SuperVote

SuperVote is a Pages listing template to add a thumbs-up/thumbs-down functionality to create engaging voting databases like ranker.com. While Pages databases already have a rating functionality, each record needs to be opened first and a rating value between 1 and 5 has to be chosen. With SuperVote, voting gets much easier and you will get a lot more votes. 

What’s needed:

• Invision Community 4.5 with the Pages application

• You should be familiar with setting up Pages databases

How it works:

Under the hood, SuperVote uses the regular voting system of Pages. A thumbs-up click will save a 5-star rating; a thumbs-down click represents 1 star. Because SuperVote uses the standard voting system, you can easily add the template to existing databases and also remove it at any time without loosing any data. Users are also still able to leave 2-, 3- or 4-star ratings on the record view page (A dedicated record view template might come later if requested).

Each entry in the listing view is represented by the record title and the record image (if available). You can also add additional custom fields to the listing view. The listing entries link to a full record view page as usual. The amount of information shown on mobile phones can be controlled through the plugin settings. 

Settings/Features:

• Record image aspect ratio

  • narrow

  • normal

  • wide

• Show record image on phone view

• Show meta information on phone view

• Show guest rating buttons on phone view

• Downvote BG color

• Upvote BG color

• Voted icon color

• Limit downvoting for new accounts

Notes:

• Voting is limited to registered members as with any Pages database. 

• The template can be added to an unlimited number of databases or database categories, but the plugin settings will apply to all uses at the same time. 

• The listing page doesn’t offer moderation options (like mass-move, mass-delete). These type of functions have to be performed from the ACP.
