Extension talk:Rating

This extension doesn't work, or the instructions are bad ?
 * Hello I am the author of this extension, what exactly was the problem you encountered? What's your MediaWiki version? Did you sign up for a key at ReCaptcha.org? Did you initialize the database by adding the tables? --Sanford.poon 03:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

The vision is 1.9.3.I didn't sign up for a key at recaptcha.org. when I finished all steps,my wiki couldn't work at all. it printed as:parse error syntax error unexpected T_REQUIRE_ONCE iN.....
 * I have fixed a small bug in installation without recaptcha and repacked the extension in gzipped tar. Please download version 1.0.1 from here and try again. I have set up also a version 1.9.3 test platform in here (version) --Sanford.poon 02:29, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Performance Problem
echo "\n";

$sql = 'insert into poll_message (poll_id,poll_user,poll_msg) select poll_info.poll_id,\' AUTO \',\'DEL\' from poll_info, (select poll_title,min(poll_date),max(poll_date) poll_datemaxi	from poll_info       group by poll_title) title where poll_info.poll_title = title.poll_title and TIME_TO_SEC(title.poll_datemaxi)-TIME_TO_SEC(poll_info.poll_date)>2'; $result = mysql_query($sql); $err = $err.mysql_error; echo "\n";

This part of code slow down the proccess dramatically when number of ratings increases. For 3000 polls this takes 10 and more seconds.


 * This is the PURIFY code from Eric David's Poll extension. I do not see a reason to keep it. As a workaround I suggest changing the line

if ($total == 0 || $lines[1] == "PURIFY") // Purify the poll_info table
 * to

if ($lines[1] == "PURIFY") // Purify the poll_info table
 * while I completely rewrite the statistics (poll_info) part of the extension. I will release a new version 1.0.2.2 later today with this workaround.
