Fehlerbeschreibung und Nachricht
A question I received from a user: when in a contest two (or more) pictures have the same rating what will the next information been taken in order to make a ranking? Will it be the number of voters, the timestamp of the picture being uploaded or something else? Am I right that the overall rating is rounded to the second decimal place? Will the precise overall rating been taken for the ranking or the rounded one?

As only the rounded value is stored, this. As option when the values are the same the image_id (equivalent to time but unique) is chosen: https://github.com/nickvergessen/phpbb- ... st.php#L71

Thanks. If I do understand the code right the second value taken into consideration are the total points an image has received, isn't it? I.e. the picture with the higher number of voters wins if the average of points is the same on both pictures.

Code: Select all

case self::MODE_AVERAGE:
   return 'image_rate_avg DESC, image_rate_points DESC, image_id ASC';
