Simple options give you the ability to limit who can vote on what. == Description == **PLEASE NOTE:** This plugin was written for NextGEN Gallery 1.x, but recently NGG have released version 2.x. I am working on bringing all the voting features up to date, but currently only the **Image** options work with NGG 2.x = Features = * Individually enable or disabled per image * Choose if registered and logged in users can vote * Allow a user to vote as often as they want, or just once per image * Show or hide the results from your users * Choose from 3 ratings types: 1-5 Stars, 1-10 Drop Down, or Like/Dislike NGG Voting was inspired by a request from Troy Schlegel of Schlegel Photography. Please read the FAQ for more info on how it works. If you want even more features and functionality, be sure to check out the [Premium add-on](http://codecanyon.net/item/nextgen-gallery-voting-premium/3307807?ref=shaunalberts). **Please read the FAQ**, as you are required to add a tag to gallery templates for certain functionality to work! == Frequently Asked Questions == = Important note about NextGEN Gallery version 2.x = This plugin was written for NGG 1.x.

Please be aware, the voting form needs to be placed inside the `foreach()` loop in those templates, as that loop is outputting each image. I find the best place to put the tag is AFTER the `
