As a workaround for that (only wanted people to vote once) I did the following:

Changed the query in get_linklistbit to this:

PHP Code:

    $query = "
        SELECT link.linkid AS linkid, link.linkname AS linkname, link.linkuserid AS linkuserid,
            link.linkusername AS linkusername, link.linkurl AS linkurl, link.linkdesc AS linkdesc,
            link.linkhits AS linkhits, link.linkstatus AS linkstatus, link.linkdate AS linkdate, linkrate.linkvote
        FROM ".THIS_TABLE."linkslink AS link
        LEFT JOIN ".THIS_TABLE."linksltoc AS ltoc
        ON link.linkid = ltoc.linkid
        LEFT  OUTER  JOIN local_linksrate AS linkrate
        ON ( ( link.linkid = linkrate.linkid ) AND ( linkrate.linkuserid =" . intval($bbuserinfo['userid']) ." ) )
            $squery
        ORDER BY linkname
        "; 


Then under this:

PHP Code:

            $linknew = iif($bbuserinfo['lastvisit'] < $myrow['linkdate'],1,0); 


I stuck this:

PHP Code:

            $linkvoted=intval($myrow["linkvote"]); 


Then in the list_linkbit template, I changed

PHP Code:

<if condition="$links_permissions[can_rate_link]"> 


To this:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$links_permissions[can_rate_link] AND $linkvoted==0"> 


May not be the best, but thought I would post it in case anyone else wanted it. As for the star, tmeplate thing... I didnt look in the 27 page thread here, but you are right... its about as easy as could be.

Just change the lins_ratebit template to this:

PHP Code:

<br />&nbsp;<br /><img src="images/rating/rating_$linkrate.gif">
