Fivestar Not Working for Anonymous Users with Cache Enabled

Confirming. Rates do not update with pagecache enabled.

I can confirm this is happening as well. Just went live with a site and when I turned caching on I wasn't able to vote.

I'm having the same issue here. It really sucks, although it seems to work sporadically.

Any progress on this one. I have same issues with the voting and fivestar module. Can not cache views because then stars disappear. Not caching view displays is realy terrible for the performance of our drupal websites.

I have noticed this on some of our sites. I can confirm that caching seems to kill the function of that field.

Updating title and have now tested and confirmed that caching is not compatible with the module.

I have just noticed this addition to the fields. When I set the author to anonymous on the field also set the field to allow users to vote on their own content, this appears to work as a crude work around.

Update: This only worked for a few hours.

I'm having the same problem

I'm having the same problem, too. I've tried to combine Fieldblock and Ajaxblocks, but they're not working together. I'll try to write a patch for this and let you guys know.

I solved the caching problem for a client site using the following:

/**
 * Implements hook_votingapi_results().
 */
function HOOK_votingapi_results($cached, $entity_type, $entity_id) {
  // Get the Entity URI
  $uri = entity_uri($entity_type, node_load($entity_id));

  // Turn it into a URL.
  $path = url($uri['path'], array('absolute' => TRUE));

  // Use a wildcard to catch paths with query strings.
  cache_clear_all($path, 'cache_page', TRUE);
}

However the issue I have just encountered is beyond page caching, I think.. When I voted as anonymous, it was recorded against my IP. After that a colleague viewed the same page but is not allowed to vote (marked as already voted on by anonymous).

Hey Nicholas, I've created a patch that fixes the problem with only one possible anonymous vote:
https://www.drupal.org/node/2498161
Never got an answer though.

I'm now facing the same problem with caching, as we want to enable the page cache for anonymous users :(

I solved it by reloading the fivestar widget with javascript. It was very specific solution though but the same principle could be applied here. There could be an endpoint which takes in field_type and field_instance_id and then return the html result of that field instance. This should be done automatically for all widgets on the page.

I think #12 is a slippery slope, when you have lots of people rating stuff, then the page cache becomes pointless as it is constantly clearing.

#2297231-12: Fivestar Not Working for Anonymous Users with Cache Enabled is indeed not ideal because it clears the whole page from cache.
A more generic solution should indeed be possible, Marin.

Huelfe tried to use existing modules, as explained in #2297231-11: Fivestar Not Working for Anonymous Users with Cache Enabled, but it wasn't working out. Maybe meanwhile both modules do work together. At least https://www.drupal.org/project/fieldblock got updates since his comment.

But I've chosen to try yet another alternative where we don't have to proxy fields through block to be able to load their content via Ajax. https://www.drupal.org/project/authcache :

Field (new in 7.x-2.x)
Load core fields using Ajax or ESI. This is especially useful together with the Fivestar module.
