Title: Emo Vote Author: mptre Published: Genver 19, 2009 Last modified: Gwengolo 1, 2011 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/emo-vote.svg) # Emo Vote By [mptre](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mptre/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/emo-vote.1.2.2.zip) * [Details](https://bre.wordpress.org/plugins/emo-vote/#description) * [Reviews](https://bre.wordpress.org/plugins/emo-vote/#reviews) * [Installation](https://bre.wordpress.org/plugins/emo-vote/#installation) * [Development](https://bre.wordpress.org/plugins/emo-vote/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/emo-vote/) ## Description Emo Vote let’s you encourage your users by letting them express their feelings by“ emoting” rather than voting. Emoting is a fairly simple activity, just press the button that describes your feeling towards the post you just read. Thanks to [Mindpark](http://mindpark.se/in-english/) and especially [Joakim Jardenberg](http://jardenberg.se/) for sponsoring the development of this plugin. Without you this plugin wouldn’t exist. A few features listed below: * Choose your own labels for each button. * Drag ‘n drop the buttons in your own order. * Choose a unqiue question for each post, using WordPress custom fields, see FAQ for details. * The buttons are fully customizeable using CSS. * “Emote” by RSS. * Sidebar widget. * Emo Vote uses the same localization technique as the well-known function `comments_popup_link()`. Just replace the parameters according to your current locale, ``. ## Screenshots * [[ * Emo Vote frontend. * [[ * Emo Vote backend. ## Installation 1. Download the plugin zip file. 2. Unzip. 3. Upload the `emo-vote/` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 4. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress. 5. Navigate to Settings > Emo Vote and customize it as you wish. 6. Place `` (localize the strings be replacing the parameters according to your current locale) in your template, for instance in `index.php` and `single. php`. ## FAQ I want to encourage my users even more by adding a question or statement before the emoting options This is possible using WordPress built-in custom fields. Add a field with the name` emo-vote` and choose value. The value can be unique for each post. The buttons looks like crappy blue squares in Internet Explorer 6 How about upgrading your browser? Just kidding, some unlucky ones are still stuck with IE6. I would recommend [TwinHelix’s PNGFix](http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/). Place `iepngfix.htc` and `blank.gif` files in your webroot and add `behavior: url(/ iepngfix.htc);` to the #input_0-#input_4 elements inside your `emo-vote.css` file. I don’t get any callback after emoting Some might experience a lack of callback after emoting. In other words, the new values aren’t sent back as they should. The callback is using the PHP function ` json_encode()` to easily parse the callback with JavaScript. JSON was first introduced in PHP 5.2. Check your current installed version of PHP and ask your host kindly to upgrade if you’re using an older version than 5.2. The sidebar widget isn’t up-to-date The info shown in the widget is begin cached for 15 minutes to reduce the number of SQL-queries. So there’s no need to panic. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Emo Vote” is open source software. The following people have contributed to this plugin.
