Hi. Your site is great. Could I somehow restrict who can rate, like with TypeKey or a member script?

Hey there I set everything up like you said above and now I get this error when submitting a rating:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/www/htdocs/1daland.net/morsmordre/addrating.php on line 7

I just changed my DBname, PW and DBUsername…can you tell me what could be wrong?

I also posted these suggesttions on Etan site, but I wanted to make sure everyone see them. I see a lot of potential for this.

Here are two enhancement suggestions for future versions:

1) In addition to IP banning, it would be great to enforce a “one rating per IP address” rule to (automatically) prevent people from rating more than once on a particular entry.

2) Rating comments. In addition to rating entries, it would be great if people could rate the comments themselves. Essentially each comment could be rated individually. Then you could implement a filter thats only shows comments “greater than -2”, etc. Of course this will be even more useful once MT supports vistor registrations, then you could calculate a comment “score” for each person (similar to the “monthly comment count” on this site).
