Hello,
I'm using Pligg 9.9 beta with the default yget template. I've modified Pligg to accept anonymous posts and anonymous comments, among other things. One other major alteration I've made is abandoned the "Published/Upcoming" separation: all posts become published automatically upon submission and get filed into category pages, linked to by tabs at the top of the page.

The problem that I'm having is that the vote buttons won't update dynamically when someone votes. When I reload the page they appear correctly (regular vote button if the user hasn't voted yet, grayed out if they have). I'm using Firebug to diagnose the problem and get this message in the Javascript error console:

$(A) has no properties
in pligg_effects-min.js (line 1)

I'm not too familiar with scriptaculous and the encoding that they did to obfuscate the code makes my eyes cross. Is there another way around this problem so that the vote button updates automatically? I'm surprised this is happening since I haven't altered much (if any) of the backend code related to voting.

Thanks in advance!

I tested the page also when logged in - the votecount increments correctly when a user is logged in, but the "Vote"/"Voted" text itself does not. I'm checking the .../js/xmlhttp.php page, but it seems to be that the $A thing isn't getting defined to update the page dynamically, though all the backend is fine.

So have you modified yget at all? There are a couple template edits that could mess this up easily, specifically in link_summary.tpl.

Hi!
Yes, I have modified yget fairly extensively, including link_summary.tpl. The main/biggest edit I made within link_summary.tpl was to the voting method logic, here is what I have now:

{if $Voting_Method eq 1}
		
		{if $link_shakebox_currentuser_votes eq 0 && $link_shakebox_currentuser_reports eq 0}
			<ul class="news-upcoming2">
			<li class="vote-publish"><a id="xvotes-{$link_shakebox_index}" href="{$story_url}">{$link_shakebox_votes}</a></li>
			<li class="vote" id="xvote-{$link_shakebox_index}">
			<a href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote}">{#PLIGG_Visual_Vote_For_It#}</a>
			</li>
			</ul>
		{else}
			<ul class="news-upcoming">
			<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}">
			<span>{#PLIGG_Visual_Vote_Cast#}</span>
			</li>
			</ul>
			
		{/if}
	{/if}

I've preserved all of the id names within link_summary.tpl to the best of my knowledge, so I don't think the dynamic updater is trying to access an element that doesn't exist.

After some more testing, I went into the /js/xmlhttp.php file and scoured it. In the function changemnmvalues, I commented out the Scriptaculous component and switched it over to a plain ol' target2.innerHTML alteration. Later on I'll be doing more advanced stuff, but for now switching off the Vote link and altering its style to be grayed out is enough. Works fine now, though without firing the javascript library.

Edit: still not sure what the root of this problem was/is, if anybody knows it would be much appreciated!

I haven't figured this out either. I'm using a different template than yget and my link-summary has also been altered quite a bit.

Has anyone come up with solutions for this?
