And, in a short while after previous major version, plugin has reached 1.3.0. Few new tools have been added, many more bugs are fixed and I have made many improvements to the code along with expansions to the t2 templates system.
T2 system is now very stable and will be used soon in another plugin (announcement here).
Fixes
There are a lot of bugs fixed in this release. Many of them were minor, but bug is a bug. Many small CSS problems were fixed for both active rating and rendered static stars. I have fixed few bugs in the rating widget preventing multi review restirctions, invalid sorting of posts and few other things. Several more bugs in templates and multi systems are fixed. Tinymce plugin javascript also had several small bugs and that’s all fixed.
T2
Templates system is now completed. There will be some expansions for certain template types, but all the major features and code are completed. For this plugin release I have added few additional templates and several new tags for some templates types. Now is possible to import and export own t2 templates.
Other Changes
I have removed use of json_encode function. It was used at one place only, and I replaced that will custom function. I have optimized some parts of the code used for multi ratings, statis stars rendering and few more things.
Previous post has a list of all planned features for next two months, and as you can see there are a lot of interesting things yet to come. And as always, report all bugs you find.

I liked your plugin. But recently had some problems. I have WordpressMU with Buddypress and russian language. But when I activate GDStarRating 1.3.0 my admin panel won’t show even though front is working just OK.

I haven’t tested the plugin with WPMU, so I can’t tell you what the problem can be. I plan to do that, but I am not sure when exactly.

I get error when I reactive this plugin:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 30720 bytes) in …./wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/code/gd-star-render-t2.php on line 614
Last time, when I updated this plugin and active, I can not see the list of plugins in Admin are. With the older version also.
Should I remove its old database?

This has nothing to do with the plugin. Simple enough, PHP memory limit is set to 32MB, but your blog and all plugin on it require more than that. You can install my GD Press Tools to check how much memory is used, and you can use that plugin to increse memory limit.

Thank you very much. I have added this one to wp_config.php:
@ini_set(‘memory_limit’, ‘64M’);
Now I can able to use my favorite plugin
. Thank you again.

Did you check the settings for the widget? One of default options is to show only posts with 5 votes or more. So if you don’t have any posts with that much votes, than nothing will be displayed.
