Major Additions - Rate my Photo (HotOrNot Clone)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

Rate my Photo
A HotOrNot Clone for your Forum

I'm offering my hard work for free, without even a single copyright line in footer, expecting that some of you will appreciate the time that I spent for coding it and they will donate something.

Demo: http://www.teriakis.com/vb423/photorate.php


1.- What's this?

For first is better to say what is not! This is not a Gallery AddOn. Even if I've added the ability to search and list photos by specific criteria, still it can't be used a Gallery. RateMyPhoto is a HotOrNot Clone, where users post photos to be rated by other members. Normally the rater does not knows the current rating to avoid giving the same. Also rating just specific photo(s) is not possible. All photos appear on the queqe even if there is a choice to skip a photo to rate it at a later time. Double rating is restricted.

2.- Features

• Unilimited (one level) categories
• Photos appearing in queqe for rating
• User can skip a photo to rate it at a later time
• User can select to rate all photos from all categories, or specify a category.
• Helpful counter on how many unrated photos has the user (Total and by Category)
• Browsing Photos by specific criteria is possible:
  • By Category
  • Mimimum amount of votes
  • Min-Max rating
  • Post last XX days
  • By Username
  • Show all photos, or photos that user has rated, or photos that user hasn't rated yet.
• Listing can be ordered by:
  • Rating
  • Number of Votes
  • Username
  • Post date
  • For all above can be Ascending or Descending
• Special Tab in user profile with all photos that he has post for rating with statistics
• My Photos section in Usercp with rating statistics and options for:
  • Edit (Photo can't be changed)
  • Hide
  • Activate
  • Delete
• Sidebar Statistics block
• Moderator can Approve/Reject/Edit Photos in ModCP
• Usergroup Permissions:
  • Can View Photos
  • Can Rate Photos
  • Can Post Photos for Rating
  • Photos need approval or not.
  • Can Moderate photos

Thank you. Version 1.0.1 is compatible with vB 4.2.3
Don't know Scandal's vBGallery. I'll release my own Media Gallery AddOn today or tomorrow.

Thanks friend, I'll see how it will be their version of the image gallery.

Thanks

Usally I've this feature in most of my Mods. Is one View page and is visible only to those with permissions "Can Moderate". Maybe I've forgot to add it in this mod. I'll check it and if is missing I'll release an update tomorrow.

Do you allow Guest to Vote? That's wrong. It's like allowing guest to post in forums. You'll mess everything. Even if technically guests, depending on your settings can do anything that you'll allow them to do, the normal settings is to allow only read/view permissions.

So, no, there is no such possibility.

I know.. But it would be really interesting if the visitors vote for the pictures, because that would make the traffic grow in my opinion .

So it's unsafe to allow the visitors to vote? Not to upload pictures because that wouldn't make any sense at all, just to vote.

To make vote available to guests needs code change to restrict double votes by IP and not by userid, and is not an easy job.

Maybe guest voting increases a bit the traffic, but user registrations is what counts for a community.

Hey nick I've been using the mod and I like it a lot!! Is there a possibility that you can add a delete button for already posted photos?

Thanks man, this thing is awesome !
