Just edit the helpful_answer template as you see fit!

Thanks Ted. I've edited it but it's not quite working how I want.

All I want is the thumbs up/down buttons to show, with the current number/rating for each either side of the button. Then if a user rates a post, his rating is appended via ajax and the buttons stop being links (so they know they've rated). Maybe even have an alternative set of buttons to show when they've rated (maybe with a dot or alt text so we can show how they rated themselves).

At the mo, when they rate it says 'thanks' but takes all my other buttons in the td along with it (not ideal as they may want to report a post too, after giving it neg rating).

Anyway to simplify it so it works like this? Or are there more templates I could edit?

You can accomplish all of this with the template you're using now. Just be sure to use the different variables for showing and not showing ranks. You'll also need to manually add the links and images for the thumbs rather than relying on the script to put those in for you.

Let me know if you get stuck...

Hi Ted

I can get as far as showing the static images after they've voted, along with the current score - but can I tell them which one they voted too? (in the alt text will be fine).

Also, when they vote it still clears the area with the 'thanks message anyway I can get it to say thanks, but then go back to how it was?

Shall I make my current changes live so you can take a look?

Hey Ted - got it :D

Will let you know how we get on with it - stats sending is on. Would be cool if you could share the results with us too?

All you would need to tell them is to have a second set of images to show (i.e. a clear image).

You can use the $helpful should be set to 1 if they voted yes and 0 for no.

I've been waiting until we pass the 25k vote mark at which point I'll be sharing some stat trends (obviously without any site data). I do need to filter out a few things as some sites don't use the system the same way and impact the overall scores...

One tidbit based on the 20k or so votes so far... 75% of posts are given positive rankings. Not bad!

I'd be interested to see them! I haven't added the profile bits to my style yet - but I think that will be interesting too.

Can we see who rated a post? (in case of abuse)

How do you mean Ted?

Edit:
Hey Ted, how do I get the $blocks[helpful_statsbit] to display in my customised profile? :-/

Yes. There's an extensive log tool in the admin that lets you view ratings by user and remove them if you so chose.

That's another template... helpful_statsbit or helpful_statsbit_ten if you use the 10 point scale.

It doesn't work tho?

I put $helpful_statsbit in my memberinfo template and nothing shows for it :-/
