6. [OPTIONAL] Enable the voting filter for any input formats |

that should be allowed to have inline voting controls. |
|
|
|
|
|
7. [OPTIONAL] If you use the TinyMCE WYSIWYG editor, install |
|
|
the drupalvoting plugin to make it easy to add/edit voting |
|
|
controls to posts. To do this, move or copy the drupalvoting |
|
|
folder to your TinyMCE plugins directory. This location is |
|
|
\modules\tinymce\tinymce\jscripts\tiny_mce\plugins. Next, |
|
|
you have to either edit the tinymce.module file or copy the |
|
|
theme_tinymce_theme() function to your theme (and change the |
|
|
word theme to your theme name). Within this function, you |
|
|
need to add drupalvoting to the initialization strings of |
|
|
your TinyMCE theme (not the same as your Drupal theme |
|
|
mentioned earlier). |
|
|
|
|
|
There is section in this function (currently starting on |
|
|
line 282 of tinymce.module) that says: |
|
|
|
|
|
switch ($theme_name) { |
|
|
case 'advanced': |
|
|
$init['extended_valid_elements'] = 'a[href|target|name|title|onclick]'; |
|
|
$init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add_before'] = 'tablecontrols,separator'; |
|
|
$init['plugins'] = file_exists(drupal_get_path('module', 'tinymce'). '/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/drupalimage') ? 'drupalimage,table,emotions,fullscreen,drupalvoting' : 'table,emotions,fullscreen,drupalvoting'; |
|
|
$init['theme_advanced_buttons3_add'] = 'drupalimage,drupalvoting,emotions,separator,fullscreen'; |
|
|
break; |
|
|
|
|
|
In this example I have added 'drupalvoting' to the 'plugins' |
|
|
'theme_advanced_buttons3_add' strings. The later puts the |
|
|
button on the third row of buttons within TinyMCE, so you |
|
|
could change that to read _buttons1_add or buttons2_add. |
|
|
|
|
|
You could also add the voting control button to a different |
|
|
TinyMCE theme by another another case within this switch |
|
|
statement. You could even create your own TinyMCE theme and |
|
|
create a new case for it here. See the TinyMCE documentation |
|
|
for details on how to create a new theme. |

TODO |
|
|
---- |
|
|
|
|
|
- Add personalized "recommendations" block dependant on |
|
|
how a user rates content |
|
|
- Add a popular content block based on highly rated content |
|
|
- Add alternate voting forms besides Macromedia Flash. |
|
|
HTML radio button or dropdowns would be an easy first step. |
|
|
AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) would be better. |
