Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
Strange – does it happen to you here too?
- Does the page redirect at all? My votes are already recorded, so I couldn’t test the site (I don’t remember it hanging). Could you head to Extensions>jmd_rate and uninstall then install it?
- Is PHP under fast-cgi or installed as an Apache module?

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
Yes, and I’ve just tested using my work PC that has a different version of FireFox (and a different connnection).
To answer your questions…
1. The page seems to load up again after clicking to vote
2. Not quite sure. How can I check this… in txp or on my server?

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
for a review site … would it be possible for the article author to add a star rating, and each commenter to add a star rating… and their personal ratings were displayed beside their name… but also the total user rating was displayed in a sidebox?

- Strange. I’m having a hard time replicating the bug (I’ve experienced it though). Could you post your jmd_rate code from your article form?
- Admin>Diagnostics: High – if you see something like “PHP Server API: cgi” or “mod_fastcgi” anywhere, you’re running fastcgi. The first two versions had a header redirect bug I though I’d solved, at least for my server.

I think it would be, but I haven’t had a chance to work with comments yet. For the article author rating, it could be done with a custom field (“author_rating”) and a small amount of PHP – something like:
<txp:php>
// number of stars
$stars = 5;
// width of stars
$starWidth = 30;
// width of the ul
$ulWidth = ($stars * $starWidth);
// custom field name == author_rating
$authorRating = custom_field(array(
'name' => 'author_rating'
));
$rating = ($stars/$authorRating);
// rating width
$ratingWidth = ($rating * $starWidth);
// HTML output
echo '<ul class="rating" style="width: '. $ulWidth .'px">
<li style="width: '. $ratingWidth .'px" id="current_rating">
'. $rating .'
</li>
</ul>';
</txp:php>OK, so that’s probably enough PHP to be added to the plugin. YAVT: <txp:jmd_rate_author_rating/>

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
love the plugin, i’m looking at using it on a departmental intranet.
however we are all stuck on the same ip and so i get to rate and nobody else is able- does anybody know of a way to hack out the ip checking or a way of allowing the same ip to vote multiple ways.
in a perfect world for my use i’d base it on cookies and not ip, sadly my skils aren’t up to the job.
still i love the customisation elements of this plugin and it’s good to see the community still thriving.
(i’ve been away from txp for a while)

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
I installed it and the stars show up but they don’t seem to function. That is, even after I’ve voted, it still displays “This article hasn’t been rated.” Also, it shows 4 stars and not 5. When I built the CSS in the Extensions tab I specified 5 stars, so I’m confused. (Also, I just tacked on the generated CSS to my main style at the end—that isn’t a problem is it?)
Per the previous poster’s question/answer exchange I checked and my diagnostics says this:
PHP Server API: cgi-fcgi
also, in case it’s relevant: PHP version: 5.2.5
I’m a designer, not a programmer, so it’s likely that I’ve done something retarded.
Also, I can’t get any of your demo pages to load. They all say “Forbidden” and return a 404 error :(
Here is an example, though this is in my default article form so any article on my site would be as good:
http://opalcat.com/Rant/harry-potter-and-the-nudity-kerfuffle
Here is the relevant bit from my default form (until I get it working I just snagged the exact code from the example in the help):
<txp:jmd_rate>
<txp:if_jmd_rate_votes>
<p>
Currently rated <txp:jmd_rate_rating/>/<txp:jmd_rate_max/> after <txp:jmd_rate_votes singular="vote" plural="votes"/>.
</p>
<txp:else/>
<p>
This article hasn’t been rated.
</p>
</txp:if_jmd_rate_votes>
<txp:jmd_rate_display/>
<txp:if_jmd_rate_voted>
<p>
Thanks for voting.
</p>
</txp:if_jmd_rate_voted>

Yes, it is supported, but Jm, the author, is quite busy with the real(ity) life, school and so on.
If I remember right, there were little redirecting problems with cgi-fcgi during the development progress, but it should work fine (seems not, but it’s hard to say for sure, as we can’t see your actual code, nor logs, only the output).

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
I understand about busy—I’m in school myself. I just didn’t want to sit around waiting on a project that wasn’t still live so I had to check.

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
Sorry for the delays everyone – I’m finally done with school and miscellaneous projects.
Lozmatic, OpalCat – try 0.4b out. I borrowed a little more of ZCR’s redirect code, so maybe it’ll work!

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
I installed and activated the plugin, but it still isn’t working. Do I need to change the css the old code generated, or change my forms?
