Issue Summary

This is very cool. I can see it raising the quality of link directories.

Is there any way to make clicks by anonymous users count?

Thanks

Phil

I think this is important as well. I'm not sure if the voting api permits votes by anonymous users, but I'll look into it. If not, I may need to roll my own voting table.

I looked at the upcoming Voting API 2.0 release and it does support anonymous voting. ELP currently works with Voting API 1.X, which doesn't natively support anonymous voting.

One more caveat: I'm not sure if Voting API 2.0 will be back-ported for Drupal 5. I don't think it's worth the effort to roll my own table, so anonymous clicks may have to wait for everyone to migrate to Drupal 6.
