HOW TO STOP MULTIPLE VOTING PER USER

Hi please,

D7.3

I realized that Dolphin allows one person to vote on almost anything multiple times. A user by using different browsers can vote as many times as he wishes on almost everything. If this is happening, then people can't trust the voting because we mostly use the voting to indicate quality, endorsement and recommendation from different users. But here is the case one person can vote more than 100 more on his own items.

 

Please is there any trick to limit one user to 1 voting per item forever?  Like one user can vote on an ad or music only once throughout his stay on the site?

 

Counting on your assistance. Thanks

That is not the default functionality of Dolphin. Can you replicate that problem on demo.boonex.com ?

Hi Modzzz,

Thanks for the reply.

 

I just voted this picture http://demo.boonex.com/m/photos/view/Hosting-tight two times on demo.boonex.com

I have attached the picture

 

I logged with the Username: admin, Password: dolphin

First I logged in on my computer

Secondly I logged with my phone

 

You can also log in with your device with the same login and details and you will see that you can give it a third vote.

 

If you are voting on the same device, it will take you some hours apart. But if you are voting from different devices, there is no time limit.

You are correct. Further checking of the underlying code shows that voting can be limited by IP address only. You cannot limit voting based on Profile. You would have to get the rating feature customized to add this functionality.
