The "VOTItaly" Plugin by JOOMItaly is the evolution of the default Joomla! voting/rating system. The plugin is an eye-candy "star rater", which uses AJAX technology to seemlessly process your visitor votes on your articles (content items) without reloading the page. It's probably the coolest way to add voting functionality to your Joomla! website.


UPDATE 27/08/2009: released version 1.2. Some of the major changes:

* The plugin allow now to limit the rating submission to only registered users.
* The plugin can accept periodical rating submissions from registered users (the interval is configurable in the plugin preferences).
* New languages compatibility added (da-DK, el-GR, pt-BR, sv-SE).


UPDATE 06/01/2009: released version 1.1. Some of the major changes:

* The plugin makes now valid XHTML 1.1 content.
* Full customizable content rating description.
* Fixes an Internal Server Error (e500) problems with some servers.
* New languages compatibility added (de-DE, es-ES, fa-IR, nl-NL, pl-PL, ru-RU, zh-CN, zh-TW).
