Vote article based on userID and not the IP was created by deck1187hw

Sometimes you are dealing with a website in wich People access from a unique IP for example an internal Portal or a Internal Social Network.

Yo won't vote an article already voted by another user because both are using the same IP Adress.
To prevent that and allow users to vote according to the userID.

Edit this file:
components/com_flexicontent/controller.php
Change the line (433):

Code:

$currip = ( phpversion() <= '4.2.1' ? @getenv( 'REMOTE_ADDR' ) : $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] );

to:

Code:

$currip = $user->id;

And don't forget to do a backup.

This method of vote doesn' t allow to give an "unique vote" to each article, it means that if you vote, and then another user vote the same article, you could vote again for this article, It' s just for preventing multiple votes at once.
