Allow authenticated users to vote multiple times

The widget configuration is stored in a $widget object. You may add the configuration option to the form in rate_widget_form() (in rate.admin.inc). The call to votingapi_set_votes() is made in rate_save_vote() (rate.module). The $widget object is available in that function.

The master branch is used for 6.x-1.x, so please use that version.

Most new features still go in 6.x and get ported to 7.x later. Ignore the 2.x branch for now, it's not coming soon, but will contain a rewrite of the admin interface.

I've committed this to GIT. Thanks!

For reference; the following code can now be used to allow endless voting (on all widgets):

function MODULE_rate_vote_alter(&$votes, &$context) {
  $context['criteria'] = FALSE;
}

Looking forward to the admin section.

Desperately need this functionality however I am using the 7.x-1.2 version.

I don't suppose this has made it to 7? If not, could anybody help me with a patch that would work in 7?

This hook can be implemented in both D6 and D7.

Ah beautiful! So, all I need to do is employ a custom module that utilizes the hook listed above and all widget's can have endless voting?
-edit-
I've created/enabled a module with the hook and don't see any change in behavior. I'm currently using the thumbs up widget as a counter as well. I want to make sure I know how to make multiple votes per node, per user work.

So after a few days of scratching my head, I decided to look in rate.module and the patch listed above in #4, Absolutely did not make it into the 7 release.

I added (as per the patch in #4):

$criteria = NULL; //added

and

  $context = array(
    'redirect' => &$redirect,
    'save' => &$save,
   'criteria' => &$criteria, //added
    'widget' => $widget,
  );

and now it works.

You're right. I've now put it in GIT for 7.x-1.x, thanks!

Patch still doesn't appear to have been commited properly. The following changes still need applied:

- votingapi_set_votes($votes);
+ votingapi_set_votes($votes, $criteria);

Forgot to change the status

It has been committed finally:
http://drupalcode.org/project/rate.git/commit/3274946

Thanks again for the investigation!

A semi-related patch awaits review at #1333172: Show the authenticated user their most recent vote, not their first.

Is the patch ready yet ?

To enable multiple votes by authenticated users i just edited the votingapi.module (/sites/all/modules/votingapi/votingapi.module)

From Line 132 to Line 153 added " // " infront of all codes which disables clearing out old votes if they exist and therefore members can cast multiple votes

this is how it looks after i add " // "

// Handle clearing out old votes if they exist.
  //if (!isset($criteria)) {
    // If the calling function didn't explicitly set criteria for vote deletion,
    // build up the delete queries here.
    //foreach ($votes as $vote) {
      //$tmp = votingapi_current_user_identifier();
      //$tmp += $vote;
      //if (isset($tmp['value'])) {
        //unset($tmp['value']);
      //}
      //votingapi_delete_votes(votingapi_select_votes($tmp));
    //}
  //}
  //elseif (is_array($criteria)) {
    // The calling function passed in an explicit set of delete filters.
    //if (!empty($criteria['entity_id'])) {
      //$criteria = array($criteria);
    //}
    //foreach ($criteria as $c) {
      //votingapi_delete_votes(votingapi_select_votes($c));
    //}
  //}

Note : This worked with fivestar module not tested and tried on other modules using voting api

Works perfect in rate module for drupal 7 , Thanks !! Energyblazar

In regards to #18, it does work, but the problem is that someone could just sit there hitting the vote button thousands of times. Is there a way I can do the following:

1) Allow Multiple votes on the same node, but ...
2) Only allow one vote (across the entire site) per 24 hour period.

Comment #18 works for me too on Drupal 7 and Rate module. Thanks @Energyblazar
