This is mainly bug fixing release beacuse of the few problems caused by the apache/php settings. Problem was with the PHP safe_mode setting. When the safe_mode is on some of the functions can’t be executed. One of the functions affected is mkdir() used to create cache folder. Info is displayed instead of PHP warning so the user knows what to do. All this is happening on settings panel cache tab. So if you have safe_mode on and want to use cache you need to created folders manually.
There was another minor problem with inserting data into multi ratings table on some mySQL servers. This is now fixed. Some minor altering of database tables is also added beacuse some of the fields in new multi rating tables were wrong type. Also, now you can delete existing multi rating sets, but right now you can’t control what’s being deleted, and only definition of the set will be removed, and eventually recorded data not. This will be improved later. Fixed problem with saving multi rating text template.
Next version will be released next week.

Just updated to 1.1.1 and I am getting the same error but on a different line:
Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /home/downunde/public_html/hahahaimontheinternet.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/code/gd-star-functions.php on line 93
Also PHP Safe Mode is “Off” on my server if that’s anything to do do with it.

Well, only case when mkdir() is not allowed (that I know of) is when the safe_mode is on. But the problem could be something else and I will check that also, and fix will be in the next version. For now igoner this warning.

If I download the newest Version (1.1.1) from this site and uplaod it, wordpress shows me the version 1.1.0 anyway. If I download the newest version (1.1.1) from the wordpress plugin directory, the version is right. I think you have uploaded a wrong version on this site.
But i have the same problem as Martin (wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/code/gd-star-functions.php on line 93) now on a different line.
Please Help!

Both versions are 1.1.1, but I forgot to change it here when I made the archive. I have found what the problem is with another mkdir error, and I will have fix in the next version.

I just can’t get your plugin to work. Stars are not showing. I’ve spent a great deal of time figuring it out but with no success.

I have repeated the same things a hunderd times. PLease, read the user guide, read the tutorials about solving problems. You must be doing something wrong or some server or wordpress settings are causing problem. And I can’t tell you whats wrong without seeing your webiste.

Seeing I have the mkdir() error on my GD rating admin pages is it possible to change a couple settings via phpmyadmin?
Under “Posts And Pages” options I want the following two settings changed:
Rating alignment = Center
Rating text placement = Bottom
Cheers Martin.

mkdir error has no impact on any of the features. You can change anything you need via plugin panels.

I think our lines have got crossed somewhere.
Below is a screenshot of the mkdir() error I have been getting in all GD Star Rating admin pages since 1.1.0 onwards. 1.0.9 and below worked fine for me.

Ah, you have extreme case of the problem. There are two solutions. You can get fixed version from SVN, or simply disable the call making the problem. In gd-star-rating.php file find this:
GDSRHelper::create_folders()and replace it with
falseThis will solve the mkdir problem until official release that will be out on tuesday.

Well I got the line 93 error as well, fixed it by using the ‘hard-fix’ you suggested above.
However I keep having some problems, specifically:
My stars do not display: I cannot choose a star-type in the settings, the dropdowns are empty.
The plugin also says: ‘For cache to work, plugin must be able to access cache folder. Plugin has tried to create folders needed and failed. Until you resolved this issue cache feature can’t be used.’
I’ve created this folder manually and given the right permissions. But it keeps giving this error.
I can vote (on invisible stars, but the star ‘title’s’ do popup on hover) but it does not safe my vote!
I’m not sure if the issues are related, but I would love to at least have my stars displayed.

Well, something is definitly wrong. Image set your site tries to use is missing the extension, and also is in the wrong folder. Try to rescan for image sets from Tools panel.

Thanks for the quick reply. Apparantly my isp was messed up for a while, after messing around for a few hours I gave up in dissappointment… When I came back after dinner it suddenly did find the graphics after repeated scanning. Well that’s fixed than.
It still does refuse to safe my votes though, it does put a cookie down which disables me from voting again. But the rating stays at 0/10 just the same.
I’ve manually created a folder named ‘gd-star-rating’ in my ‘wp-content’ folder. Inside this gd-star-rating folder i’ve also created the ‘cache’ folder just to be sure.
Still getting the same ‘For cache to work, plugin must be able to access cache folder. Plugin has tried to create folders needed and failed. Until you resolved this issue cache feature can’t be used.’ error message.
Is this error message the reason my votes do not get registered?
Thanks gain for the awesome respons!

As far as I can see, vote is saved, but it seams that is going to moderation for some reason. You need to enable debug into file and send me debug file so I can check what’s going on with mysql. Check the user guide for debug activation.

After a sleepless night I got it up and running. after upgrading to 1.1.2 and manually creating those folders it now saves votes. Hurray.
Where should I send the cookies? Thanks a lot, as soon as my site starts doing it’s thing I shall drop in to donate.
You are the man.
