Image rating not showing for guests - Page 2

Do you want me to email the db info again

I never had this problem before, and even going back to default showphoto.tmpl file, it still doesn't work right.

Well yes I need to see the database and ftp to see the files. we need to determine really what variable is causing it. we know its not category permissions since the photos are in the same category it has to be in the photos table.

support a pp, right?

I checked usergroup settings in DB, and 2 recent uploads I uploaded, one logged in, one not, it will be the last 2 uploads in pp_photos. The settings are identical pretty much. The one with username and I shows ratings, the other does not..

login details will be forwarded to support.

My user groups in SMF doesn't match user groups in PP, I have a Guest account in PP that is not in SMF - I did update usergroups from DB.. Will the posting take from Guest, or is it suppossed to be something else?

What about guest user group number in PP, what is it supposed to be? The Db is set to 100..

Your groups need to be exact for things to work but SMF if I remember has no guest group so we create one which is 100.

Did you get my email to check it out? Find anything weird?

Yes I found your answer quite simple actually we both where looking too hard at this.

No one is every able to rate their OWN picture this is why you dont see the quickrate bar. This is right in showphoto.php

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

well, that's fine and dandy, but the problem is, I didn't upload those photos. So I am assuming if you are a viewer, you are the guest that uploaded the photo?

Correct the reason someone logged in sees the rating bar is because they did not upload that photo. A guest is userid 0 and hense a guest viewing the photo is not going to be able to rate it. Just like if you viewed one of your photos your not going to see the rate bar.

skidpics · January 29th, 2009, 04:25 PM

okay - what is the best way to tweak that setting to allow ratings then, regardless of who uploaded?

Chuck S · January 29th, 2009, 04:33 PM

Possibly remove the conditional that makes it not show

it would look like this with the conditional removed

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

skidpics · January 29th, 2009, 04:48 PM

that did the trick. I already knew that answer. Not sure why I even asked.

Thanks for your time. I will add this to the tweak list in case I have to update PP in the future..

now I just need to find that thread that showed how to get 'unregistered' or 'guest' for the name field if not logged on.
