The Road Behind
Exactly a year ago (give or take a week) I started working on a ’simple’ rating plugin for a friends blog. And now that the GD Star Rating 1.5.0 is a week away, here is the road from that simple idea to one of the most advanced plugins available.
GD Star Rating 1.4.2
This version has one new very, very unique feature called Builder. The reason for adding this builder are countless questions about using simple plugins PHP functions used for integration into theme or other plugins. Interested? Read on.
T2: Templates System
Finally, new templates system that will be used for all GD Star Rating renderings is ready. At this point not all rendering is done using T2, but it will be soon, because it requires a lot of testing and tweaking. At this point standard rating for posts and comments are converted to T2 system. Next will follow all custom function, RSS feed render and multi ratings. All that will be done in the next 2 or 3 releases.
GD Star Rating 1.1.5
This latest version introduces review feature that uses multi ratings. It also features a number of bugs fixed mostly related to multi ratings, and few more important changes. New features are under development still.
How To: Set and use multi ratings
Setting and using multi ratings system is much different than standard ratings used for posts, pages or comments. And since this feature is new, here is the step by step tutorial on how to start using it. So, keep reading…
Multi Ratings
The long list of GD Star Rating features has just been expanded with advanced and long waited multi ratings that will allow you to set post or pages rating that can have more then one rating set. You can create as many multi rating sets as you want and each one can have up to 10 rating elements with different names and weights. Each post can have more than one set at the same time.
