At Top100Arena, we want to do everything to help our game members. So we created a simple way for you to check if someone has voted or not.
We have provided two ways of doing it, incentive postback and IP checking.
How does incentive postback work?
When users come in to vote, you can append their ID to the voting page using the incentive GET variable:
e.g. http://mmorpg.top100arena.com/in.asp?id=xxx&incentive=1000
Fill out the Incentive URL field with the EXACT URL you want your user ID posted to.
e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/votingpage.php?postback=
You can do this when editing your site, just log in to access it
You can do this when editing your site, just log in to access it
e.g. http://www.yoursite.com/votingpage.php?postback=1000
This will happen at the exact time that the user votes
This would be the contents of /votingpage.php in the above example
<?php
//////// Example Post-Back Script for Top 100 Arena
// include database connection here
// this is the variable we pass back to you that
// contains the value you passed to us with the vote link
$user = mysql_escape_string($_POST['postback']);
// check if the user has voted
$check_voted = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT vote FROM users WHERE username = '$user'"));
if ($check_voted[0] == 0) { // if they haven't voted
// credit the user for voting, like giving +100 money as in the example
mysql_query("UPDATE users SET money = money + 100, vote = '1' WHERE username = '$user'");
}
?>
Please Contact Us if you have any questions about your account.
We also provide a facility for you to check if a certain IP has voted.
Just query this page:
http://www.top100arena.com/check_ip.asp?id=YourSiteID&ip=UsersIP
Replace YourSiteID with the ID assigned to your website, and UsersIP with the user's IP.
The page will return 0 if the user has not voted today, and 1 if they have.
