Hi,

I'm a bit curious about the function of the database table hikashop_vote_user? All the stored IP's here are from Google (starting with 66.249) without a user_id (0) and I don't see any connection to another table?

Hi,

This table is what is registering the "helpful" / "not helpful" votes on votes.
The column vote_user_id in that table correspond to the vote_id column in the vote table (so that the system know which vote was noted as helpful/not helpful), and the column vote_user_user_id is linked to the user_id of the user column (and in that case it requires the user to be logged in to not be 0).
I would recommend to turn on the "Users must be registered to note other comments" setting in the HikaShop configuration so that anonymous helpful/not helpful votes cannot be done.

Hi,

Thanks for your explanation. The helpfull function was disabled, so I don't understand why there are still so much IP's registered (all Google ip's)?
I enabled it now and changed the setting to "must be registered".
