customize vote box next to story.

**jmundane** · 06-12-2007, 08:56 AM

Hi,

I searched and was unable to find the answer. Thanks in advance for your help.

On any page that shows a story (summary or otherwise), it will also show the vote box next to it. Clicking the number of votes takes you to the story page.

I would like to change the action to counting a vote. So, when a user clicks on the number of votes, it would behave as if the user clicked on the vote button beneath the number of votes.

Using pligg 9.5.

Could someone point me to the name of the file that would need to be changed? Also would greatly appreciate insight as to how the code should look?

Total newbie here and I greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks,
JM

Yeah I'm tying to figure this out also. I'm not a newb at css or programing, but I diffently not good. but I'm having a hard time finding where the code for the vote button is, so I can make the button add a vote, and not just the bottom part. If someone can point me where the code is for the vote button that would be great.

Edit /templates/yget/link_summary.tpl:
change

Code:

<li class="vote-publish"><a id="xvotes-{$link_shakebox_index}" href="{$story_url}">{$link_shakebox_votes}</a></li>

to

Code:

<li class="vote-publish"><a id="xvotes-{$link_shakebox_index}" href="javascript:{$link_shakebox_javascript_vote}">{$link_shakebox_votes}</a></li>

Not tested - but should work - let me know if some issues arise.

That makes the the number and the "vote" box on the bottom work but I want it to work on the whole button.

Anyone got an idea on how to do this? Am I not using the search well?

If you want a customized vote box - that can accomodate this - but existing vote box is a list - so accommodating your requirement is almost not possible, except the way that I proposed.
