Disable multiple ratings from same user?

Hi!

I’ve been playing around with the allow_duplicate parameter in the ratings form. I am only using it for ratings (not reviews), and only from logged in users. It seems to allow users to re-submit the form as long as they submit a new rating each time. Is there any way to avoid this, perhaps a conditional that only shows the rating form if they have not yet rated the weblog entry?

I believe it allows them to submit multiple ratings, but only stores the first rating as “their rating”.
Pieman will probably chime in and correct me, but that was my experience doing it via ajax.

AJP,

Rating 2.2.0 will include this exact conditional you’re requesting

You’ll be able to use this:

{exp:rating:form}
{if duplicate}Eat my shorts!{/if}
{if not_duplicate} [form stuff] {/if}
{/exp:rating:form}

I’m told she should be out by end of this week, or next week

Thanks for the reply.

It still seems to affect average ratings, which is a pain!

I’ve been trying to figure out a work-around. Perhaps submitting the user’s screen name as their review (hidden) may stop BOTH the rating and review from being posted, even with a different rating selected. Any thoughts?
