Until the final IE8 is released I don’t intend to waste my time solving another collection of bugs and quirks from Microsoft.

This is not directly a plugin problem. Main plugin’s CSS file is returning 404 error because of the invalid settings with your hosting. This is not a regular CSS, but a PHP file that needs to be executed to generate CSS. You must have changed something with the hosting settings or access rights to cause this.

Hi MillaN, I’ve been using your star rating plugin for a long time. It’s really a great plugin, thanks! But just recently, a few days after upgraded to ver. 1.1.4, I found the star sets stopped to show up, only the rating text is there. I used automatic insert and tried manual insert both didn’t work. Even tried reintalling the plugin but no luck. Would appreciate it if you could help me take a look into this. You can access my site by clicking on my name. Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Problem solved.

The gd-star-rating folder did exist but whit Apache owner. I reset the owner and created the cache folder, and there is no more errors.

I think the same of you, it has to be a problem whit PHP4.

Thanks again.

You need to rescan from Tools panel so the plugin can find new sets.

I’ve updated automatically via wordpress. It really fixed singular/plural use of word vote. But the new star set didn’t appeared. Anyway, thanks a lot for the new version.

Strange. Code added in 1.1.3 should be able to detect safe mode. Maybe there is some problem with PHP4. Anyway, in wp-content create gd-star-rating, and in it create cache folder.

Hello! Thanks a lot for this great plug-in.

I just actualized to version 1.1.4 and I have PHP: 4.4.8 plus mySQL: 4.0.25-standard.

I want to know the names of the cache folder (to create then manually) because I get 4 of this: “Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.”
And 2 of this: “Warning: copy() [function.copy]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect.”

Thanks again.

Check out the article tonight, and you will see that it’s very easy to style it using CSS. After all, this is the best way to do it. If you change plugin code, what will you do when next version is released, and rating block is changed?

Rating code can be outside comment_text(), you need to add manual call for it. As always, check the user guide for this functions.

Sorry, i’m sleepy. GD code is within comment_text(), so i need to style a lot. Can i call rating block outside comment_text()?

Styling with CSS is much harder than using the div closing (much much harder…) but i’ll try.

PHP modifications are lite, only texts and stuff

Thanks.

First of all, don’t change php code that generates rating block! Same code is used for different things, and changing that will most likley brake something.

Styling of the rating block can be done without any change to existing code. Not to go into much details here, but later tonight I will post a tutorial describing the process of CSS customization.

Hello there =).

Very good work. I’m trying to use this plugin to show raters, but i need to close a div before the rating code to stylish it. I have tried editing $rater in gd-star-render.php, but it doesn’t allow me to write ” in the begining, it doesn’t write it.
I have tried with ”, ”, but i cannot put a closing tag before an opening tag.

Any ideas?
