Extension: pivote - article rating system

[razz]

I'm a happy user of the pivote extension, however i have a question regarding the widget "widget_pivotetop.php"

Is it possible to use 2 different "widget_pivotetop.php's" ?
I'm using a huge list with 75 best entries on the entry page however i only want a 10 best entry list on the homepage.

Would be happy if anyone can assist me on this.

keep up the good work

I think you can't have different widget selections between pages.

However, you could decide to edit the template of the homepage to include the [[pivote_top]] tag replacing the widget section.

I'm excited to try this out, but I can't seem to get it to work. Mousing over the rating scale returns a "pivote_hover/pivote_unhover is not defined" error, and it doesn't respond to clicks. I've tried it in a couple installations and most recently in a fresh install.

Here is a link to the fresh install I'm working with:

(This particular installation is flatfile based, but I've tried it with an MySQL setup as well. It gives me the same problems.)

I'm not sure if it's related, but I also don't see a file called pivote.txt in the db/pivote folder. I noticed that it was referred to in a previous post, but it doesn't seem to be created when I activate the pivote snippet.

I don't seem to have any issues interacting with the example posted at http://tellertest.com.

Any idea what might be the problem?

Thanks...

The reason is that the file that contains the JavaScript functions causes an error on your server -
http://jla.us.com/working/onlineoh/pivotx/db/pivote/pivote.php gives a 500 internal error. Ask your hoster why.

Thanks for the pointer Hansfn. Permissions for db and db/pivote were set to 777 but my host only allows folders to be 755. Didn't think that permissions for db would be an issue since it hasn't been a problem before ... live and learn. Appreciate the help.

Hello,

i just reinstalled pivote on my site, cause of upgrading to version 2.3.3 and discovered that for me its working in every browser but not in IE (ie8).
It does the hover effect but clicking on the voting stars IE shows up with the following error message:

Message: System error: -1072896658.
Code: 0
URI: /pivotx/db/pivote/pivote.php?mb='%rating% ratings / %numvotes% votes'&ma='%rating% ratings / %numvotes% votes including yours'&mn='You voted before'

In Firefox and Opera its working fine.
Does this happen to anybody else or know what this problem causes?
Thanks for any help!

i think the problem is solved now, the error message was indicating an incorrect charset,
adding the following right after ?php into pivotx/db/pivote/pivote.php worked for me:

header('content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

Regards,
Lomi

Hello Wim,

I'm helping (at least trying to) somebody with his website GLIOOM, but I cannot get PIVOTE to work....
I read all posts on this item but didn't find an answer.
Can you tell me where I went wrong?
If you like, I can e-mail you the access-codes.

Thank you,
Vera

Before Wim takes a look I had one. Your error console displays the missing of functions (pivote_hover and pivote_unhover). These are located in pivote.php. This file should be located in src="/pvtx/pivotx/db/pivote/pivote.php. Does that file exist in that location?
And I think that file should be chmodded to 777 (although I am not absolutely sure about that).

Thank you Harm10 for taking a look.....
"/pvtx/pivotx/db/pivote/pivote.php" is located where you've pointed it and includes the pivote_hover- and pivote_unhover-function.
I've read in "Extension: pivote - article rating system" that the CHMOD should be 644 and may not be changed; ofcourse I did try it but that didn't make a difference.
