Hm, it looks like there is a missing settings on the module. I will add them but temporarily, you may edit the file /modules/mod_easydiscuss_most_voted/tmpl/default.php and remove the codes below:

[gist]
<?php if ($params->get('showdate', 1)) { ?>
<div class="m-list__item">
<?php echo JText::sprintf('MOD_EASYDISCUSS_MOST_VOTED_POSTED_ON', ED::date($post->created)->format(ED::config()->get('layout_dateformat'))); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
[/gist]

Hi Mark,

It works. However, the module work incorrectly caused it doesn't sort the post by vote:

I would be great if I can select some specific categories for this module instead of including all posts in the site.

Thanks,

Hey Le Giang,

Hm, i think there are some confusions here. The "Most Voted" module actually displays the most number of votes a post has received. In this case, the first post, "Share us your comments and feedback" has 2 votes as well. One is a positive and the other is a negative.

When rendering the items on the module, it is rendering the amount of votes it has not the total number of votes it receives because not every vote is positive.

Hi,

I'm still confused. The goal of this module is ordering the post by the most number of the post.
So why I have this order?

Btw, Is there any option to allow the positive vote only?

Thanks,
Anh

Currently that was not possible to configure from the module setting, but you can try add following code in this file location and see how it goes?

JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easydiscuss/models/posts.php

// LINE 3226 until 3289

	public function getMostVoted($limit, $options = array())

	{

		$count = isset($limit) ? $limit : 10;



		$includeReplies = isset($options['includeReplies']) ? $options['includeReplies'] : null;



		$db = ED::db();



		$queryExclude = '';

		$excludeCats = ED::getPrivateCategories();



		if (!empty($excludeCats)) {

			$queryExclude .= ' AND a.`category_id` NOT IN (' . implode(',', $excludeCats) . ')';

		}



		// posts

		$query	= 'select a.`isresolve`, a.`id`, a.`user_id`, a.`user_type`, a.`poster_name`, a.`title`, a.`id` as `parent_id`, a.category_id,';

		$query	.= ' (select count(1) from `#__discuss_votes` as b1 where b1.`post_id` = a.`id`) as `VotedCnt`, count( c.id ) as `num_replies`';

		$query	.= ' from `#__discuss_posts` as a ';

		$query	.= ' left join `#__discuss_posts` as c on a.`id` = c.`parent_id`';

		$query	.= ' 	and c.`published` = 1';

		$query	.= ' inner join `#__discuss_votes` as b on a.`id` = b.`post_id`';

		$query	.= ' where a.`parent_id` = 0';

		$query	.= ' and a.`published` = 1';



		if (!empty($excludeCats)) {

			$query .= ' AND a.`category_id` NOT IN (' . implode(',', $excludeCats) . ')';

		}



		$query	.= ' group by a.`id`';



		// union both posts and replies

		$query	.= ' union ';



		// replies

		$query	.= ' select c.`isresolve`, a.`id`, a.`user_id`, a.`user_type`, a.`poster_name`, a.`title`, a.`parent_id`, c.category_id, ';

		$query	.= ' count( b.id ) as `VotedCnt`, 0 as `num_replies`';

		$query	.= ' from `#__discuss_posts` as a';

		$query	.= '   inner join `#__discuss_posts` as c on a.`parent_id` = c.`id`';

		$query	.= '   inner join `#__discuss_votes` as b on a.`id` = b.`post_id`';

		$query	.= ' where a.`published` = 1';

		$query	.= ' and c.`published` = 1';



		if (!empty($excludeCats)) {

			$query .= ' and c.`category_id` NOT IN (' . implode(',', $excludeCats) . ')';

		}



		if (!$includeReplies) {

			$query .= ' and a.`parent_id` = 0';

		}



		$query	.= ' group by a.`id`';



		// ordring

		$query  .= ' order by VotedCnt desc';



		if ($count > 0)

			$query  .= ' limit ' . $count ;



		$db->setQuery($query);

		$posts = $db->loadObjectList();



		return $posts;

	}

Replace with :

	public function getMostVoted($limit, $options = array())

	{

		$count = isset($limit) ? $limit : 10;



		$includeReplies = isset($options['includeReplies']) ? $options['includeReplies'] : null;



		$db = ED::db();



		$queryExclude = '';

		$excludeCats = ED::getPrivateCategories();



		if (!empty($excludeCats)) {

			$queryExclude .= ' AND a.`category_id` NOT IN (' . implode(',', $excludeCats) . ')';

		}



		// posts

		$query	= 'select a.`isresolve`, a.`id`, a.`user_id`, a.`user_type`, a.`poster_name`, a.`title`, a.`id` as `parent_id`, a.category_id,';

		$query	.= ' a.`sum_totalvote` as `VotedCnt`, count( c.id ) as `num_replies`';

		$query	.= ' from `#__discuss_posts` as a ';

		$query	.= ' left join `#__discuss_posts` as c on a.`id` = c.`parent_id`';

		$query	.= ' 	and c.`published` = 1';

		$query	.= ' inner join `#__discuss_votes` as b on a.`id` = b.`post_id`';

		$query	.= ' where a.`parent_id` = 0';

		$query	.= ' and a.`published` = 1';



		if (!empty($excludeCats)) {

			$query .= ' AND a.`category_id` NOT IN (' . implode(',', $excludeCats) . ')';

		}



		$query	.= ' group by a.`id`';



		// union both posts and replies

		$query	.= ' union ';



		// replies

		$query	.= ' select c.`isresolve`, a.`id`, a.`user_id`, a.`user_type`, a.`poster_name`, a.`title`, a.`parent_id`, c.category_id, ';

		$query	.= ' a.`sum_totalvote` as `VotedCnt`, 0 as `num_replies`';

		$query	.= ' from `#__discuss_posts` as a';

		$query	.= '   inner join `#__discuss_posts` as c on a.`parent_id` = c.`id`';

		$query	.= '   inner join `#__discuss_votes` as b on a.`id` = b.`post_id`';

		$query	.= ' where a.`published` = 1';

		$query	.= ' and c.`published` = 1';



		if (!empty($excludeCats)) {

			$query .= ' and c.`category_id` NOT IN (' . implode(',', $excludeCats) . ')';

		}



		if (!$includeReplies) {

			$query .= ' and a.`parent_id` = 0';

		}



		$query	.= ' group by a.`id`';



		// ordring

		$query  .= ' order by VotedCnt desc';



		if ($count > 0)

			$query  .= ' limit ' . $count ;



		$db->setQuery($query);

		$posts = $db->loadObjectList();



		return $posts;

	}

It seems work correctly except I cannot specify the categories of the posts which will include in the module. Hope that you will fix and improve this module later.

perhaps you can request this feature into our forum here https://stackideas.com/forums/easydiscuss/feature-requests we will see if there a lot of user also requested this, we will definitely consider add this in the future.
