Hi all!!!😛

I need to create a system allowing users to vote pictures...
I will go with CF again.

They requested a simple solution, like inserting radio buttons after the images, and allowing only one choice.

It will be a form.

A further request.

The user cannot vote two times, using the same IP address (from the same computer).

How to make this control authomatically?
I know some votation systems with stars made in Ajax can do that. Maybe combining a Javascript some where?
any ideas?


MANY THANKS,
as always have a nice job you all...😀

Hi gg4j,

this will not be as easy as you think, the IP limiting thing is a simple issue compared to others and you will end facing many other problems, I suggest you go with a ready made voting solution or hack one!

Cheers,

mmm... I see.
why couldn't be easy? Some resources/documentation to read?

Another idea. Is it possible to add a hidden field to a table created for a form, so that the IP will be authomatically recorded (as an ID for the item voted).
In this way, "manually", the admin can view the same IP for the same voted item, and manually delete double entries...

Ideas?

all stored records by the form will have the IP stored by default, so you already have this feature once the form is connected to a table!😉

Cheers
Max
