Thanks for trying.
Maybe jjgallow  will repost it.

Does anybody have this mod. It is a great feature because I don't want my poll to be a scientific or smth like that, and if guests can't vote than I have a small no. of votes and it looks silly.

Please repost this mod :)

Hey,

Thanks for the feedback!

Here's the deal:  The link was taken off because the SMF development team wasn't impressed with the quality of the code, and rightfully so.  In particular, it makes a slight change to one of the columns in the SMF database tables - a "no-no" in mod writing.

Realistically, I doubt this will ever do anything bad, but I COULD be wrong.  My time is limited, and this MOD has limited value, since when SMF 2.0 is out, Guest voting will be available to everyone anyway.  I just haven't found the time to edit the code for proper syntax, etc. 

Make no mistake, the MOD does work.  To compromise, I've made some changes to the code so  that when you uninstall it, it will REVERSE the changes it made to the SMF tables.  So, as long as you uninstall this MOD before you upgrade to SMF 2.0, you should be laughing.  And, you won't need it, because SMF 2.0 already has Guest Voting.

Here is a link to the MOD, which I take no responsibility for.  You have been warned that it is not a polished MOD, and never will be, as it will shortly be obsolete.  However, this new MOD WILL correct the table changes it makes.  Alundra, and anyone else who downloaded from the old link, I would recommend uninstalling your MOD and installing this one.

cheers  :)

What does that mean? How do I allow guests to vote?

Jade Elizabeth

If you have 2.0 it's in the permissions settings. If you have 1.1.4, you need the mod from this topic...just scroll up it's on this page :).
