Voting Actions module has problems and there is nothing this project can do about that.

I have built my own mini "Voting Actions module" with hardcoded rules as a interim solution (see my sandbox).

I can confirm this problem

I'm not sure what this issue is exactly. I'm currently using voting_actions for my website and it's working correctly. I had to add the actions and action definitions through manually entering URL's but it is working correctly.

If you've enabled "actions" module but not visited the config page at admin/build/actions, there will not be any actual "actions" available for use.

Eaton is correct; however if this is the issue, this requirement is mentioned in the installation guide which I believe is part of the current vote up/down package.

I got Voting Actions to work! See the discussion at http://drupal.org/node/158464

All I had to do was to create an icons folder in the voting_actions folder. Then I downloaded the icons for that module at http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=65337

Someone please have the voting_actions download tarball fixed. I think it would cut down on all the confusion and support requests. Maybe someone could pass this request to fix the tarball on to Eaton. I hope this helps fellow Vote up/down package users.

The icons I could fix with downloading them from cvs and applying this patch.

Use url() to get the correct image path in theme_imagebutton()

This issue however I could never resolve.

Conditions are used not only for the actions set they are specified in but for others (all?) as well

I don't believe voting actions causing this strange voting behavior. I believe the problem is with userpoints. If you use User Points version 2.7 or earlier points are given out appropriately according to the voting actions you set up. If you user version 2.8 or higher, points (stranglely this is the storylink creation number of points) are awarded everytime a node changes status as a result of a vote. See issue http://drupal.org/node/177447#comment-320525

I'm still testing, but everything seems to be working appropriately now. The challenge will be to downgrade from User Points 2.12 to User Points 2.7 on my site. Hopefully, someone with programming skills can find the bug introduced in version 2.8 and create a patch to correct it.

I have voting actions working well after also applying the patch at http://drupal.org/node/189948 That patch clears up a lot of the strange logic issues that would crop up with voting actions especially when a node's point total got around zero.

I haven't discovered any problems with any of my voting actions since I applied that patch, added the icons and downgraded User Points to version 2.7, which I described above.

User Points has got a whole new version out, but I haven't been brave enough to try it out. Anyone try out the new version with Voting Actions? Does it still give out storylink node points for every change of publishing state and other strange awarding of points? User Points 2.7 works for me, so I'm sticking to the if it ain't broke don't fix it adage for a while. However, I'm always curious to hear what others are doing.

Action has been depreciated in favor of Rules.

Voting API is being integrated with Rules. See #319094: Integration with Rules
