guru has been at work

I download the Beta 5 release, and found I needed to make the following changes (might be good if these can get into the next release).

1) js/xmlthttp.js
line: 64 changed to

if (false && user == 0) {

2) config.php
added: $anonnymous_vote = true;

3) libs/link.php
line: 334 changed to

global $anon_karma, $anonnymous_vote;

line : 348 changed to

} else if (!$anonnymous_vote)

Hope that help...

mubashar,

Can you upload the files you have so that we can use those? For some reason, the .htaccess thing messes up the beta5 version that I downloaded..I am able to get the code working on my site,but lot of the links like 'discuss' , 'trackback' etc are broken....probably, i can try using the working version you have.

Either the next version, or the version after that, will allow you to choose between the /story/15/ or the old /story.php?id=15 methods.
