override voting and microdata

Question

Hi,

How can I override votes, I would like to increase vote numbers and also the microdata.

in format.php I can override microdata however I want to override this with plugin for future updates.

if ($microdata) {

$fields['netvotes_view']['suffix'] .= ' <meta itemprop="upvoteCount" content="' . qa_html($upvotes - $downvotes+5) . '"/>';

$fields['upvotes_view']['suffix'] .= ' <meta itemprop="upvoteCount" content="' . qa_html($upvotes+5) . '"/>';

}

The function you modified is overridable because it contains this line of code

if (qa_to_override(__FUNCTION__)) { $args=func_get_args(); return qa_call_override(__FUNCTION__, $args); }

So you will create an OVERRIDE plugin https://docs.question2answer.org/plugins/overrides/

And you simply copy the whole modified function in the override file.

Since your modification only changes the value of an array key. Try overriding public function vote_count($post) in your theme to see if it works.
