This module is based off a version created by
http://boedesign.com/2008/02/18/ajax-star-rating/ (http://boedesign.com/2008/02/18/ajax-star-rating/)
Which is based off a version created by
http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2007/01/css-star-rating-redux/ (http://www.komodomedia.com/blog/2007/01/css-star-rating-redux/)
Just remember that you need to add the following
within your header of the template index.php your using or it won't work...
<?php
// automatically include optional WB module files (frontend.css, frontend.js)
if (function_exists('register_frontend_modfiles')) {
register_frontend_modfiles('css');
register_frontend_modfiles('js');
} ?>
Example on how it should look in your template
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php
echo defined('DEFAULT_CHARSET') ? DEFAULT_CHARSET : 'utf-8'; ?>" />
<meta name="description" content="<?php page_description(); ?>" />
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php page_keywords(); ?>" />
<?php
// automatically include optional WB module files (frontend.css, frontend.js)
if (function_exists('register_frontend_modfiles')) {
register_frontend_modfiles('css');
register_frontend_modfiles('js');
} ?>

great work !
can i somehow let people rate the posts of a (news)page separately, instead of only a bunch of questions at the end of the page ? i tried creating a whole bunch of different sections (News - Ajax - news - ajax - news - ajax) but the second Ajax rating doesnt show - plus, the News sections after the not showing ajax sections don't show either :/
Hi. Can I still find the zip from somewhere?
Hi,
don´t know if this is the latest version, but maybe you give it a try.

Ok, i'll try that.
Another thing: I was thinking to add rating for news items, kind of like jackielein posted in this thread.
I want to have both commenting and rating of news items on my site. Any suggestions?
There a plans to integrate a rating function into the topics-module.
But: Topics is still beta and is not that easy to use like "news". And still mostly german.
Any other ideas? I would like to use News module with rating system
i have made a rating snippet which you can call with a droplet in all modules. have a look to my german site
http://www.WebsiteBaker.net/pages/labor/colorrating.php
i think its to night ready for download, stay tuned :-D
download and tutorial online on my site
http://www.WebsiteBaker.net/pages/topics/colorrating-als-modul.php
englsih is not my language but i will try to explane a little bit
download the modul
install from backend
add the droplet code
call the droplet with
[[ColorRating?table=your own unique tablename]]
enjoy :-D
Oh my! Thanks! I installed it, and it seems to be working. I'll play around with it and post comments if something comes up.
I was planning to make "Top rated"-page, where visitors could see posts in order depending on the average rating.
Something to do in the future maybe?
Another thing: When adding news, I always need to put unique table name? So in the first post I inserted
[[ColorRating?table=rate1]] and second: [[ColorRating?table=rate2]] Is this the right way?
Would it be possible to add Rating Droplet in News settings-page, so that table name would increase by one for every post? This way rating would always come automatically to every post.
QuoteWould it be possible to add Rating Droplet in News settings-page, so that table name would increase by one for every post? This way rating would always come automatically to every post.
Could this be somehow done with post_id? But how to call the post_id?
Another thing: When opening new rating, would it be better/possible to add new row to table instead of making new table?
I'm back again with this project. Any ideas for making a top-rated-list? Also, I would love to show average value for every rating.
If anyone is interested, I'm calling this droplet in the news settings (Post Header:) like these:
[[ColorRating?table= [PUBLISHED_DATE]_[PUBLISHED_TIME]]]
