Photo contest plugin

[round-planet]

WHY
I have developed for my own need a photo contest plugin, to be used on a photography forum to evaluate several photo during a fixed period, and to identify the best one.

WHAT DOES IT DO
1) adds a new option in album configuraion: is this album a contest, and saves the data in a new column of the album table (YES / NO); Adds a table to keep detail of votes along with voter id for contests.
2) non contest albums have an unmodified behavior
3) Contest albums with voting ="YES":
- data are anonymized (no display of any info, owner_name, ...)
- voting shows only vote from the currently logged person (does not show the average)
- does not allow photo owner to vote for own photo
- shows a square around each photo in the film strip for which the current user has already voted
- only own comment can be seen (max 1 per person)
- image are not displayed as part of any of the pseudo-albums categories (such as best vote / most viewed / ...)
4) Contest albums with voiting ='NO'
- results of vote are displayed, but not possible to vote
- other capabilities are reset to normal.
5) automateed install / deinstall from plugin page.

[Edit GauGau 2010-03-03]
This plugin has been added to the subversion repository: http://coppermine.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/coppermine/branches/cpg1.4.x/plugins/adxd_voting

It has been updated as well to reflect the version checking routines in the plugin manager that are meant to make sure that galleries don't break because of plugins installed that aren't meant for that particular version of the gallery.

New revised version 1.01 (fixing a bug when using film strip)

[Joachim Müller]

Thanks for your contribution. The plugin needs some improvements, as it doesn't work out of the box. I have added some minor fixes and a German language file.

[round-planet]

Thank you Joachim;
do not hesitate to give me your improvement, I will re-release the plugin. It is my very first plugin and my very first usage of Coppermine, so I'm sure I can learn a lot.

It's already attached to my posting...

@morch: thanks

Just integrated the danish language within the plugin; attached to this post.

[Joachim Müller]

Please stick to our naming conventions. Seems like you haven't based your version 1.3 on my version 1.2, which is not a bright idea, as I'm not fond to play attachment ping pong.

Just wanted to comment that I'm glad to see such a plug-in. I use Coppermine on my own personal photos gallery but I am using Gallery2 for an international photo club at http://www.isobap.com. View Gallery : Contest to see the dorky way in which we use the stars to cast votes I would gladly switch it over to Coppermine to have a proper voting system for this club.

Great idea for a plugin, it's just what i need.

I've installed it, but when clicking one of the rating options, i get a URL error... like "The requested URL /copper/{RATE2} was not found on this server."

New to coppermine, so any help, or a point in the right direction would be great.

Cheers,
Dave

What happens when the contest is over, can the admin then move the images to the categories they belong to ?

[Joachim Müller]

Why don't you try it?

[Mannie_]

I was planning to yes. But there i wanted to know that before i did, also i wanted  to know , if the contest duration is like a month, but you want people to start voting when the contest is over if that is a possiblity. It wasn't clear in the first post to me. I don't want to nag but just to make sure it does what i would expect before i install it

[Mannie_]

Ok i have installed it, have set to voting, but it do show the name of the uploader, even if i am logged out. I thought when voting is yes it wouldn't show that

[round-planet]

Hi
thanks for trying the plugin; did you set contest as yes?

[Mannie_]

Yes i did set it as yes, you can see here , http://www.pixelnutz.com/gallery/index.php Not safe for work the username is showing

from pixelnutz.com/gallery/

we do allow nudity

[edited by Joe Carver to add warning - Mannie_ , please remember that rule in future postings...]

[Mannie_]

I forgot to mention, since i cannot edit my own post, for every album there it now also has an extra row called evaluation

[round-planet]

Hi
thanks for trying the plugin; did you set contest as yes?

can you point me on your site towards an album where contest = Yes and voting = yes?

[Mannie_]

That caption is non-standard. It is probably added by the modpack.
