Running Joomla 1.6.3, this extension didn’t work at all. The documentation is for Joomla 1.5. The support forum was locked in January 2010 so I can’t ask report the problem or ask for help setting it up.
I am sure that this could be one awesome extension, if it didn't fail to work. I have installed it and published it, but somehow it fails to display the actually voted stars. It only displays empty stars until one votes. then again, emptiness. I have tried looking into the forum, but the according section is locked. how unfortunate.
Excelent plugin. The only bad thing i found is that (at least in my 1.6) the old rating shows below the extravote and I cant hide it without hiding the Extravote. But veryveryy nice

Thank you!
In order to hide the core rating system, go to Extensions -> Plugin Manager, find "Content - Rating" and disable it ;)
It looks very nice, is simple to use and works great!
Very nice appearance. And it works... only if you're not using Explorer, and if the user doesn't try to vote before logging in (and some other issues). The support forum is locked (last message sent in january 2010) so, after a few days using it in my site, I admit I'm going to change it. Sorry, it was apparently lovely.
Easy install, easy use, simple and elegant! Users can give their vote twice: [1] general, one-time vote or/and [2] unlimited number of votes within an article, on images or any piece of content.
unlike the other plugin i tried out, i found this one didn't conflict with my other plugins (like simple image gallery).
it works excellently, and counts ratings without the need to refresh the page. looks nice, and displays a little thank you message when someone has voted.. cute!

This rating system has much promise, but the developer must be waiting on more donations before he answers simple problem questions.
The extra vote rater will not score votes for anything and the developer just goes along ignoring many peoples request to answer why.
He would get more donations if he just put the time in to give a breif answer, explanation or even an I dont know for an answer.
I am pretty experienced with this Joomla thing and this is the first time I have actually gotten frustrated with a developer?
