Such function exists: wp_gdsr_rating_article(). If you call it without parameters, you need to call it inside the loop. But you can pass post ID as a parameter, and it will return an object with all the data about one post.

Thank you very much for your promt action.

Could you let me know which function in your plugin can return the average rating point (9.5/10) of a post?

Right now this function uses template as the automatic rating does. I plan to expand this to use more then one template, and to support some kind of overrides to allow custom parameters for rendering. Most likely in the next week or so, templates system will be redesigned.

The function wp_gdsr_rating_text_article()returns:
Rating: 9.5/10 (59 vote cast)

Could you tell me where to edit for this function to only returns avarages rating, for example: 9.5/10

Currently no. Vote data received after voting is processed using jQuery, so after that it can be done. But you need to modify javascript code to do it.

Upon voting / clicking on a star, can the plugin immediately redirect you to another site/page/link?

Not right now, but such function will be added. I can’t give you some specific timeframe, but in the next few weeks for sure.

Hey MillAn first of all great plugin! Just a small question i am looking for a snippet of code that is able to tell me either in dashboard or as a widet who the highest rated user from comment ratings only is (in last 7 days).

is this possible

First, read the user guide. If everything seams to work fine, but you can’t vote, maybe only you can’t vote. Default option is that post authors can’t vote for own posts. If you can’t make it work, I need to see it to tell you what the problem is.

Hi Your plugin looks really good! the only thing is i cant seem to get it to actually work,it shows on the front end but it wont let you vote.

If I understand correctly, you need multi ratings, and for each post have 5 rating elements (variables). Right now each post can have only one rating.

I am currently working on multi rating support that will be much better than any other similar system available I have seen. First version of this should be available in the next 7-8 days.

I am trying to apply a rating scale to 25 items (each in a separate blog section. (using the same 5 criteria) and then on a ratings page post all 25 results + top 5. Is this my dream plugin?

I want to create a rating system based on 5 variables ACROSS 20 items. All the ratings are the same, just the name of the RATED item is different. Then I want each item to be able to show its rating. I would love to be able to show a TOP 5 rated to users.

Is this the plugin I have been dreaming about?

There are examples on wp.gdragon.info, there is a user guide, there is tinymce shortcode plugin.

Please read the user guide and check the forum.

Thanx!

If everything goes accoring to plan, 1.1.0 with multi ratings will be released on 2.2.2009.

As for the multicolumn feature, my idea is to allow user to create such complex features by using better templates system. Soon I will have all rendering done through templates, and with new templates manager (in works).

Great plugin! But I am trying to figure out how to have TOP 10 list with avarage ratings for a selected category. This would be sorted in descending order, from highest avarage to lowest avarage.

I was thinking about something like the “Rating” box you have on this site. I can not use Widgets because, my template doesn’t support it. Is there a way to achieve this in the PHP code for example, in sidebar.php.

Hello, MillaN.

Thank you first of all for the greatest wordpress plugin ever.
Holding my breath awaiting for the Multi Ratings be ready.

One thing you could incorporate as an option is a multi-column results display, like I did here: http://gourmet-project.com/rejting-restoranov-odessy/ by a surrounding div with id, and setting [li]s to display: block; float: left; and setting its widths, as well as breaking float after the list.

I think that would be a nice optional feature in the future, where each one can tune the scripts display by turning on the multi-column setting in the admin panel and setting the width of each [li].

Just a thought )
Thank you once more!

WordPress exceprt function stirps all html tags and formating, so adding rating into excerpt will be useless. The only way is to add rating stars rendering call after excerpt function. Check out the userguide for rendering functions.

I need to use “the_excerpt” on the index page instead of “the_contents” and I need the gd star images to show up on both the index page as well as the individual post pages.

i tried adding another filter in gd-star-rating.php
add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, array(&$this, ‘display_article’));

although this displays the gd star images on both the index page as well as the post pages, I get a text string displayed in the excerpts ie “UA:D [1.0.9_379]please waitâ€¦Rating: 0.0/10 (0 vote cast)”

any idea how i can stop that text string from showing up?
thanks

I don’t understand, what code? I have said this who knows how many times, check the user guide first and explain the question better if you can’t find the solution in the guide.
