[Feature Request] Unregistered users can make rating (vote)

Post by alphastar »

Good day.

Phoca is nice gallery. 75% of my site was made based on Phoca. Is it possible to add everybody make ratings for image/category without registering? I've seen some topics here about it. May be it is possible based on IP-adress, date, time and UserAgent for dinamical IP-adresses...

If it is not simple I will wait. Not necessary to answer me Phoca is good enough without it I just wonder. :oops:

Hi, yes it is not simple (but the most problem is my time :-( ).

There can be problme with this:
"IP-adress, date, time and UserAgent" - it is easy to implement but it is not easy for the server to check for it again and again :-( it can slow down the server well :-(

For now the commenting can be solved by external comment system: Jcomments. The solution for rating is still waiting :-(, see:
