Package: qhonuskan-votes
Easy to use reddit like voting system for django models.FeaturesDoes not use GenericForeignKeys (which irritates me when making queries)
Has vote_buttons_for templatetag, that generates html code for your object
for vote buttons.Has, default_buttons.css which gives a shape your buttons as default, but
you can override.Has, voting_script template tag, it generates javascript code to make
ajax requests for voting. Automatically finds qhonuskan_votes views.voting_script tag also renders overridable show_not_authenticated_error
function, so you can use your own error windows (jquery-ui etc.) via
overriding it.Default buttons are pure css, there is no images. So it’s lite.What’s new?version 0.2Definedget_versionmethod to get project version in your code.Lettuce tests are added for testing voting system.Changedvoteview name asqhonuskan_vote. Prefix is required for
minimizing view name conflicts.Moved templates totemplates/qhonuskandirectory.Minimum Django version that we supported is 1.3.Quick Implementation GuideAdd qhonuskan_votes to your INSTALLED_APPS.INSTALLED_APPS = ('...',
