[Plugin: UpDownUpDown] Manually set post ID?

  • Hi, thanks for the plugin, well done.

    I’m trying to add this to my category pages so users can vote on the category in general (not posts). Currently, it’s picking up the last post in the category page as the ID. Is there a way to manually set the post ID (perhaps as a fake/unused post #) so it never changes? I tried this with no luck:
    <?php if(function_exists('up_down_post_votes')) { up_down_post_votes( get_the_ID(500) ); } ?>

    Thanks,
    Carlos

  • to force an ID you have to insert a string so:
    up_down_post_votes( get_the_ID(‘500’) );

    but why force a not exist number??
    also the category as an unique id, it’s registered into the _term_taxonomy table and it’s the number you see in the admin url, for example “..taxonomy=category&tag_ID=2..”

    working “a little” you could take the category id into the meta of the post, to allow to vote the category and then eventually into the category page.
