steemrewarding.com - trail voting added

Repository

https://github.com/holgern/steemrewarding

steemrewarding.com is a feature-rich automatic voting tool. It can be used to create voting rules at https://steemrewarding.com, when posting authority was given to the @rewarding account. I created a discord server for all topics regarding steemrewarding.com: discord invitation.

Bug fixes

The following bugs were fixed:

Checks and handling for the app field in post metadata improved
bug with max_pending_payout fixed (integer instead of real in the database)
max votes per week and day fixed (all votes were counted instead of the votes for the voter)

New features

Trail votes added

It is now possible to follow other voters. A new trail vote rule can be created at https://steemrewarding.com/new_trail_rule:

Stored trail vote rules are listed at: https://steemrewarding.com/show_trail_rules.

A trail vote rule must contain a voter to follow. Only one rule can be stored per voter. Creating a new rule for a voter that already exists, will overwrite the old rule for this voter.

Votes that fit to rule will be stored in the votes database (this is done in the stream_blocks.py script). Then, pending votes will be created based on stored trail rules, in the apply_trail_vote_rules.py. From here on, it is not distinguished between a normal pending vote or a trail pending vote. Both are stored in the pending vote database.

The meaning of the parameter is the following:

vote to follow - must not be empty and is the steem account name to follow
enabled - when checked (True) the vote is active
only_main_post - when checked (True), comments will be skipped
vote_weight_treshold [%] - skips votes with lower weight (e.g. when set to 10%, a vote with a weight of 1% is skipped)
vote_weight_scaler [%] - set the vote weight percentage in comparison to the vote to follow. when set to 100%, the casted vote will have the same vote weight. When set to 50%, the vote weigth is multiplied by 0.5.
vote_weight_offset [%] - is added after applying vote_weight_scaler. When vote_weight_scaler is set to 0%, the vote_weight_offset can be used to set a constant vote weight.
include_authors - when set, only the list of given authors will be voted. The authors must be separated by a comma or a space (e.g. a,b)
exclude_authors - when set, these authors will be skipped. The authors must be separated by a comma or a space (e.g. a,b)
include_tags - when set, only posts which have at least one tag from the list of given tags will be voted. The tags must be separated by a comma or a space (e.g. a,b)
exclude_tags- when set, only posts which do not have at one tag from the list of given tags will be voted. The tags must be separated by a comma or a space (e.g. a,b)
minimum_vote_delay_min [minutes] - vote is delayed when earlier
maximum_vote_delay_min [minutes] - vote is skipped when older
max_votes_per_day - limits the maximum number of votes given through steemrewarding
max_votes_per_week - limits the maximum number of votes given through steemrewarding
min_vp [%] - vote is skipped when vote power is below
vp_scaler- When greater than 0, it can be used to adapt the vote weight to the vote power. When set to 1, the vote weight is equal to the vote power ( vote weight = 100 - ((100-vp) *vp_scaler)).
exclude_declined_payout - When checked (True), a post/comment with declined payout is skipped
max_net_votes - when greater than -1, a post/comment is skipped when more than max_net_votes voters already have voted.
max_pending_payout - When greater than -1, a post/comment is skipped when the pending payout is greater than max_pending_payout

Refactoring

A login decorator function was added to the flask app:

def login(func):
    @wraps(func)
    def check_access_token(*args, **kwargs):
        access_token = request.args.get("access_token", None)
        if access_token is None and 'access_token' not in session:
            login_url = steemconnect.get_login_url(
                "https://steemrewarding.com/welcome",
            )        
            return render_template('please_login.html', login_url=login_url)
        elif access_token is None:
            access_token = session['access_token']
        else:
            session['access_token'] = access_token
        try:
          
            steemconnect.set_access_token(access_token)
            name = steemconnect.me()["name"]
        except:
            login_url = steemconnect.get_login_url(
                "https://steemrewarding.com/welcome",
            )        
            return render_template('please_login.html', login_url=login_url)        
        return func(*args, **kwargs)
    return check_access_token

By adding this decorator, all functions could be reduced. @login decorater assure that a valid token is stored in the session variable.

@app.route('/')
@login
def main():
    name = steemconnect.me()["name"]
    return render_template('welcome.html', user=name, rewardingversion=rewardingversion)

Hello!

I am a community manager at Snax. We are trying to make public blockchain based on EOS node. Snax chain will provide transactions over social networks, token supply based on user social influence.

Snax as well as Steemit rewards its users for the content created, but Snax works as overlay solution over existing social networks (e.g. Twitter)

We have no ICO. We already have a testnet, mainnet will be launched this month, and we currently looking for great candidates for Block Producers like yourself. You can find out more about us at our website snax.one

If our project is interesting for you, please let me know by emailing me at [email protected]

Looking forward to hearing from you, and keep rocking this world!

Good to see the bug being fixed which i had reported and now all seem working very well to me. I was thinking about this feature but you have already implemented it. Indeed a needy and useful feature, mostly for communities.
