Voting on user-submitted posts

    @habicht

    Is there a plugin or add-on that would enable voting on user-submitted posts? I was thinking of using Gravity Forms with custom post types to receive the user-submitted posts/ideas, and then publishing the excerpts on the main page. But, I need a voting plugin to allow users to “like” or “vote up” their favorite ideas. Suggestions?

    I’ve seen a lot of plugins out there, but I don’t know which ones are compatible with Buddypress.

  • There are a few that support bbPress, just add ‘bbPress’ to your search criteria at https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

    I couldn’t find a working (simple) voting system for bbpress so I rolled my own:

    If it continues to work over the coming weeks I’ll clean up the code and share it.

    +1 It would be great to have this as a plugin. Looks nice on your site.

    I added this new Voting feature as part of the old GetShopped Support Forum plugin.

    It was the quickest way I could get a support forum (resolved/unresolved) plus topic voting working together.

    Here is the comment I made on the WordPress plugin repo site:
    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-added-bbpress-voting-and-fixed-some-bugs-version-303?replies=1

    Code is available on github. It’s not polished enough to be a standalone plugin just yet.

    I have added a few new things:
    1) topic voting
    2) sidebar registration widget
    3) copied the ‘resolved’ dropdown to near the submit button, so you can easily mark a topic as resolved while you are replying to it (much quicker!)
    4) fixed a couple of potential bugs around permissions (ie: anyone could mark a thread resolved or assign a thread to someone etc..)

    You can grab the code (and see the changes) from here: https://github.com/dtbaker/bbPress-Support-Forums

    The voting and sidebar registration features can be seen in the demo here: http://ultimateclientmanager.com/forums/forum/feature-requests/

    (I have modified some of the div tags/classes in this plugin to better support bootstrap, so it might look a bit funky on the standard bbPress install)

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Thanks for sharing this. Very helpful!

    I had a couple of comments seeing that this is a work in progress. This may just be my install. But I noticed that non-admins could see the drop down but couldn’t actually successfully change the status of a post. I also think the sorting menus should be conditional on a support forum, not a voting forum.

    Again. Thanks for sharing. I hope this feedback is useful.

    I’ve updated the plugin to include a (very basic) paypal payment feature and the ability to mark topics as “accepted”. You have to manually update the topics when payments come in, I don’t have enough time to make any sort of PayPal IPN integration.

    Code has been updated here: https://github.com/dtbaker/bbPress-Support-Forums ( warning, my paypal address is hard coded into includes/bbps-vote-functions.php )

    Screenshots:

    Main forum page, it sorts topics by “funds” then “accepted” then “votes”.

    Admin topic page: you can vote, mark topic as accepted, and manually update payments.

    User topic view, can vote (when logged in) and pay:

    I know this thread is super old, but I thought I would jump in here to let anybody (who stumble upon this thread) know that I developed a free plugin in the WordPress plugin directory that adds voting to bbPress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-voting/

    Just like the OP found, there was nothing out there that offered this pretty common functionality to a bbPress forum, so I developed my own plugin to do it. I hope you like it!

    Thanks for the great job! Does this additive some performance impact, how you think? 🙂

    Not much. It’s a pretty small plugin that has 1 javascript file and 1 css file which enqueue properly so they can be bundled and minified by your caching plugin if you have one. It also doesn’t introduce any CDN resources. So, I would say the performance impact of this plugin is negligible.
