I'm trying to use NodeVote (for Drupal 4.6 with the bluemarine theme), but can't figure out *how* users vote on content. I've enabled NodeVote in the admin/modules, enabled voting on all content types, and given access to the appropriate types of users. But I have no idea how users are supposed to vote -- I assumed a link of some sort would appear on each node, but that isn't happening.
Am I missing something? Is this a problem with my theme (I've tried it with several, but still can't find a "vote" link of any sort)?
It might be nice to add a comment or two about how users are supposed to be able to vote in the support documentation.
Any help is much appreciated...thanks.

kbahey commentedIf the module is configured correctly, then you should see a drop down list box below each node with a value from 1 to 10, and a button saying "Vote".
If you do not see that then you may have one of the following issues:
1. Anonymous users cannot vote. This is by design.
2. Does the user have "use nodevote"?
3. Did the user already vote (they are only allowed once)
4. Did you enable voting for the type of node in question?

spazfoxI discovered the problem -- I was viewing the nodes while logged in as admin. It might be worth including a note in the documentation that the voting mechanism does not appear for admins. It seems to be working fine when logged in as a regular user.
Thanks.
Comment #3
kbahey commentedVoting should appear for admins, just like any user. Actually, admin should ALWAYS be able to vote on nodes, since they have the "use nodevote" permission (and all permissions).
Comment #4
droopy commentedI have had the same problem of admin not being able to vote. Also, why is there a permission for anonymous users to use nodevote if they cannot vote 'by design'?
Comment #5
kbahey commentedAre you sure that the node was created by someone other than admin? No user can vote on nodes they created, not even admin.
That is the way Drupal is designed. It has two built in roles that get listed for all modules regardless of what the module does.

webchickI had this exact problem and was left scratching my head until I read this...
...which was exactly what the problem was.
I've therefore re-opened the issue as a documentation issue, and have attached a patch to README.txt with a note that mentions both this and the fact that Anonymous users can't vote at all, by design.
