This was is the idea:

User gets 100 'up' points to spend over 100 nodes, to get a top 100. User can choose how many votes to assign to each node. Assigning points is done by pressing the 'up' button repeatedly.

The 'pressing the UP button repeatedly' is the part that does not work.

My setup:

Widget directory: Default (no need to change it for testing?)

ON Display the karma form in the links section of a node

OFF Only allow one vote - no re-voting allowed
OFF Will hide the vote given by the select box

Do not allow voting for nodes older than: (In hours, 0 for "forever"): 0

POSITIVE karma points for normal users - NODES: 999
NEGATIVE karma points for normal users - NODES: 0

No special bonus ranges.

How much voting power when a story is voted UP - NODES: 1
How much voting power when a story is voted DOWN - NODES: 0

This is the maximum number of times a user can award points...: 100
...every how many hours?: 2400
This is the maximum amount of points a user can award in total...: 100
...every how many hours?: 2400

Yet, I can only vote a node 'UP' once. (I'm an admin.)

What did I miss? :/

Hi,

That's how extra_voting_forms has been build... I am afraid it's "by design".
Allowing multiple votes from the same user would be quite involved. It would include:

* Having a setting for each node type, deciding how many votes a user can give

* For every vote, checking if the vote was done and modify the existing vote

* Change the javascript so that it doesn't disable the form if that particular setting is on

* Check carefully that none of the changes done affect the rest of the module.

Now... I am going to leave this open. However, I must say I doubt this will be implemented in the foreseeable future. The use case is just too small -- it will make the module more complicated (for everybody), and it will benefit 0.001 of its userbase.

Bye,

Merc.

Thank you for the reply! The above roadmap is a bit complicated for me, so I'll try to find another concept for the voting rather than code-changing.

What confused me into thinking it was possible, was this sentence:

'OFF Only allow one vote - no re-voting allowed'

Maybe you would consider changing that to:

'User can not change vote / No re-voting allowed'

OK. Closing :-D
This feature would just be too much against the module's philosophy, sorry.

Hi guys. I needed a similar feature, so I created a patch that allows multiple votes from users in a specific role:
