1. vbPhotoVote Highlights

• Ability to rate specific photos only.
• Double vote not allowed, but user can edit his rating
• User can skip photos that he don't want to vote.
• User is seeing only photos that he hasn't vote before.
• Search by User, Location, Keywords
• Discussion thread for each photo.
• Email link to a friend.
• Report photo as illegal to admin.
• Many configurations per usergroup so you can easily charge users.

2.- Not only one but three(3) ways to rate!

As I know, all similar scripts in the market works on the same way. A user must rate one by one the photos and some of them they've the ability to rate by category but again one by one. With vbPhotoVote you can rate photos with one of the following ways:

• All photos one by one. But you'll never see again a photo that you've already rated!
• All photos, one by one, on selecting category. But again only the photos that you haven't rated before.
• Selected photos only, from the listing results after a search.

3.- vbPhotoVote is Smart!

• While it prevents multiple votes by the same user, it gives the ability to any user who has changed his mind about a vote that already did, to correct it. If a user search for this photo he can rate it again, but the only that it counts is the difference in points between 1st and 2nd vote. The total votes are not increase.
• On every page there are blocks with last 5 photos and top 5 photos. The contain of these blocks are according to the place that you're. In the main page shows from all categories. In a category listing limits them in the specific category. In Member area show user's top 5 and last 5!!

4.- Why your Members will love it!

Along with it's many features, your members will love it as they can see many statistical details for all their photos in one place. eg: How many votes has each of their photos, what's their position in stream in the same category, or among all photos. Also there they can edit or delete a photo, read reviews, get the link.

8.- Installation

• Upload the entire /vbphotovote directory to your webserver UNDER the folder where
  your vBulletin is installed. eg if your vb installation is located at:
  http://www.yourdomain.com/forums then the /vbmates directory must be under this (/forums).
• Upload vbphotovote.php at your forum directory (!!NOT!! in vbphotovote directory).
• Upload the file /admicp/vbphotovote_admin.php to your /admincp directory
• Upload the files in /includes/xml/*.* to your /includes/xml/
• CMOD the following directoris to 777
  /photos (inside vbphotovote directory)
  /tmp (inside vbphotovote directory)
  /thumbs (inside vbphotovote/photos directory)
• For security reasons backup your database AND turn your board off
• Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system
  is enabled.
• From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product_vbphotovote.xml
• From your adminCP from "Forum & Moderators->Forum Manager" choose "Add New Forum". This will be used for Reviews. It's better to use the default form and not
  copying another forum. The points that need attention are: Parent forum : No one, Display Order : 0 !!!! (To hide forum from listings)
• If you want to add a link to your nav bar then you must edit the NAVBAR template:
  Search For:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Add Below:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="vbphotovote.php$session[sessionurl_q]">Photo Rating</a></td>

• By default none usergroup has permissions to use vbPhotoVote, so you need to give
  permissions to any group. Goto AdminCP->Usergroups->Usergroup Manager and edit any usergroup you like to give permissions.
• Configure vbPhotoVote to meet your needs at AdminCP->vbPhotoVote->Options

I for one, instead of complaining, would like to thank you for taking the time to come here and release, for free, what you could have just as easily not released at all. I don't know why everyone likes to bash this lady so. Her mods are excellent, and make a little use of the vBulletin database tables as possible. This makes them compatible through many upgrades. Thank you, Mary.

You can't rate your own photos
No, you can only upload photos.

I'm a paying costumer and I will have to say that I support Maria's decision to release these mods for free, I can't wait for vbclubs and I will definitely pay for it when it is ready, thanks Maria for all your hard work.

Now back to the mod, Maria I still have the problem with the link to skip a photo if you don't want to vote for it, I upgraded to the latest version, well I think so, I downloaded the one available on your site unless the latest one is the one available at vbulletin.org, I will apreciate any advise you can give me on this issue.

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

when i use Reviews why is this ?? plz help
