Can't you use fancy powers to find out?

by **sponge** » Jul 17, 2004 @ 7:47am

Not without digging into the DBs themselves.

by **chuck** » Jul 17, 2004 @ 3:23pm

it was me kiera, actually it wasn't. i'm so vain i voted for myself. i'm serious too.

by **Chris Edwards** » Jul 17, 2004 @ 4:33pm

Actually, the DBs dont' have any info on who voted for what. It's all anonymous. I'm actually wondering who votd for me... but alas.. no way to find out.

by **sponge** » Jul 17, 2004 @ 4:45pm

If it's all anonymous, how does it know you already voted? :P

by **(TSC)Bender** » Jul 17, 2004 @ 4:47pm

Maybe it knows you voted, but doesn't keep record of who you voted for.

My attempts to open polling to non-regged users for uh.. COMPLETLY LEGITMATE USES has failed. Damn thing won't retain the settings.

by **ktemkin** » Jul 17, 2004 @ 4:52pm

There's a variable in the db table that's something like UserVoted that keeps track of user ids of users who voted but not what they voted for.

it prolly woudln't be too difficult to write a script that put the userids of the people who voted with the categories, but it would take more unnessisary memory and undermine the anonymous poll system.

and sponge.. I reckon that would take some direct php modification which keeps track of IP addresses to be entirely fair...

but you weren't going for fair, were you?
