....the rating calculated as average of all votes. The formula is the following:

new rating = ((old rating * number of votes) + rating) / (number of votes + 1)

Hi Vano,   

I am still a little confused.

If i multiple votes x rating will that give me the over total value of the votes received for that image?

How can I back calculate from the formula you give above, e.g., new rating = ((old rating * nu. images) + rating).........????

For example, currently an image with a rating of 5 beats one with a rating of 4.75 BUT in actual fact the image with 4.75 actually received more votes and thus a higher overall score and was penalised when it was averaged! whereas the images with a rating of 5 sometimes only received one voter giving one good vote? 

and why do some calculate with a decimal?
for example, one image got 9 votes, and a rating of 3.34 which would give a total of 30.06 and as there isn't any decimals in my ratings which go 1 to 5 (best) I dont know how the total could have a decimal?????

any feedback advice on the formula and calculation would be greatly appreciated !!!

thanks,
michelle

I've attached the installers to the original post.

thanks Vano, i didn't notice the "attached zip files" at the bottom of the instructions on page1.

question -
i've already received some votes before the add-on was installed, is there any way i can find out who voted and what they voted for from the admin panel/database download for the votes received before the addon was added!????

otherwise, in the databases download before the addon was installed, there are fields as follows:
image_votes  / image_rating / image_hits
can you explain the logic behind the rating?
it does not seem to be a simple calculation of "votes" x "score" (given on rating template)??
does it factor in the hits too??? 

i really need help on this and appreciation feedback. 
thanks

is there another link for the installer, I cant seem to get any action on the link given here.

also -- regarding 1.7.3 regular voting/rating data, is there any way "as is" without this mod or any other to pull the voting history - i need to see who has already voted, before install the mod.
also, can anyone explain the logic of the voting calculation 4images provides?

thanks in advance,
michelle

just found this post
http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=7713.0

that says,
"I fix this bug.
Replace getimagesize in function.php
with filesize."


I've tried it (made backup first!) but not tested speed difference yet

the directory is:
includes / functions.php

post your results if it works out and/or if you find solution to speeding it up.

best wishes,

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Re: Is there a way to use 4Images with an already existent pictures folder?

« on: October 15, 2005, 08:13:35 AM »

as b.o. fan says -- with a little more hand-holding......


1. get the ID number for the category you want to upload to first:
>> in the control panel, go to [edit categories] and note the "ID:" for each category

2. in your FTP program, locate the respective folders (they will be 1, 2, 3 etc. - corresponding to your category list above) in:
>> ..../data/media

3. upload your images into the folder

4. go back to the control panel and you'll need to check new images:
>> in the control panel, go to [check new images] and select category then hit "check new images"




thank you for providing this very useful info. everyone - keep up the great work,
michelle
