=== NextGEN Gallery Voting === Contributors: shauno Donate link: http://shauno.co.za/donate/ Tags: nextgen-gallery, nextgen, gallery, voting, rating, ratings, nextgen-gallery-voting Requires at least: 2.9.1 Tested up to: 4.0.1 Stable tag: 2.7.6 Adds the ability for users to vote and rate your NextGEN Images. Simple options give you the ability to limit who can vote on what. == No Longer Supported == **Please note:** Due to some personal life circumstances, I was unable to provide the support level I wanted and this plugin stopped being updated awhile ago. Bringing this plugin up to date, and improving its usability are not feasible, so it will not be updated in the future. = New Replacement Plugin = I have released a replacement plugin that drastically simlifies the user experience, requiring **no** editing of templates, or code changes. I will be updating the new ratings plugin with features, and providing active support. Please check [it out here](https://nextgen-gallery-ratings.shauno.co.za/). --- == Description == = 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 == = In a nutshell, what is this? = This plugin adds options that can allow your users to vote on (more like rate) your Galleries and Images. There are options to limit which Gallery/Image to allow voting on, if the user needs to be registered and logged in, if they can vote more that once, and if they can see the current results. = How do I show the voting form? = You need to add a small tag to the gallery display template. **For image voting:** For image voting, add the following tag: `pid); ?>`, to the gallery display template. **For gallery voting:** For gallery voting, add the following tag: ``, to the gallery display template. For NGG 1.x, you can find the gallery templates in the `/plugins/nextgen-gallery/view/` directory. For the default shortcode, `[nggallery id=x]`, you add the tag to the `gallery.php` file. If you add the `template` attribute to your shortcode, you need to alter the appropriate template. eg: If you use the `[nggallery id=x template="caption"]`, you need to add the tag to the `gallery-caption.php` template. For NGG version 2.x, you need to add the tag to the `/nextgen-gallery/products/photocrati_nextgen/modules/nextgen_basic_gallery/templates/thumbnails/index.php` template. This will only work for galleries inserted WITHOUT selectiong a template from the gallery display options. NGG v2.x templating system can be confusing for some users. Please see [this page](http://shauno.co.za/nextgen-gallery-v2-display-template-locations/) for more info on which templates are used. Please be aware, for **image voting**, the 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 `
