The YACS polling system
How to manage the votes in the polling system
I have the impression that it's possible to vote multiple times on a topic.
Is there a way to avoid this?
Also I've received user questions on how they can change their vote once they voted.
Is there any manual or information available on this topic.
Cheers

Hello Jan: >>I have the impression that it's possible to vote multiple times on a topic. Is there a way to avoid this? The only way to prevent multiple votes is to record voting operation. At the moment this is done on client side through 24-hour cookies. This lightweight approach is sufficient to avoid regular Internet enthusiastic users to vote several times when they discover the poll. But of course, this can not be considered as a secured approach. Actually, you can vote twice if you have two browsers on your workstation. moreover, you can kill cookies and vote again if you like. >>Also I've received user questions on how they can change their vote once they voted. This is not supported at the moment. >>Is there any manual or information available on this topic. The most accurate information is probably in the source file, like for many open source packages. As a starting point you may look at the script overlays/poll.php. |
