Re: Mark user as 'already voted' in polls app
Ok, I tried it and it works.
The idea is to put a cookie in the computer of the other person, where
it stocks all the polls it has participated to. That way it does not
depend of the IP.
The code:
def vote(request, poll_id):
p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id)
voted_polls=request.session.get('has_voted_poll',[])
if poll_id in voted_polls:
return render_to_response('sysvortex/polls/poll_results.html', {
'object': p,
'error_message': "You have already voted.",
})
if p.is_open == False :
# Display the poll results.
return render_to_response('sysvortex/polls/poll_results.html', {
'object': p,
'error_message': "The poll is closed.",
})
try:
selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist):
# Redisplay the poll voting form.
return render_to_response('sysvortex/polls/poll_detail.html', {
'object': p,
'error_message': "You didn't select a choice.",
})
else:
selected_choice.votes += 1
selected_choice.save()
request.session['has_voted_poll']=voted_polls+[poll_id]
# Always return an HttpResponseRedirect after successfully dealing
# with POST data. This prevents data from being posted twice if a
# user hits the Back button.
return HttpResponseRedirect('/polls/%s/results/' % p.id)
Any comment and improvement welcomed.
Enjoy,
G

Re: Mark user as 'already voted' in polls app
I'm in the same boat as well, where I'll have logged in users as well as anonymous users, and each user will only be allowed to submit each poll once. I haven't figured out how to handle the anonymous users yet (I'll stay tuned to this thread), but I may be able to suggest a way to handle it in the model. What I did was create an additional model for submitted polls. It has: class SubmittedPoll(models.Model): poll = models.ForeignKey(Poll) user = models.ForeignKey(User) choice = models.ForeignKey(Choice) submit_date = models.DateTimeField() As I said, I still have not been able to handle the anonymous user, so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on a way to do with with sessions/cookies.

Re: Mark user as 'already voted' in polls app
Hi, I am in the same situation actually. Or almost, as I'll have only anonymous users. I though about restricting votes based on IP addresses, but today, with NATs and all, that would be unfair for a lot of people. What I was planning to do is use the session framework. I will have in the sessions each poll the user has answered. Of course, a user could erase the cookies and vote again, but the idea is to avoid accidental voting and the temptation of easy cheating :-) But I am sure there must be a better way.
