Image voting

Hi Chris

You need to move the vote form tag outside of the <a> tag wrapping the image. Let me know if that sorts it out, or there are any more issues

Thanks mate. Done that, but nothing. Here is the file after the change. I’m learning, so please excuse if it is a balls-up.

<?php
/**
Template Page for the gallery overview

Follow variables are useable :

	$gallery     : Contain all about the gallery
	$images      : Contain all images, path, title
	$pagination  : Contain the pagination content

 You can check the content when you insert the tag <?php var_dump($variable) ?>
 If you would like to show the timestamp of the image ,you can use <?php echo $exif['created_timestamp'] ?>
**/
?>
<?php if (!defined ('ABSPATH')) die ('No direct access allowed'); ?><?php if (!empty ($gallery)) : ?>

<div class="ngg-galleryoverview" id="<?php echo $gallery->anchor ?>">

<?php if ($gallery->show_slideshow) { ?>
	<!-- Slideshow link -->
	<div class="slideshowlink">
		<a class="slideshowlink" href="<?php echo $gallery->slideshow_link ?>">
			<?php echo $gallery->slideshow_link_text ?>
		</a>
	</div>
<?php } ?>

<?php if ($gallery->show_piclens) { ?>
	<!-- Piclense link -->
	<div class="piclenselink">
		<a class="piclenselink" href="<?php echo $gallery->piclens_link ?>">
			<?php _e('[View with PicLens]','nggallery'); ?>
		</a>
	</div>
<?php } ?>

	<!-- Thumbnails -->
	<?php foreach ( $images as $image ) : ?>

	<div id="ngg-image-<?php echo $image->pid ?>" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box" <?php echo $image->style ?> >
		<div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
			<a href="<?php echo $image->imageURL ?>" title="<?php echo $image->description ?>" <?php echo $image->thumbcode ?> >
				<?php if ( !$image->hidden ) { ?>
				<img title="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" alt="<?php echo $image->alttext ?>" src="<?php echo $image->thumbnailURL ?>" <?php echo $image->size ?> />
				<?php } ?>
			</a>
                    <?php echo nggv_imageVoteForm($image->pid); ?>
		</div>
	</div>

	<?php if ( $image->hidden ) continue; ?>
	<?php if ( $gallery->columns > 0 && ++$i % $gallery->columns == 0 ) { ?>
		<br style="clear: both" />
	<?php } ?>

 	<?php endforeach; ?>

	<!-- Pagination -->
 	<?php echo $pagination ?>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

Sorry mate, and another thing. The shortcode for the page/post the gallery is on, does it need to look like this:

[ nggallery id=1 template=ngg-voting ] ?

You don’t need the ‘template=ngg-voting“, unless you are creating a whole new template yourself. NGG will use the ‘gallery.php‘ template for the shrotcode [nggallery id=1]

It sound’s like you’ve done everything right, so the voting should work. Is it showing on the screen, but just now working when you click it, or is it not showing at all?

I have the same issue, the image voting doesn’t show up at all. I’ve added the line exactly as above. Using star ratings.

Have you enabled voting for the images in the gallery you are viewing. The ‘default settings’ screen for NGG Voting, only sets the defaults for new images added. You need to enable voting on existing images in NGG’s ‘Manage Gallery’ screen.
