There were several bugs reported in the last 6-7 days, and they are all fixed in this version. So, this is bug fixing release, nothing new is added. Other projects occupied my time, so I had no time to add new things to GD Star Rating.
Some minor problems with T2 templates panel, saving IP’s on the IP ban panel, and few missing redirections for administration panels are fixed. Also, there was a problem with saving multi review for newly created posts. That is now also fixed. In the next 2 weeks I will be very busy, so I am not sure if anything new will be added to the plugin. Bug fixes will still have priorities, so if you found any more of them, please report them.
Again, I would like to remind you about my new website TVScape.NET that opened few days ago. Check the integration and rating results pages added to see what can be done with the GD Star Rating using templates, advanced filters and CSS.

for some reason after i upgraded to 1.6.3, using non-cached pages, a thumbsUp would get stuck in an infinite ajax loop, with the waiting animation playing infinitely. Cached version works fine though. (just that cached version won’t update till wp-cache plugin does its cleanup.)

1.6.3 is almost the same as 1.6.2 with only few bugs fixed, and nothing is changed with thumbs. Anyway, cached plugins use is officially NOT supported, and I can’t fix this bugs until I add support for caching in the GD Star Rating.

ok, narrowed it down. It is wp-supercache that’s causing the problem. If wp-supercache is set to ON, both in wpcache or supercache compression mode, and even if it’s set to “Don’t cache pages for logged in users”, a logged in Admin will still get the infinite swirly.

I am wondering if anyone is able to use multis in comments, and then use that information for the sidebar average rating widget.
This is not a new bug, but I havent been able to do that, just wondering if it is possible.

Multi ratings are only for posts. Even when they are integrated into the comment form, the rating goes to a post not the comment. And using it that way is the same as having them in the post area, it’s the same ratings and work fine in the sidebar widget.

hmm, I thought I covered all the bases, and maybe that was the issue.
I will have to keep looking to see where I might be going wrong.
thanks for the answer.

MillaN,
Not sure where to ‘submit’ this so please let me know if this isn’t the right place.
I get the following ‘error’ in the WordPress dashboard which appears to be related to the gdstar tables.
WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘) order by voted desc limit 0, 5′ at line 1 for query select l.id, l.vote_type, l.voted, l.vote, l.ip, l.user_id, u.display_name, u.user_email from xxxgdsr_votes_log l left join xxxusers u on u.ID = l.user_id where vote_type in () order by voted desc limit 0, 5 made by wp_dashboard, do_meta_boxes, call_user_func, GDStarRating->display_dashboard_widget_latest, include, GDSRDB->filter_latest_votes hhhhhhhhhhh

This is caused by the problem with your settings. This widget has several settings used to filter data for this widget, and you disabled all of them. Next version will have fix to avoid this error.

MillaN,
Can you give me a hint of which settings in the widget you are referring to? (There are many options, as you know)
My intention was to disable all automatic insertion of rendering code. I’m adding it manually in my theme with the provided functions.
Should I just ignore error for now?
Thanks

All options are named properly and divided into tabs. There are many of them, but they are easy to find if you look for them. The once you want are on integration tab. Also, this has nothing to do with insertion of code. Widget displays data found in the database, nothing more.

Thank you for the hint MillaN.
Your plugins are great and I can see a lot of effort has gone into them. The number of options are bewildering and although logically laid out not as easy to understand for a novice.
Maybe I just dense
Thank you again.

After yesterdays updates, when you click on a star rating it attempts to save it but it doesn’t. Everything was working fine before the update.
loading...
Comment Link
I checked your website, and this has nothing to do with rating plugin for two reasons. One is that changes from previous are very minor and all are in the administration, and voting code hasn’t been changed from 1.4.0 versions onwards. Two is that you have so much javascript on the website that some of them are interfering and even the rating is saved ajax response got lost on the way back.

You are right. Thank you for replying. I forgot we added an extra JavaScript this morning to our sidebar. I didn’t even think about it. The star system works great
Thanks for the help

Hi I’m currently using version 1.6.3 of the GD star ratings plugin with 2.8.3 wordpress and Gridalicious theme. http://suprb.com/#gal
The stars are not displaying. I have not changed any of the settings, they are at default. Any ideas why they are not showing?

Hey MillaN. Great plugin!
I went and checked out TVScape.NET and I was very impressed with the way you integrated the GD Star Rating plugin into the site. Especially the part where you give your review as a multi review, then allow users to give an overall review, and then display both your review and the user review in the homepage preview side by side. I’d like to try something similar and was wondering if you could do a brief tutorial on how you set that up? Even if you could post the settings and or code you used that would be great.
Also, would you mind sharing how you integrate the headings and other text into the tables such as “rating” “user rating” “average rating: xx”, etc…? I’ve been trying to add such info to multi reviews and it’s not clear (to me anyway) how to do that. Thanks for any help or info!

Which table use GD rating to calculate the average ? The wp_gdsr_multis_values ?
loading...
Comment Link
It’s not that simple, multi ratings data are in 3 tables.

Comment Link
yes, i see. But it takes values from multis_values to calculate the total average (users + visitors)? Using the other two table it’s impossible calculate the right total average ratio

Hi folks,amazing plug-in, congratulations and thanks. I want to inform that there is some conflict with WordPress 2.8.4. When I active the plugin GD StarRating Version 1.6.3 it mess with my widget page, I don’t get to drag any widget, nor click on screen options, and so on, it mess the widget page. When I desactive this plug-in all goes back to normal at widget page.

Comment Link
Since I and thousands of others use it on WP 2.8.4 without problems, I can assure you that the problem is caused by combination of this and some other plugin. And since I can test with each of the 6000 plugins available I am sorry, but there is not much I can do. I use 2.8.4 on most of my websites now, and there are no problems.

Comment Link
No Worry Millan, thanks for your Reply. I was just reporting and not saying that is this GD plugin fault. A lot of people are having this Widget issue with WP 2.8.4 and some have reported that it is Thesis theme and just updating it solved, other doesn’t have it, my case. Others reported issue with other plugin. Others reported that by editing the .htaccess within WP folder and adding the line AddHandler x-mapp-php5.php would solve. Didn’t work for me. IMHO it’s some code inside the plug-ins (not only GD) that may conflict with WP code. Well, let’s wait the 2.8.5. ;0)

Is it possible to have a thumbs up/down rating with percents, like here: dietsinreview.com/diets/The_50_Million_Pound_Challenge.

Is it possible BOT vote instead humans ? I see some votes are very clear once to other, and i have less traffic.

Comment Link
Plugin checks for BOT’s, and you can edit list of BOT’s recognized on the settings panel. Also, all voting elements have no-follow set, so that BOT’s will avoid them. I don’t know what else can be used to protect against them.
