I have a tag with the following parameters:

{exp:rating:form entry_id="{entry_id}" form_name="rating" form_id="ratingform{entry_id}" require_membership="no" allow_duplicates="yes" status="open"}

But when I submit, I get an error:

* A name is required to submit ratings.
* Your email address is missing.

Am I missing a parameter here?

I’m trying to enable voting without a required login

You’ll probably still need to add the email and name fields to the form.

But, for the heck of it, try adding this parameter:

Thanks for your help, Pie Man.

No luck with the anonymous parameter, I’m getting the same message.

Is there a way around adding the email and name fields to the form? I’d prefer if users didn’t have to enter anything aside from their rating.

It’s a required field....

What if you just set the two fields as hidden, and dummied up an email address and name hardcoded into the form?

Cool, that works.

Is there a built in way to prevent a user from rating an entry more than once without requiring membership?

I tried it with the parameters you mentioned in this thread http://www.solspace.com/forums/viewthread/616/ , but once I refresh the page I can vote again.

Any thoughts?

Try this:

Although I wonder if it will consider it a duplicate because of the same name/email

Also, try this:

CP Home › Modules › Rating › Website Preferences

Require email? NO

I gave that a shot, but I’m still able to vote again whenever I refresh the page.

Any other ideas? Or do I need to ressurect my cookie writing skills?

Are all of your votes going to be by guests? Or members & guests?

Guests only—I don’t have any sort of membership implementation on the site.

I guess it can only detect duplicates on Member accounts only. I was otherwise going to see if it wasn’t working for members for you too. (It works for me for members)
