Voting the guests

[larik000]

That possible to do to possible was participate in questioning guest. I so has understood that on most forum this function beside guests inaccessible. Can it is necessary somehow to change the code or already there is lifelengths?

Go to Admin > Permissions > Guests - Modify > View Polls, I believe.

This does not approach. This gives him possibility to examine questioning, rather then vote in him. Beside guests no in rights of the point of the possibility to vote, as beside the other groups.

Try Checking off the permission to post polls, that should give them the right to vote in them, and as long as you don't check off add polls to topics, or something I don't think you'll have to worry about them making their own polls.

Guests cannot vote in polls in SMF 1.1. However as a new feature in 2.0, it is possible to allow them to in SMF 2.0 (which has not been released to the public yet).

@ akabugeyes,
hmmm, I guess my question is if I wanted to allow them to, where should I start looking, such as to start editing files hehe. I'll look into it later, I need some experience :].

I so understand this function to have charge of voting only users. From file Poll.php

Code Select Expand


function Vote()
{
global $topic, $txt, $db_prefix, $ID_MEMBER, $user_info;

// Make sure you can vote.
isAllowedTo('poll_vote');

// Even with poll_vote permission we would never be able to register you.
if ($user_info['is_guest'])
fatal_lang_error('cannot_poll_vote'); 

loadLanguage('Post');

You will Not prompt that here possible to take away to remove this restriction. To beside guests too was a possibility to vote.
