Image rating not showing for guests

skidpics · January 26th, 2009, 01:06 PM

Hate to bother you Chuck,

But I think I may have a glitch in the ratings.

I have rating enables for guest..

When i view the pic as a guest ( I didn't upload), there is no rating field.

In one particular image, I checked the DB and it is indeed marked with 1 for allowrate and allowcoms, but nothing will show up until I log into the site..

I also checked the DB is comments are enabled, and it states '1'

I don't have it set for comment approval.

here is the one I am checking: Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - 23-01-09_1206_edited

Do you have category voting enabled for guests as well for the categories? Do you have allow quick ratings set to yes in admin as well?

yes. never changed that part.

I just uploaded an image logged in, and can rate that one when viewing as a guest, but not when uploading as a guest, and trying to rate as a guest I cannot. Comment box shows up though.

recent working example: Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - palo duro canyon

non working example: Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - 691

Let me check my modified uploadphoto.tmpl.

I removed the parts about title, description and keywords, trying to simplify it a bit since it asks again on the bulk upload, but the part about image ratings is still there and being passed on, as previously checked in the DB with an upload

Definately looks like a setting. I would have to look at it more in depth,

uploaded the default uploadphoto.tmpl, and that didn;t seem to make the differnece. still no ratings for guests showing. I will leave it up until you have a chance to look at it.

Do you still have the old admin access or do you want me to email it to support again?

I verified all the settings, and nothing has been changed.. so I am not sure what it could be.

Chuck S · January 26th, 2009, 09:13 PM

You would need to email details to support.

skidpics · January 26th, 2009, 09:21 PM

emailed just now.

thanks for checking it out.

Not a problem will check helpdesk for sign in details and respond accordingly

Chuck S · January 27th, 2009, 09:21 AM

Both examples you provide above have a rating bar and I rated them.

skidpics · January 27th, 2009, 10:35 AM

that's weird.

this one doesn't have one for me: Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - 691

but this one does: Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - palo duro canyon

and as you can see, I have not rated this one.

You know what. the image rating shows if you are logged in, as a guest, the second one does only.

you logged in to rate the image. try without and let me know.

I guess we would need to see what the difference is. I viewed many photos not logged in and see the rate box so we need to see what the difference is with that one photo. Obviously the category permissions to rate are correct because other photos viewed have the rate box.

skidpics · January 28th, 2009, 08:38 AM

Right. I just some more uploads from some users. check this out and see it. I want to know if it isn't local to me. Let me know. And I will compare a couple of photos in the database to see what the settings are..

Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - ~My Pictures~ - should not show.

Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - catandtoychick1 - should show

let me know. and thanks.. for helping me a bit. seems like something is not getting saved for the guest uploads.

Chuck S · January 28th, 2009, 09:00 AM

well you need to show examples that dont show in the same category like you did before. That shows me its some setting in your database like close comments or something like that in the photos table. Thats what I am leaning towards.

skidpics · January 28th, 2009, 09:13 AM

I checked the DB for 2 images in the same category, and the settings are the same..

Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - PICT0186
and
Skidpics - Fast, free image hosting - 132_crazy

The second one shows the rating, first one (recent upload) does not. O course, it does show up when logged in. ;-)

let me try an upload as guest to another cat and see what it does

Chuck S · January 28th, 2009, 09:19 AM

They are not the same. who uploaded the first I see no name? The settings can not be the same. We know its not category permissions as that would affect all images. It has to be the photo info.

$rateperms = ( $cattype == "a" ? $CatPerms['ugvote'][500] : $CatPerms['ugvote'][$dbcat] );

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

If you need help I would need to see the database.

skidpics · January 28th, 2009, 09:26 AM

guest are uploading the photos, and again I think from a previous discussion, guest do not have a name in PP - sometimes though, it shows up as unregistered, but most of the time, there is no name..

Chuck S · January 28th, 2009, 09:28 AM

what I am saying though is the entries in the photos table can not be identical if two photos are uploaded to the same category and one can be rated and another can not.

The only thing off the top of my head is the close comments thing.

If this is in showphoto.tmpl, mine shows this:

if ( $Globals['allowrate'] == "yes" && $rating != 0 && $ratingtype != 1 )
{

Chuck S · January 28th, 2009, 09:33 AM

php file

in the tmpl file you want to pay attention to this

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

We just need to track down what is different here what is the permission that restricts it from showing.

skidpics · January 28th, 2009, 09:50 AM

why are these 2 lines different?

if ( $Globals['dispquick'] == "yes" && $ratedisplay != "" && $ratingtype == 0 )

if ( $Globals['allowrate'] == "yes" && $rating != 0 && $ratingtype != 1 )
