The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I installed it (on 1.5.X) and it works great although not on IE6 (when I submit a vote, the loading keeps "rolling" endlessly, and when I refresh the page the vote wasn't taken into account)

other than that it easy to use and with some little improvement it could be perfect, such as :
-adding the possiblity to change the stars sprites via config
-adding the possibility to better position the main extravotes via config (right now we can only position it under the title or after content but it's always on the left)
-adding the possibility for multivotes (after a certain period of time)

Good extension, used it while on J1.5.
Now on J2.5 with K2 installed not working. Not sure if it is supposed to work though, if it supports k2 in the future I will use it again!

well I tried for an hour or so to make it work in joomla 2.5 ( which is listed as being supported) but it doesn't appear in my articles. Not sure what else I should be doing, I went through the documentation.

This is good in the range of free staff , that's bcoz other competent use o huge js o other libraries and has problem with other js libraries this plugin just work fine , speedy and light
grate thanks to author

Does all it says, easy to install and use. Plus if you have issues the support is efficient and quick. Recommended as a much more appealing voting system!

I wonder how can i make this great plugin compatible with Google Ratings, to display stars on search results

Does what it says on the tin!

Great little plugin.

ursitesion is absolutely right. I faced this issue too. When you click vote it save it and show it, but when you clicked again it decreases vote and show message "You already voted"
fix it please.

Perfect, simple and easy. Install and use.

For when the same plugin with option to put 10 stars instead of 5???

I have installed this plugin but i am unable to display it, i want to display below the music section on my website can anyone help me.. my website is www.djremixtown.com please check the website and help me in any way. thanks

Thanks to Vargas for this easy and powerful extension but it would be great to be able to sort articles by votes for exemple to sort articles of a specified category by number of votes.

Thanks a lot again for this extension.

I never was about to make an account for this website, but after downloading this system I did. I think Extravote is a good plug-in, for several reasons:

The application is pretty simple, installation is done in a couple of seconds. Because of the ‘few features’ it allows your website to be more unique. As a website developer you can ‘change’ the scripts to fit into your template.
You can change the language, so it’s not only for English sites (like somebody posted here). After downloading open the .RAR file. You’ll see three maps and three files. Click on the map called “language”. After clicking on the map, click on the next map: “en-GB”. Now you’ll see three files. Double click on the last file called: “en-GB.plg_content_extravote.ini”. (Open it in Word or Notepad or any other text editor).

The first three lines are a basic note from the developer. After the three lines you’ll see a white rule and then there is a list of different commands. The plug-in has different ‘command names’ linking to a ‘simple’ word. (This is for the users: they will only see the short/simple word).

The short word is always between “ “. This is the word that will be shown. You can change this word to whatever you want or translate it to your language. This will allow you, as an admin, to change the language of the plug-in. After updating the plug-in, refresh the page using the plug-in.
I must say that I only miss one small thing about this plug-in: it would be a real ‘thumbs up’ when the team made an extra option where there is the possibility that sub-votes has influence on the main-vote.

I’ll illustrate it:

The situation: you got a movie review and you want to give your visitors the chance to vote for it. You make subcategories like actors, music, movie mistakes, acting, … You allow your visitors to vote for all these subcategories. After they’ve voted it would be cool that the plug-in counts a ‘global’ vote for the movie.

Global vote (counted by the plug-in, visitors cannot vote here)
Actors: O O O X O (4 stars)
Acting: O O X O O (3 stars)
Music: O O O O X (5 stars)
Mistakes: O O O X O (4 stars)

After they have voted for the four subcategories the plug-in counts:
VOTE 1 = 4
VOTE 2 = 3
VOTE 3 = 5
VOTE 4 = 4
VOTE_COUNT = 4 (you’ve to vote for 4 things)
(VOTE 1 + VOTE 2 + VOTE 3 + VOTE 4)/VOTE_COUNT
4+3+5+4/4
16/4
Result: VAR = 4

Now the plug-in has automatically counted the global ‘vote/number/stars’ for this movie.

Only an idea for a future update.
Good download, worth downloading.

Great plugin!

Simple to install and configure. It doesn't offer lots of functionalities but does exactly what it promises to do. Great.

This plugin worked the first time I installed it. No worries, no hassles.

Excellent work!!!

Does not work installs fine shows up on 1.6 apart from you have to edit the standard vote files but you click to vote and nothing happens shame would of been a great plugin

it is very good. install, enable and forget it. excellent means excellent plugin.

by the way "is there any chance to integrate with RS Monials. I am using RS Monials for Local opinions.

Any how it is very good. Thanks a zillion for developer.

A very simple but very good plugins, a best one !!!

This plugin is very nice and I know why it's not working in Joomla 1.6.

For make it work you should activate your vote in Joomla (Content-Article Manager-Options and there you should activate Show Voting)

When you will activate this plugin you will see both of them (voting plugin of Joomla and Extra Vote).

The fast solution that I found during writing this review is to change names of .xml and .php files of Joomla plugin. So if it's Ok for you do it here: Plugins - System - Vote and I added "_" in the end of two files (vote.php and vote.xml).

Thank you very much for this plugin, it's really very nice :)

I've tried another plugin (scriptegrator) that was bigger and didn't work.
This one is perfect, exactly like other comp/mod/plg from vargas (I use Xmap too).
Thank you!

Its a very useful voting plugin for joomla. But, I found one issue when use this. Have u ever tried to give rating two times continuously? If click on star two times, total vote decrease by one after giving the message "You have already voted".
