Voting for guests

Plugin Requests
  • Why can guests post but not up- or downvote posts? Is it easy to make a plugin for this or a core setting in future update?

  • Votes are stored by user id, since all guests have the user id 0 it is not easy to let them vote. We could add it but then only a single guest could vote per post.

    Isn't it possible to make the user ID 0.(4 last numbers of IP) like 02912 (or something) so that the user ID is unique to the IP adres.

    Maybe it;'s also possible to get a 'ID number' or something after guest if they post.

    Like Guest#2912 (if the IP is 77.190.229.12)

    So you know when guests are chatting in a topic people know who said what.

  • I’m not sure what your use case is, but allowing votes without user id invites fraudulent votes. For example, tracking by IP is easily defeated if someone knows how to use IP address spoofing; also, guests behind a shared IP wouldn’t be able to add more than one vote.

    @julian Is it possible to adjust the plugin to take the user's ID instead of the username?

    Ko-Fi is a simple donation platform that allows people to send tip without too much hassle.

    While they do not have full blown API, they do have webhook that we can redirect to our own endpoints.

    Here's an example of the data that will be sent for a single donation:

    data = { "verification_token": "8c2a3835-4544-4f27-a53a-adfd1fcc5664", "message_id": "b54fa6ec-07c9-44aa-be0e-b0f4095d9145", "timestamp": "2023-07-29T16:27:32Z", "type": "Donation", "is_public": true, "from_name": "Jo Example", "message": "Good luck with the integration!", "amount": "3.00", "url": "https://ko-fi.com/Home/CoffeeShop?txid=00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444", "email": "[email protected]", "currency": "USD", "is_subscription_payment": false, "is_first_subscription_payment": false, "kofi_transaction_id": "00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444", "shop_items": null, "tier_name": null, "shipping": null }

    Would be nice if NodeBB have plugin that can act as endpoint so we can hook right here on our Ko-Fi profile

    And have it lists our donators on a page in mysite.com/donators sorted by date descending.

    @crazycells and that makes a lot of sense. Personally, I do read reviews, and it's quite easy to spot the fake ones you see on Amazon. I much prefer the end user's take than the manufacturer.

    @DownPW said in nodebb-plugin-imgbb - nodebb-plugin-imgur Clone:

    It seems indeed, or so I missed something (if someone can confirm)

    Confirmed 🙂 There are no settings in the ACP in v3.

    I believe this is possible with some minor theme changes.
