But people could vote, since i used css sprites, instead of text. I found a solution to the “problem”.

This is interesting. What’s the technique, if you don’t mind sharing it ?

Hmm well okay, but it is NOT fully testet, and it is NOT perfect and pretty, and it probably only works, if the rater is set to “simpel”.

under “Extensions > Article ratings” i put the following, in the “Positive vote label” box: <b class=“vote_label”>Plus</b> and the “Negative vote label” box: <b class=“vote_label”>Minus</b>

I left the “Widget label” blank.

Here is the code for the article:

<txp:cbe_helpful>
<p><strong>Vote for this page</strong> (The users have given this page <strong><txp:cbe_helpful_score /></strong> points.)</p>
<p class="rating">Positive points:</p><txp:cbe_helpful_yes wraptag="span" class="number" />
<p class="rating">Negative points:</p><txp:cbe_helpful_no wraptag="span" class="number" />
</txp:cbe_helpful>
And here is the css:
a.helpfulplus span.distext, a.helpfulminus span.distext {background-position:0px 0px;margin-top:3px;margin-left:10px;}
a:hover.helpfulplus span.distext, a:hover.helpfulminus span.distext {background-position:0px -12px;}
a.helpfulplus span.distext, a.helpfulminus span.distext {float:left;display:block;width:12px;height:12px;background:url(images/picture.gif) 0 0;cursor:pointer;}
p.rating, span.distext, span.thecount, span.number{float:left;margin: 0;}
p.rating{padding-right:3px;} span.number{font-weight:bold;padding-right:30px;} span.distext, .vote_label{display: none;}

Re: cbe_helpful: Visitors can rate articles (based on wlk_helpful)

Hi Claire, ça va?

I am using this plugin on one site – and its working great – thanks

I am thinking of using it on another project which would list articles based on time – eg:

All Time Most Helpful
<txp:cbe_helpful_list limit="10" time="*" />

Most Helpful This week
<txp:cbe_helpful_list limit="10" time="-7" />

Most helpful this month
<txp:cbe_helpful_list limit="10" time="-30" />

Would that be beyond the scope of this plugin?

Hi folks :)

Sounds like a good idea, which can be done quite easily. The point is that I have to deal with the children who are on holidays for the next two weeks (sorry to tell you about my life).

Hi,
why all votes are stored twice?

Re: cbe_helpful: Visitors can rate articles (based on wlk_helpful)

I’ve had the problems others have described above with the the vote being cast within the page but not showing up when you revisit the page. When I check the db, the vote is recorded but the textpattern_id is not recorded with it, hence the next time you call up the page, it shows 0 again.

Not sure if this helps in tracking down the errors: I found this problem occurs when you use cbe_helpful inside an li list. The code added by the plugin gets inserted after the li that contains the cbe_helpful tag rather than inside it. My guess is the javascript then can’t find the thisid class. Wrapping the cbe_helpful tag inside an additional div inside the li doesn’t help either, but removing the cbe_helpful tag from the li list altogether and relocating it to a div container of its own restores functionality.
