I was working on a customization project recently, and few things were missing in the plugin for comment integration for better control. So, this release features few improvements for the integration. Also, T2 system is reorganized and updated.
If you use threaded comments introduced in WP 2.7, and comment integration, even with replies rating blocks will be displayed. And in many cases you don’t wanna do that. So, there is a new option on the settings page for this that can hide rating block(s) Â when the comment is in reply mode. Since WordPress developers didn’t left too much to work with in the new comments system, this was very tricky to do, and I hope that this will work fine. If you find some problems, post a comment here.
Also, I have added 6 javascript functions to get the status of the rating blocks integrated into the comment, so you can check their status before submitting form. I couldn’t do anything directly to the forms, because they can be different from theme to theme, and you must write your own handling using these new functions.
Next two releases should have categories management completed.

[starreviewmulti id=1 tpl=35]
What function do I need to call to render the same as this shortcode? I have tried:
wp_gdsr_show_multi_review(1,35);
but it doesn’t use the correct template. The shortcode used the template #35. I need to put this in a page template before the post and some custom fields and I can’t get the right one to show.
Can you PLEASE answer this. Its driving me nuts. Whats the correct php call needed to duplicate the output of the shortcode above?

Hi, I use GD Star Rating and I must give you thanks for this incredible plugin and thanks for your good work.
Recently I found an error when you change “Vote Rules” at Articles list. This is the message:
WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry '340' for key 1]
INSERT INTO wp_gdsr_data_article (post_id, rules_articles, rules_comments, moderate_articles,(…)
But it changes correctly the rule.

I’m using v1.4.2, and I noticed that the 200K gdsr.css.php stylesheet is getting loaded on every page view, according to Firebug. Has this been fixed in v1.4.4? It’s 60% of my average total page size with a primed cache.

Nothing to fix, not a bug. I have explained this already. Read the settings tutorials on details how to make this stylesheet smaller. Also, it’s loaded once, and should remain in browser cache.

Thanks for the tip on the stylesheet’s size.
However, I can’t confirm stylesheet caching using Firefox 3.0.10. For example, looking at the 77KB gdsr.css.php file for your site here:
http://www.gdstarrating.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/css/gdsr.css.php?s=a10i10m20k20c05r05%231216202430%231poxygen%231goxygen_gif%231pstarrating%231pstarscape
Firebug’s Net panel shows this file returning a 200 OK response and reloading it from the network on every page reload, instead of returning a 304 Not Modified that directs the browser to load from the cache.
In case you don’t trust Firebug… I can load up something like a static image from your site, hit Ctrl+R all day (304 Not Modified), and not see any spike in my PC’s network traffic. But if I load up that stylesheet and reload it, I see a consistent 77KB traffic spike each time.
I’m guessing that PHP files are expected to be dynamic, so they’re served up fresh every time and the browser is instructed not to cache them. This has the unfortunate side effect of leaving your plugin’s dynamic stylesheet uncached.

I will check why the file is returning 200 every time. Maybe the code I wrotte to set cache is making some problem.

You were absolutely right. Apache handles dynamic files differently, and some browsers don’t cache this files. I have added new caching mechanism that uses last modify time and etag, and I also track if the changes to CSS are made at all. Now the caching works. Modified files will be on the SVN in the next few hours, and inlcuded in the 1.4.6 next week.

I really like this plug-in, and have been using it for awhile. However, I don’t like the new thumbs up/down. Is it possible to hide them?
Thanks!
