I wish I had something to quote to you, it appears that it's not searching at all. It comes back with no results regardless of what I enter it seems. Maybe I don't understand how to do the search. I am putting a star in, because I really just want it to show me what was added on certain dates. Is that correct?

The mean vote would be the average rating given to all images.

I know this is an older mod, but I really am wanting to get it working. I must have made an error somewhere, because the date searches just don't work. It doesn't return anything regardless of what dates I search. I searched whole years and found nothing, even though I know that's not the case. Maybe someone can help me out ... no clue what i did wrong.

This is a mod that I've been wanting for a while but because of server moves have put it off, who knew Dreamhost would come to hate my 4images gallery and it's server load, lol.

Anyhow, this mod says 'change' code, but I'm a bit confused. Is this new code to be added to the bottom of the file or is it replacing old code?

I don't wish to have images for every category. As I have 500+, is it possible to only have them where there are images? Can the clause be written 'if there is an image' then display it? I'm clueless about code, but I like how this mod works.

Many thanks for your reply. The minimum votes required was quite easy to do.

However, I am still trying to use a 'weighted average' for the pictures, but not to much avail. Here is the formula I've been trying to incorporate for use in 4images.

The formula is also known as True Bayesian Estimate Calculation:

Weighted average = (v / (v+m)) * R + (m / (v+m)) * C

R  =  the regular average for the picture
v  =  number of votes for the picture
m  =  minimum votes required to be listed in the top 10 (currently 20)
C  =  the mean vote across the whole pictures

I've tried a few ways, but the rating never ends up 'right'. It's either way too low or too high. I guess it's just been too long since I've practiced any math skills. Any help would be appreciated.

We've been trying to do it via the new_raiting line in the functions.php file.

I'd like to have both, if not just the second thing.

I'd like for the top 20 images to have a requirement on how many votes it's received. For say, an image must have the highest rank and at least 15 votes before it will be the top ranked images in top.php. Is this possible?

The other thing is that if images raitings were based on number of votes and the rating of an image. Not important to me if the above is met. Especially since voters can only see the top twenty.

Thanks.

I have not a clue what is the causes, but all of the emails being sent by 4images that require some sort of additional information to be 'generated' are being sent blank. For example, the upload notifications emails I get do have the correct subject line, but nothing in the email. And the password request emails are also being sent blank. The same thing with the activation/validation email, it is completely blank, ie empty. There's absolutely nothing sent in the email. The subject line is there, but nothing else.

These problems began occuring after transfering to a new server, so it must have hapenned in the move, but I'm at a loss as to how to remedy the problem. Any and all help would be appreciated. I've been searching for an answer for 6 weeks now. In the meantime I've been individually approving memberships, as I get tons of people signing up without valid emails.

Thanks to any and all who help.
