video voting tool

Recommended Posts

Hey friends,

 

I have created a page where users can upload their own youtube videos and would like to add a feature where viewers can vote for / rate the one they like the most - the winner then gets a prize!

 

There doesn't seem to be any contributions that do this (it's not really a poll) and I wondered if anyone out there had any recommendation for something that would be relatively painless to implement. I'm not interested in remotely hosted, unless it's ad free.

 

 

TIA

I dont know without seeing what you have, but have you considered cloning the products reviews and creating new database tables to asign to each of the videos. Im assuming you already had to make a database table to hold the video urls/info, so assigning the reviews info should be fairly simple.

Here's what I have:

 

1) created a new page on my site called "video comp"

 

2) In Includes/languages/english/videocomp I used the following code:

<php

$contents = file_get_contents("includes/phprate/videocompmain.php");

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', $contents);

?>

 

3) created the content in videocompmain.php using tables and embedding youtube video links

 

4) Now I need some kind of voting tool to add underneath the video.

 

I have found and uploaded a simple voting script, but when I try to include it, nothing shows up

 

In videocompmain.php I'm using <?php include('microrate.php'); ?> - however this doesn't work (and the include text shows up in the source code page!)

 

What string should I use to include the microrate.php page content?

 

TIA
