    Hi,
    I think it would be an advantage for many users to create a voting system as a photo contest.
    For example, you could enable a voting system for the photos in an album and photos with the most votes win the contest
    Settings: Duration uploads (start-end) - Duration voting (start-end) - Ranking in order of votes
    Example:
    An administrator creates a category called Contest and in this category creates an album called "First contest" and in backend set "First contest" album as contest album (voting system)
    After the album is created, users can send photos until the end of the period set by admin.
    Admin starts voting and users can vote photo uploaded. At the end of the voting period you will have the final ranking.
    Sorry for my bad english, I hope I was understandable
    Antonio

    Hello Antonio,

    I do understand what you are expecting.

    Just to classify, I do have some questions:
    - Do you think that Like system is acting as Vote? If they like it means that they want to vote for that photo/album?
    - Category has privacy setting allow you to set who can post to it, so you could allow users to post to that Category and ignore after the contest is finished?

    Hi :)
    Yes, like system is acting as vote ( 1 like=1 vote), but user in contest album can vote/like only 1 photo ( vote is only for photo, not for album)
    Category permission/privacy is perfect :)

    Location problem would be addressed in the next update. This require you to have an API key for Google Maps. Currently we have been limited because maximum allowed queries for this month was exceeded. By allow administrators to enable their own API key, they could by more queries times from Google if they want.

    Hello,
    I am interested by this product only because I was under the impression this has been already implemented… :D

    I'd really like an integrated photo contest also it not only would be fun but it could help get more members and generate content.

    I would like to create a photo competition in two ways such as:

    Upload your best "chicken" image - start date / end date - voting starts /voting ends - winner announced.

    Or
    ​
    Anyone who uses our gallery feature and uploads an image between this start date and this end date will be chosen at random to win.

    Any chance something like this could happen?

    Any rough estimate when the next major release might be with this feature included?

    What sort of ideas or parameters do you have in mind on how it will work?

    I need this too and am holding back on buying another add-on as I have seen you say about this for some time..
    But looking back we're talking from 2013 onwards.

    Are you still heading for end of June Sonnb?
    If not please let me know and I will buy this add-on I have seen that I really need.

    Thank you! Hope all's well :)
