<p>This plugin can understand two shortcodes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>[voting]</strong></li>
<li><strong>[voted]</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>
Let’s look at the variants of their usage.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Simplest (and most popular) using</strong>
<p>Just insert in your article or page this simple shortcode:<br />
<br /><strong>[voting]</strong></p>
<p>This shortcode will be replaced with a voting form, which allow your visitors to rate current article or page.<br />
When one of the voting buttons pressed, this form will disappear, and current article rating will be shown instead.</p>
<p>You can also use another shortcode:<br />
<br /><strong>[voted]</strong><br />
<br />This shortcode will just show the current article rating.</p>
<p>If you have administrative privileges, then, while browsing through your articles, you will see near each<br />
voting form the button with a title <strong>‘You are admin. Check answers’</strong>. This button will allow<br />
admins to see the detailed list of all votes for this subject.</p>
<p>That’s all you need to know about simplest way of using the Simple Voting plugin.</p>
</li>
<li><strong>Voting for arbitrary subjects</strong>
<p>If you want to allow your visitors to vote for an arbitrary subject, you must use more complex shortcode<br />
construction, like this:<br />
<br /><strong>[voting] Arbitrary subject name [/voting]</strong></p>
<p>Such block of code could be placed in any article, and will rate the <strong>‘Arbitrary subject name’</strong>.<br />
<br />To show the rating of the <strong>‘Arbitrary subject name’</strong>, use following shortcode:<br />
<br /><strong>[voted] Arbitrary subject name [/voted]</strong></p>
</li>
<li><strong>Voting with redirection (for experienced webmasters)</strong>
<p>Immediately after voting, visitor (and information about his vote) could be sent to another web page –<br />
just include desired URL somewhere in the subject’s name.</p>
<p>Let’s imagine, that after voting, you want to send visitor to the URL http://somesite.com/somepage.php<br />
<br />To do so, you must write something like this:</p>
<p><strong>[voting] Subject name http://somesite.com/somepage.php [/voting]</strong></p>
<p>Or something like this:</p>
<p><strong>[voting]<br />
<br />Another<br />
<br />http://somesite.com/somepage.php<br />
<br />subject<br />
<br />[/voting]</strong></p>
<p>Or just that:</p>
<p><strong>[voting] http://somesite.com/somepage.php [/voting]</strong></p>
<p>Note that although in all these examples I used same URL (http://somesite.com/somepage.php),  they are<br />
DIFFERENT voting subjects, because texts inside shortcode tags are different.</p>
<p>If, on some pages, you want to show just a rating of the subjects from above examples, you must use <strong>[voted]</strong> shortcode<br />
instead of <strong>[voting]</strong> one. Like this:</p>
<p><strong>[voted] Subject name http://somesite.com/somepage.php [/voted]</strong></p>
<p><strong>[voted]<br />
<br />Another<br />
<br />http://somesite.com/somepage.php<br />
<br />subject<br />
<br />[/voted]</strong></p>
<p><strong>[voted] http://somesite.com/somepage.php [/voted]</strong></p>
<p>After voting on any of these subjects, user will be sent to the given web page<br />
(in our examples http://somesite.com/somepage.php). To this page also will be POSTed data, containing<br />
following information about voting subject:</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li><strong>sv_vote</strong>: user’s vote (from 1 to 10)</li>
<li><strong>sv_textID</strong>: unique subject identifier, which consists of three letters and numeric ID.</li>
<li><strong>svUserName</strong>: user name</li>
<li><strong>svUserEmail</strong>: user’s Email</li>
<li><strong>svUserComment</strong>: user’s comment</li>
<li><strong>sv_nonce</strong>: one time security code, generated by the function: wp_create_nonce( ‘simple-voting’ ).</li>
</ul>
<p>
4. <strong>Database tables</strong></p>
<p>Simple voting plugin stores all information just in two database tables:<br />
<br /><strong><br />
<br />{db_prefix}simple_voting_subjects<br />
<br />{db_prefix}simple_voting_votes<br />
<br /></strong></p>
<p>That’s all. Fill free to to ask any questions: seoringer@gmail.com</p>
