Confiforms: voting control not working, not counting votes.

[karina ospina]

Hi

I need to get user feedback (confiform registration), show the list of topics registered (confiforms tableview) and allow users to vote for the topics we should discuss in a retrospective (confiform field type voting control).  I followed this tut: Quickly capturing employee votes on things that matter - Vertuna WIKI - ConfiForms)

After clicking vote on an item, the voting count doesn't increase it remains 0 no matter what, the vote button doesn't change. 

I tested with my user, another colleague user. So I assume the problem is not logged user. I inserted the field "votes.asCounts" it doesn't count anything. 

I don't know what might be happening with something so simple as setting a voting control!?

Hi

There is no such function as "asCounts", but there is a function called "asCount" that you can use

So, the expression should be votes.asCount

And the ConfiForms Field needs to be used from within view macro, ie in TableView in current case

Please note that voting control works only for authenticated users

Hey Alex!

Thanks for your kind help. I corrected the typo, it doesn't work ...

Hi Alex!

Thanks for your kind help. After correcting the typo "as.Counts" it is still not working. The vote button doesn't change the counter.  (I am logged in)

AND

when I put the field "votes.asCount" inside tableview, the vote button is gone.

Hey Alex!

Thanks again for your support!. After you sharing the screencast with my code on your confluence environment and me trying the same on my company confluence setup, I conclude it can onle be some sysadmin setup that prevents me to use the confiform voting control. 

I corrected what you suggested, and use exactly the same macros in the order you suggested in the video, AND it doesn't work...
