mikethecoder Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I have a web site that has several postings each day and I want to have a score next to each one. Every user can vote just one time and it will put the score up one point or down one point so users can get an idea for which are the best postings to view. Anyone visiting the site can vote, not just members. What is the easiest way to track to make sure that voting only occurs once. Should this be something stored in the dB or should I use cookies or what? Actually, look at www.urbandictionary.com and see their thumbs up and down rating system. That is basically what I want. I can ignore the on the fly score change though. I have an iframe on my web site so that when the user clicks the link to give it a rating, the script will run in the iframe to increase the counter. So yeah, how can I accomplish this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcoweb Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Are you using a blog, forum or CMS for handling these postings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikethecoder Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 users can make accounts and submit a post. the posts will then be showed on a main page with their content being driven by the database made from those user inserts.
