Extra Vote Plugin

Extra Vote not only provides the ajax five-star rating feature to your Joomla 1.5 content, but it allows you to insert those beautiful voting stars anywhere else inside of your article independently, so your users can rate specific parts of it, just by adding {extravote 1}, {extravote 2}, {extravote 3}, etc, in order to id every piece of content you want people to rate.

Version updates:

• 1.2: New {mainvote} code to also show the main content rating inside of your article. Show/Hide counter option.
• 1.3: Possibility to allow only registered users to vote.

Hi,

I run a charity site and we wanted a simple voting system where people invovled could rate various activities. This fitted the bill perfectly!

Thanks :)

You honestly can't get any simpler than this plugin.
Installation was simple(as it should be) and simply adding
{mainvote} to my selected articles all it took.

This is a MUST have!
i was surprised with this plugin. I never thought this kind of voting system would show-up here in extension site as i have never seen sub-rating (rating/s within articles) :)
thanks a lot buddy

This little extra is very simple, very practical and very useful. It does the job simply and well.

I'm impressed that a lot of these best codes (or scripts or whatever) are free, and I'm grateful to these folks who contribute products like this.
This is really an excellent plugin.Great Looks, Great Work, No bugs, Great Support. All these for free! Great.

I asked the author if he can help me add more functionality to the plugin. I wasn't expecting reply but to my surprise in 1 day I received plugin ready with the custom functionality.

Many thanks to author.

This plugin is excelent!

But, it should make it possible to be called in another web applications like VirtueMart, because VirtueMart supports content plugins.

Thanks
I was precisely for this kind of plugin.
The only problem is that it conflicts with existing CSS stylesheets, at least on the theme I am using (RocketTheme Versality III for Joomla 1.5).

Tried to hack the component to fix it, but without any success.
How nice I finally find a vote plugin that works in both firefox and ie7 and in the template that I use for joomla 1.5 (let's forget about joomla 1.0 now c'mon guys!).
Just one thing though about all these voting systems, how to you rate "zero" stars? that's the only thing I would like to see.
The addition of the rating of specific parts within an article is very nice too.
Good work thanks
