Hi!
I downloaded the poll from:
http://ez.no/download/ez_publish/..._3_stable_releases/3_8/packages#poll
Where can I found settings for the poll? I need to prevent "double-voting". Is there a way to do this? Someone else asked the same question here: http://ez.no/community/forum/inst...ion/poll_how_prevent_duplicate_votes...but no answer
Someone please, give me a hint on how to solve this problem.
I found an answer in a five year old discussion (ez 2.2), where someone suggested changes in a file namned eZvote.php. I have no such file...http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/info/ez_publish_2_2/forum/general/poll_how_are_doublevotes_prohibited
Is there a way to do this in 3.8.0?

Check if your collect.ini.append.php has set:
CollectionUserDataList[poll]=unique
This is set by default in settings/collect.ini perhaps it is override somewhere.

Thanks for your answer.
Yes. It was set to unique...
How does ez check if a user already voted? Is it a cookie? Then maybe it is possible to set an expire date for the cookie.
The problem is if the user close the browser and kills the session. After that the user can come back and vote again. That is what I want to prevent.

The only true way to accomplish that is by only letting logged in users vote.This is not a Exponential only issue, this is a web issue.

OK, i understand. I doesnt have to be "the true way". Normal users do not delete their cookiefiles, and if someone goes through the trouble of doing that I dont care if they vote twice.
Is it possible to use these settings in site.ini to change the time that have to pass before the user can vote again?
SessionTimeout ActivityTimeout CookieTimeout

I changed the setting cookietimeout to 604800 (the number of seconds in a week) in site.ini for the public siteaccess.
It works!
