Hey, do you remember that Votio voting thing I was going to write? Yeah…

It lets you add little voting boxes to every post in a list of categories you specify.

This is probably my worst plugin so far for having to tweak actual code. Call me lazy. You’ll need to add a custom template tag (<?php votio_ballot_box();?>) inside The Loop wherever you want your box to appear. Depending on your theme, this could be on more than one page. You’ll also need to modify your CSS if you want your voting box to look anywhere near as snazzy as the one here.

The worst part is that you’re going to need to edit the plugin file to set the categories that you want the voting boxes to appear on. Just look for the $vote_cats variable near the top fo the file, and set that to a comma-separated list of categories (no extra space!) that you want to add voting boxes to.

I can’t say that the code is foolproof, but it seems to be working ok so far. Feel free to report problems here.

I’m going to try using it for Free For All Friday tomorrow, so if you check out old posts in “FFAF”, you should be able to rate them.
