I am working on GDSR 2.0, and many things will be changed there. But, one of those improvements is now part of this 1.8.x branch. Main javascript file for ratings is now completely rewritten and is no longer loaded as dynamic. Few more changes are part of this release.
Main javascript file is also packed and is very light with 5.4kb. Debug version of this file is also provided. New version is much faster to load and doesn’t require separate PHP thread to generate. GDSR 2.0 will do same thing with CSS file. More code cleanup is done, and I have fixed few more PHP notices and replaced some of the deprecated WordPress function with new ones.

Hi MillaN,
your GD Star rating plugin works really well! thanks ! (as a complete newbe to blogging , rating & statistics…) besides checking on the ratings (which is only a few per post) I use your plugin also to check quickly how many people have red a new post;-))
I was wondering if is there a way to sort the posts based on number of “views” ? this makes it easier to identify which posts are “hot”..
It would be also great to list the “delta”number of views , say since yesterday or last 7 days ?
thanks,
Best regards
Henk

Hi there,
I have a little problem with GD Star Rating 1.8.1. When plugin is activated, I can’t
add/edit post, pages and so on. Any hints?
Thank you

Upgrade to 1.8.3. There were some reports of similar sort for 1.8.1, but 1.8.2 fixed all that.

Thanks for reply.
I just have upgrade it, but still don’t work… I don’t find information about upgrading, so I have overwrited the plugin with new one.

I recently upgraded to 1.8.3 from 1.8.2. I have custom image thumbs. After the upgrade I noticed the images are not grayed out after voting.
Possible bug? Was that feature removed? I’d be more than happy to discuss further if this requires paid support.
Thanks
JM

Nothing is changed that can cause that.

What would it cost to get you, or your team, to figure out and fix the problem?

I am 99.9% sure that there is no problem. Error you get point to the invalidly used template for a rendering function.

I’m sorry, was that reply for me? I’m not getting an error. My graphics are no longer graying out after they are clicked.

Comment Link
Sorry, I clicked on wrong reply. At this moment I consider a bug something that can be reproduced and is confirmed by several users. In many cases problems are caused by theme and other plugins or combination of two. And I simply don’t have time to track down bugs caused by other peoples code that is written badly with disregard of other plugins.
I am deep into development of 2.0 and most of things are rewritten to avoid such problems, but even then I can’t guarantee that in some cases same thing will happen.

How to display top rated post list?

I recently installed 1.8.3 on website that I’m developing. For some reason, possibly a cache issue, I cannot change my settings (i.e. unselected auto thumbs in post and comments) in the settings panel. It reverts back to the original settings.

Read the requirements. You need PHP5.
loading...
Comment Link
Thanks, I had just done an auto update in wordpress. I’m assuming that 1.8.2 doesn’t require PHP5, because I didn’t have this issue before.
loading...
Comment Link
Since 1.7 PHP5 is required. But that’s not entirely true. Problem with PHP4 is in several obscure settings in it’s core, and in many cases plugin works with PHP4.

Millan, great plugin it is amazing! I have one question for you if you don’ t mind. I’ve been playing around with the Standard Ratings Results [SRR] T2 Template to list the top rated posts on my blog. All my blog posts are 1-2 liners, so I want it to basically list the blog posts themselves instead of titles or links. I solved that by just making excerpt size pretty big so it ends up listing the whole thing and that works. My question to you is, how can I still allow my users to rate for posts from that page? I styled the page that lists the top rated posts to look like my homepage, but it lacks the rating buttons. And IF I was able to add the rating block code into that loop in the template, will the ratings be added to that original post (and each set of thumbs correspond to their respective post), or will it just end up rating that results page?
Actually one more question quick one, any way to make the excerpt code on that page keep line breaks intact so it doesn’t just mush everything together into one paragraph?
Thanks again for everything! If you want to see the site for more detail just shoot me a quick email and I can show you.

Well, you can do it by using custom filters and actions and adding actual rating code where you need it. Same goes for formating, it can be changed using filters plugin executes. But, all that is not that easy to do, and requires solid knowledge of PHP and how WordPress works.
loading...
Comment Link
Where in the menu would I go about finding the custom filters and actions? Also I’ve searched everywhere for finding the raw php code that goes into the button, but the only place I can find it is the source…and that wont work obviously. wp_gdsr_render_article() doesn’t work either. My archive page also won’t show the thumbrating block like I’ve selected in the options, so I tried used wp_gdsr_render_article() there too, but won’t work. So looks like my last resort is to find the raw php like you mention. Can you point me in the right direction please? Thank you again

I basically want to change some of the ratings on my posts, inflate them a little bit if you will, change the rating values on certain posts to be higher than they really are. I thought that the best way would be to export the ratings to a CSV, edit that, and then reimport, but I’m not sure how the reimport function works with your own export file. What would you say is the best way to manually change ratings? If I could find the table that the plugin makes on the server I would suggest I try there, but I can’t find which file it is, could you shed some light on this? Thanks!

Hi i have the same problem as Ricardo using wordpress 2.9.2 theme Styleicious 1.11 and when you click the stars it doesnt submit but with default theme works. Anyone may know a possible solution?
loading...
Comment Link
Best would be for theme authors to try to write the themes according to WordPress specifications, and many don’t do that. I had a chance to see Thesis theme recently helping a friend set it up, and we found numerous things coded badly. If something works with default theme, it will work with every good coded theme. In many instances themes forcibly remove loading of jQuery or things like that, and without it GD Star Rating can’t work. Maybe problem with theme you use is something else.

i Milan,
i am having issue with the GD star rating, since my site is using https when the page loads in IE it gives a security message that there are some non secure items in it.
If i check the info
PDRTJS_settings_1515131_comm_10 = {
“id” : “1515131″,
“unique_id” : “wp-comment-10″,
“title” : “another+gd+star+test+-+can+I+rate+my+own+comment%3F…”,
“item_id” : “_comm_10″,
“permalink” : “https%3A%2F%2Fmytestsite.com%2F%3Fp%3D7%23comment-10″

please advise
