I'd like to consider myself a decently intelligent individual, but I've been staring at the Allowed Voting Range section of the Extra Voting Forms settings and I cannot make sense of it.

Here's the basic structure:

  • Positive/Negative Karma Points (Nodes/Comments)
    • Bonus Amounts - Nodes (Pos/Neg for Admin and Spec. Role)
    • Bonus Amounts - Comments ("")
  • Up/Down Voting Values (How any points voting up/down will give. These values NEED to be within the range specified above!)
    • Pos/Neg - Nodes
    • Pos/Neg - Comments

What I want to do is, I thought, quite simple, but I can't figure out how to achieve it. I simply want:
- Positive and negative voting
- Reg. user gets 1 vote up or 1 vote down per node
- Admin and Special Users (via Roles) gets 2 votes up and 2 votes down per node.

This is all in using the module with Drigg. Is this possible?

Nothing?

Hi,

Sorry. I am the original maintainer. I hadn't realised that the new maintainer had completely abandoned the module since taking it over.
Are you still interested in knowing the answer? Or, have you figured it out on your own?

Bye,

Merc.

Hi,

The current Extra Voting Form doesn't allow that. The ranges are there to set the maximum range alowable, but that range is only available with the "radio" version of the widget.

However... the widget functions are themeable. The current ones have:

[...]
 // Work out up and down voting amounts
  $up_vote_amount = variable_get('extra_voting_forms_updown_voting_up_'.$o->sk_type, '');
  $down_vote_amount = variable_get('extra_voting_forms_updown_voting_down_'.$o->sk_type, '');
[...]

So, you can _easily_ write your own theme function for your widget (with an external theme file with Drupal 6), which changes the way the widget is displayed.
Please note that this applies to the D6 version of the widget... I am working really hard to get Drigg to the point where it's totally usable with D6, so that won't be a problem for long...

Merc.
