Vote2Publish

Wordpress MU Plugin: Adds a box in every post of every blog in the community. The post with a certains number of votes is republished into the “main blog”

Vote2Publish is a wpMU plugin wich allows you to define a “main blog”, and then displays a vote box in every post of every other blog in the community.

When a post gets a certain number of votes it is automatically republished in the “main blog”, preserving the original author and adding a note on the top of it with a link to where it was originally posted.

*Each blog owner can customize the vote box to match to his/her theme.. or even choose not to display it.

*Ajax powered.
*Localization ready
*Comes with pt_BR translation

Note: Requires wp-xajax plugin.

Download

== Installation ==

0. Install wp-xajax plugin
1. Copy the files to your root mu-plugins folder, so you have a tree like:

…/wp-content/mu-plugins/vote_republish.php
…/wp-content/mu-plugins/vote2publish/bg-1.gif
…/wp-content/mu-plugins/vote2publish/…all the other files

Usage

Go to Site Admin > Vote 2 Republish

. check the box to activate the plugin

. Define the “main blog”, wich is the blog the posts should be republished to

. Set the number of votes a post must get to be republished

Now, whenever a user is logged in and visiting the blogs from the community, he/she will see a box for every post where they can vote. The vote count is updated right away.

Important: The blog owners may go to Design > Vote Box layout and change wether they want to have this on their blogs or not. They also can change the colour and the aligmenr of the box. (They have to do this at least once so the default values for the box layout is loaded)

This plugin is great!

One question - I’ve tried to hack it to make the vote box only appear to users with certain roles (using current_user_can) but I havn’t managed to get it to work. Any ideas?

regards

Hi there, im constantly getting a problem when using your plugins: Vote2Publish & One Click Republish, the problem is the following, when i press the button to republish the post of post gets enough votes to get republished, the following error appears:

No XML response was returned blah blah blah

AND most importantly the BLOG stops working! when you try to get to that blog, the browser constantly redirects to somewhere and stops!

looks like the plugins are not compatible with sitewide_tags from wpmu premium

leogermani (22:09:09) :

hi andrew,

did you deactivate sitewide_tags and then vote2publish worked?

andrew (15:31:34) :

Hi leogermani,

I resolved all the issues, however, wanted to ask you if there is any way to strip Vote 2 publish from X-ajax as it seems to slow down the server actually. im wondering if the plugin would work without it?

Hi,

After installation, nothing is showing up below the design tab

30 10 2008
Chris (16:54:00) :

is there a way to make categories correlate with one another?

30 10 2008
Chris (17:58:26) :

is there a way to make the vote buttons visible to non-registered?

31 10 2008
leogermani (08:01:19) :

hi chris,

No. the plugin was designed to allow only registered users to vote. To let unregistered people to vote is on the roadmap…

Leo,,
