Hi,
I’ve tried hard and I’ve read the manuals before so I read them again, but it didn’t help me. I still don’t know how to do it. I’ve found this function:

wp_gdsr_show_article_review ( $ post_id = 0,
$ use_default = true,
$ size = 20,
$ style = “oxygen”,
$ echo = true
)
If I paste it somewhere is it going to display the ratings on the post page and on the main page as well?

2. CSS problem. I’ve managed to center the thumb as well as the text under it on the post page here

But by no means I’m unable to eliminate this huge white space between the text. This is the effect of markup when after I had translated T2 template.

Is there any way to bring it to normal?

And next question, is it possible (how?) to display one part of this text over the thumb, and the other under it?

Keep up the good work. This plugin becomes more and more usable and easy to use. I’ve also noticed that you’ve repaired something in the templates so it started to work on my site. Great and thanks.

Cheers,
Tom

Millan, I'm very sorry to bother you with this probably already solved question, but I've yet found no clue to it in yours articles. I've posted about it in bug reports, but it is not solved in the latest plugin update. This template: %RANK_ID%%TITLE%%AUTHOR_NAME%%STARS%%VOTES% is shown well on standard rating results, but shows blank space for %AUTHOR_NAME% when displaying my nulti rating results...

I’ve upgraded to PHP5 and it has resolved the issue. Thanks.

It was the only difference between the old posts that worked and the new ones (2).
I looked at the URL’s in Firebug and did the change. It worked without them.
It could be an implementation thing specific for my system, but I don’t think so. gfx.php is not liking the parameters with quotes I suppose.
Anyway, thanks for a great plugin that I use for sometime now.

I said many times that FAQ contains answers to almost all problems, and that includes your problem. But you need to know how to use Firebug or some similar debug tool. In your case, both main javascript (script.js.php) and css (gdsr.css.php) are not loading. This is happening almost always because of invalid server settings, or invalid access rights (and that is in the FAQ).

I will check this. It’s strange that quotes cause problem.

Since PHP4 support officially ended over a year ago, I can’t understand how hosting companies are still running it. And I don’t have time (or will) to chase some obscure bugs in that old PHP version.

I deactivated it. Thinking I wasn’t going to be able to hire someone to get this working for me.

I used your plugin GD PRESS TOOLS and allocated 64 MB memory. I turned on the ratings plugin and went to the post and selected my multi ratings review i previously created. I see it as set id 1 with the set name and all the options I set up for my multi rating. but I see no way to select what I want each rating to be. There is no star selection showing for me to select anything.

Can I give you access to my admin to check it out?

Had the same problem on the new articles.
The difference was this:
Old tag
[starreviewmulti id=1 tpl=29 element_size=12 average_size=12]
New tag
[starreviewmulti id=1 tpl=29 element_size='12' average_size='12']

The old works the new doesn’t. Get rid of the ‘ on element_size and average_size.
I have no idea why this was working before and now it isn’t. It seems that the gfx.php that returns the stars image does not like the ‘ anymore

I’m currently using 4.4.8

I don’t see that GDSR is active on your website at all. Also, when I first tried to go to the url you provided, I got an error message about memory. You definitively need to increase PHP memory, 32M is not enough for WP 2.8 and newer.

There are integration functions for absolutely everything, and they are all documented in the info file included with plugin.

So far this has been problem with only PHP older than 4.4.9. And it’s a mystery why, because on my test server with PHP4 everything works fine.

Hello!
I’m trying to use this sophisticated and awesome plugin, but with no success.

How to place the stars directly under the header of a post? And make them to be displayed on the main page of wordress and the post page (the same review rating)?

http://img188.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=postpage.jpg

I’ve tried to do that manually and by using subheader plugin from wordpress plugins directory, but it didn’t help.

May you explain how to do it?

Cheers,
Tom

I indicated I looked over the FAQ and can’t sort out this problem. Can you tell me who I can hire to make this work?
