Re: How to accept reviews (stars and comments)?
I’ve made some quick mods to peg_nested_comments to allow reviews. There are no fancy stars for the moments, but it will be easy(?) to implement once the functionality is approved. The current features include:
- one review per IP address
- average ratings (per article, section and so on)
- best/worst rated
Planned (if needed):
- quintiles (59% liked this…)
- most active reviewers and other statistics
- review restriction abstraction (by ip, cookies, auth, …)
The code is ever-changing and not yet released, but, since there is only one review per IP, I need your help in testing. :)

I’ve just tried it out.
When I clicked on the Preview button, my rating was cleared and I had to click the radio button again before clicking on the submit button to successfully leave a review.
Hence my two comments, but only one review. ;-)
You probably want to change that as most people probably won’t notice that their rating gets cleared when they click on Preview.
Edit: Just tried it again to see if it allowed me to leave a second rating and found that my new rating was accepted but my old one disappeared. I wasn’t expecting that and there was no warning that that was what was going to happen.

Re: How to accept reviews (stars and comments)?
It accepted my (first) comment, but didn’t accept my voting. It also keeps me now from commenting other peoples comments. I’d expect it keeps me only from voting the article, not from commenting. A can of worms … sorry.

Re: How to accept reviews (stars and comments)?
Thank you for testing, your remarks are taken in account now. But the questions stay:
- should comment replies be accepted as reviews?
- should reviews be revisable?

Fantastic Oleg, I’ll have to try it out.
> should comment replies be accepted as reviews?
No (comment replies can be helpful in their own right)
> should reviews be revisable?
Not necessary for what I’m doing, though perhaps others would like it, especially if comment replies provide more information that may lead the original reviewer to revise their review.

I am really looking forward to trying this out – thanks for all your work, Oleg.
