ThumbsUp

Hi, ThumbsUp requires PHP. No PHP = No ThumbsUp.

As long as you give each ThumbsUp item a unique name, you are free to use ThumbsUp anywhere on your site. ThumbsUp doesn’t care whether it’s used in a loop or not.

Hi, sorry to hear about your installation woes. It will not be an easy installation for everyone, I guess. In the docs it says some skills are highly recommended for doing the installation, like: setting up a database, uploading files via FTP and editing PHP and HTML files.

If you need assistance with a certain problem, I am willing to help out. Contact me via email and provide the URL . Thanks. I might create a video one day, thanks for the tip.

Hi, thanks for asking.

1. There’s no need to use the admin panel, it’s just an extra feature.

2. To do this you need to dynamically create the name of each ThumbsUp item. You can do this via PHP variables:

3. This is not included but if you know a bit of PHP it should not be too hard to add it. Let me know if you need assistance. Thanks.

1. Yes.

2. Yes, in the config file there’s a setting called ip_lifetime for that.

3. Yes, if you know HTML /CSS. Note that some texts are actually images. The psd file is for sale at GraphicRiver.

Okay, I read you fixed this already. It’s just a matter of including the script before any HTML is echoed already. On a WP install you can typically do this in the functions.php file of a theme.

It certainly is not. What makes you think so?

Would you mind sending me the URL so I can have a look? In most templates the thumbs are grayed out because you can’t vote again.

That’s weird. Things used to work fine? From as far as I could investigate something must be going wrong on the server. The ajax request is sent, but nothing is returned. Could you enable all error reporting to debug?

Hmm, still returns nothing… I don’t really have a clue, to be honest. Wild guess: is your database full or something?

Okay, this still makes me think there should be some error. Are you sure you enabled all errors and all error outputting? Otherwise, could you have a look at the error log file on the server?

You should fix this error first: Notice: thumbsup/init.php must be included before any output has been sent. Include it at the very top of your page. in /home/evobiz/public_html/fb/Essilor/thumbsup/init.php on line 29.

When that’s fixed you should try again. Also, you can have a look at the thumbsup votes table to see if the IP is recorded there.

For “Notice: thumbsup/init.php must be included before any output has been sent. Include it at the very top of your page. in /home/evobiz/public_html/fb/Essilor/thumbsup/init.php on line 29”, I don’t know what is that error, but so far the script working fine. For the error I mentioned above, I managed to fix it by remove the “www.” at URL in config.php and run my site without typing “www.” in front. Is this normal and suppose to work like that?

You should only use a single domain, either with or without www. This is because the ajax request needs to be done on the same domain.

Well, I typically use a tool like Firebug in Firefox, or the Google Chrome developer tools to look at the network traffic. There you can see the request and response for the ajax requests.

What exactly is going wrong? Did the URL change? Don’t forget to update the “url” setting in that case.

The ajax request needs to be done on the same domain. Cross-domain requests will cause troubles, at least in Firefox, I believe. Note that you also have to be consistent with the use of “www” in your domains.

I’m afraid applying a different color to each part of a single format string isn’t possible because the format strings don’t allow HTML . Sorry.
