Possibility of making other events add votes

This sounds like a useful feature - I will go ahead and code this when I get some free time.

I have another use-case that's so similar to this feature request that I thought I'd post it here. Do say if it should have its own issue though.

My use case is that nodes are put through 'peer review', where users rate content via fivestar, if their rating isn't high enough the user must create a new node revision, then go through the process again. The problem is that existing votes are retained even after a new revision has been made.

In a nutshell: using Voting Rules, reset the fivestar rating (or any Voting API vote count) when a new node revision is created.

It sounds to me that was is wanted here is to take what is currently the set of events - insert / update / recalc - and make those not only events which trigger actions via Rules but also to make those events into actions themselves so that some other event could trigger a vote action.

So for Liam's case the event would be create a node revision and the action would be to reset the node's vote which isn't currently an event but if you work off of recalc you could probably make a reset out of it. Looks like there's no direct API function for blowing out a single node/user/comment's votes but a combo of loading single node, etc vote data and using the vote delete function following by recalc should approximate a single entity vote reset.

I stumbled across this module during research phase for voting where using Rules could be beneficial so I'll try to contribute what I can to support these features.

One of the problems with this module is Rules requires us to specify what type of object we´re operating on ahead of time (user, node, comment). So I would have to create seperate actions for each content type Add vote on a user, Add vote on node, Recalc on a user, recalc on a node, each with their own configuration forms, etc.

@Liam - sounds like what you want is delete votes. I´ll look into that once I´ve committed adding votes.

This sounds really useful!
In my case I would like to store the current sums of votes into a new vote (with a new tag), to use those for calculations later...
Thanks for looking into this!

Subscribing

I'm pretty sure because of the usefulness of flags this request would be very popular. Subscribing.

6.x-1.0-beta1 has the ability to vote on node, comments, and users.....I believe you need an event with one of these types....it's possible I could add a content ambiguous action - let me know if this is needed!

I couldn't find this functionality for 7.x branch.
do we have it?

Not yet on the 7.x branch
