Create Vote button for posts

I am trying to create a custom blog post for single item. I've just relized that we've already have a data call Votes Count and we can easily add it to the front-end by following code:

______________________________________

<sitefinity:TextField ID="TextField1" runat="server" DisplayMode="Read" Value='<%# Eval("VotesCount") %>'>
                    </sitefinity:TextField>

______________________________________

 

The question is how can i create a vote button to make this data increase. Is there any built-in widgets for this feature or do i have to create a custom widget by myself?

Hi,

Thanks for evaluating Sitefinity.

This functionality is depreciated as we introduced the comments module with rating a few versions ago which replaced the votescount and votessum fields. The new comments module can handle ratings and comments for any content type.

The new comments module allows you to enable the user rating which then calculates the popularity value for you. To enable the rating review the documentation here: docs.sitefinity.com/administration-enable-comments-and-ratings

I hope this helps
