Comments on: GD Star Rating 1.1.0

Weight was intended to be between value around 1. But I plan to do some sort of normalization of weight values so the overall rating can’t be bigger than maximum stars value assigned to the set.

Ok, thanks!

Another idea: Maybe put stars together with the text “Rating: 8.7/10 (13 votes cast)”? This way we can have the elements’ ratings represented by little stars, and the overall rating represented by bigger stars (calculated after clicking the Submit button).

And a bug (?): I just tested a multi rating. If I vote a maximum number of stars for all the elements, the calculated rating is always 2x the sum of all the weights. For example let’s say we have 3 elements, “Originality”, “Production” and “Special Effects”. We set their weight to 5, 3 and 2. If we vote 10/10 on all three, then the calculated rating is (5+3+2) x 2 = 20

Rating: 20.0/10 (1 vote cast)

Maybe I missed something?

Thanks Milan.

Hi Millan,
Thanks a lot for your answer, this would be so very nice to make it chinese-friendly. I swear i would make a good advertisement for you if you can solve this.
If i can help you, please tell me.
Bye !

Review version of multi ratings will happen, but I have few technical problems when there are more than one multi rating on how to display it, but I am hopeful to find the solution soon.

Good idea on default enabling of multi ratings, I will change that for 1.1.2 version next week.

Hi Milan,

Great work, like always! Is it possible to insert a Multi Rating block as a Review (instead of starreview)? This way the author can insert it when editing the article, and the visitors can’t rate.

And a suggestion: maybe Multi Ratings should be enabled by default?

Thanks for this wonderful plugin.

Well, currently set elements can’t be in chinese. But I can promise you that I will work to solve this, and in the next week or two at the most that will be possible.

Hi Millan,
I guess it’s pretty hard to keep working & answering people like me.
Thanks anyway.
I’ve got a new problem : my website is in chinese.
The multi rating sets don’t work when the different ratings sets are in chinese. With letters it works perfectly but i when i write in chinese, no criterions are saved, the table is saved empty & then i get a message error (the one i told you before :Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/faguohon/www/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/code/gd-star-render.php on line 305).
Is there a solution ? Thanks in advance.

Reviews will have mostly the same templated rendering as the rating. I have started working on new template manager and that will be included there. I am not sure exactly when it will be available but it will be soon.

Milan I tired to explain but it hid the code. Basically for my needs I have to have a way to show “author reviewd this article as /”

Great plugin
Thanks

New version will be available late tonight and will contain fixes to reported bugs and problems. SVN already contains all the fixes.

Can you please explain exactly what you need. Right now review rating doesn’t have rating text as the regular rating does and it doesn’t have template. I am planning to do all this, but I am not sure whn it will be available.

By: MillaN

MillaN — Fri, 06 Feb 2009 08:08:41 +0000

Fix will be available soon. Until then multi ratings will not work for you. In most cases mySQL knows how to solve suh problem on it’s own, but your version doesn’t.

See my response to donnacha comment. I will make additional check to avoid display of this warning.

This is nothing to be voried about. This is used to create cache folder, but obviously your settings for apache and php will not allow this. For now ignore this error it will be visible only on admin pages.

I was so hopeful that you would finally allow the templates to be used on review text. You already have the tags built in. Please help me out I need to use this review template both in the render and also similar to the manual way I use .

I would love a .

Thanks,
Ben

I get the following error on every GD Star Ratings admin settings page:

Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /home/downunde/public_html/hahahaimontheinternet.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/code/gd-star-functions.php on line 84

Previous version worked fine. Just that latest version 1.1.0. I did auto update, then tried manual update. Both show this error.

Please. When used multirating, my page show this:

Erro de banco de dados do WordPress Field ‘review’ doesn’t have a default value para a consulta INSERT INTO wp_gdsr_multis_data (post_id, multi_id) VALUES (2763, 1) feita por require, require_once, include, the_content, apply_filters, call_user_func_array, do_shortcode, preg_replace_callback, do_shortcode_tag, call_user_func, GDStarRating->shortcode_starratingmulti, GDStarRating->render_multi_rating, GDSRDBMulti->get_vote

What can I do? I worked to fix this about 6 hours…

Just to test, I uninstalled 1.1.0 and installed 1.0.9, which works without any problems.
