This looks pretty awesome! I wonder if Alicson has the time to add it to txp.org

Walker · 2008-01-08 04:34:25

I’ll add it as soon as she resets my account there (I already filed a request).

I lost my u/p combo.

well yeah it’ll be great to have it on txp.org, but I meant using it on txp.org. We could use it to rate plugins and provide a most popular section.

Walker · 2008-01-08 06:31:15

ah. I see. that is a nice idea.

Walker, I’ve reset your TXP.org password, check your email ;)

The “js” link on http://walkerhamilton.com/wlk_helpful is broken (typo)

Perhaps for TXP.org a time dependant rating system would be nicer, because new plugins are released that are better than previous plugins. If you’re ranking on vote ratio (positive votes divided by total votes), that would work, but only if people actually vote negatively. I suspect that you’ll see a lot of positive votes and that causes trouble when comparing old with new plugins, because the old once have had more time to gather votes and they did so in a time when there was not as much competition.

this might come in handy, thanks!

@ruud

Thanks for reporting that link. (I misstyped my domain! whoops)

Walker · 2008-01-08 15:06:08

Hey! Ya know what!!? I’m going to offer two different options of computing rating:

Vote ratio
vote positivity minus vote negativity

Ok, added ratio rating as an option (v0.2)

Feed it to the txp:wlk_helpful_ajax tag using which="ratio"

Exactly what was about to suggest…

I have some problems to make it work…
I have only the “Helpful ? Yes No” list showing but nothing happens when I click or reload…
The 6 steps of the install seems to be OK…
Well… I’ll test again later.

Nice to have such a plugin back anyway !
Thank you !

You linked the page to jQuery?
You added the js to your site following jQuery?
You put the wlk_helpful tag in an article form?
You created the wlk_helpful_ajax page & section?
You put ONLY the wlk_helpful_ajax tag in that page?

Then you’re done.

btw, vote positivity minus vote negativity was the default manner I built in. I added ratio after ruud’s thinking.
