I’ve just installed Votio, a sweet WordPress plugin that allows you to vote on the posts I write. Read my posts, decide how much you like them, then use the spiffy AJAX-powered vote images to tell me how much you liked it. Then, please leave a comment. Try it out!
One thing I don’t understand is why the plugin author forces blog owners to enter the category names for the posts that get polls. I want it to be on all my posts, so why isn’t that an option? I hacked the code a little so that I could easily make it work across all posts. I hope it wasn’t crucial. Hopefully there aren’t any side-effects. For those wondering, I added this line:
$status=’open’;
How about ending each of my posts with a link? Classic Mathematical Fallacies. Interesting stuff.

huh…looks simple but still cannot get it works! Can you mail me the file concerned?
ok thanks!
Right before it’s first used in function votio_ballot_box().
Line before: $okcats = explode(’,', $vote_cats);
Add after: $status=’open’;
Line after: if((count(array_intersect($cats, $okcats)) > 0) || ($status==’open’))
Days to vote can be easily changed to be unlimited. I think it’s a nice feature, though, so I just edited the line to -
$days_to_vote = 730; //2 years
That much time should be reasonable: any post older than that is less likely to get new votes that have much significance. If someone wants to say something about those posts, they can always leave a comment.
Yeah..I’m also puzzled…where to insert this line
$status=’open’;
and anyway to change the voting period? Change to unlimited days?
Hi,
I’m just wondering, where abouts in votio.php did you insert:
$status=’open’; ?
I’m guessing you had it outside the following IF loop and function:
if(isset($_GET['id']))
function votio_ballot_box()
If possible, could you please mail me a copy of your response to this question?
