Tables cbe_helpful_counts and cbe_helpful_votes should be both populated by the snippet called cbe_helpful_ajax. You will find it in rah_external_output. Is it there ?

Scratching my head, wondering if your database has a problem.
What happens if you set production status to ‘debug’ ?

Re: cbe_helpful: Visitors can rate articles (based on wlk_helpful)
Hi CeBe.
Thank you for all your work on this script!
There is a small problem, when i use the following example code:
<txp:cbe_helpful labeltag="h2">
<p><txp:cbe_helpful_score /> people found this article useful. Do you ?</p>
<p>
<txp:cbe_helpful_yes class="green" />
<txp:cbe_helpful_no class="red" />
</p>
</txp:cbe_helpful>
I can see, that it generates the following (just a snippet of the code):
<p>
<span class="plus green"><span class="thecount">0</span> <a title="Plus" class="helpfulplus" href="#"><span class="distext" /></a></span>
<span class="minus red"><span class="thecount">0</span> <a title="Minus" class="helpfulminus" href="#"><span class="distext" /></a></span>
</p>
The class=“distext” is in the closed part of the span tag, which doesn`t have a starting tag… unless i am missing something?
{Edited to add bc.. for better code display. -Uli}

Glad it works now.
For your position problem, ask a designer as I’m just a coder :)
Seriously, it’s probably just a matter of CSS. Is there a designer around here to tell us ?

Probably my fault. Thanks for pointing at it, I’ll have a look.
Seems like labels for voting are set to blank, your users won’t be able to vote :)
Go to Extensions > Article ratings and if you see nothing beside “Positive vote label” and “Negative vote label”, fill in the blanks. This should solve the problem(s).

Your right. The “vote labels” were empty. But people could vote, since i used css sprites, instead of text. I found a solution to the “problem”.
Thank you again, for all your hard work.

This is interesting. What’s the technique, if you don’t mind sharing it ?

Hmm well okay, but it is NOT fully testet, and it is NOT perfect and pretty, and it probably only works, if the rater is set to “simpel”.
under “Extensions > Article ratings” i put the following, in the “Positive vote label” box: <b class=“vote_label”>Plus</b> and the “Negative vote label” box: <b class=“vote_label”>Minus</b>
I left the “Widget label” blank.
Here is the code for the article:
<txp:cbe_helpful>
<p><strong>Vote for this page</strong> (The users have given this page <strong><txp:cbe_helpful_score /></strong> points.)</p>
<p class="rating">Positive points:</p><txp:cbe_helpful_yes wraptag="span" class="number" />
<p class="rating">Negative points:</p><txp:cbe_helpful_no wraptag="span" class="number" />
</txp:cbe_helpful>
And here is the css:
a.helpfulplus span.distext, a.helpfulminus span.distext {background-position:0px 0px;margin-top:3px;margin-left:10px;}
a:hover.helpfulplus span.distext, a:hover.helpfulminus span.distext {background-position:0px -12px;}
a.helpfulplus span.distext, a.helpfulminus span.distext {float:left;display:block;width:12px;height:12px;background:url(images/picture.gif) 0 0;cursor:pointer;}
p.rating, span.distext, span.thecount, span.number{float:left;margin: 0;}
p.rating{padding-right:3px;} span.number{font-weight:bold;padding-right:30px;} span.distext, .vote_label{display: none;}

Hi Claire, ça va?
I am using this plugin on one site – and its working great – thanks
I am thinking of using it on another project which would list articles based on time – eg:
All Time Most Helpful
<txp:cbe_helpful_list limit="10" time="*" />
Most Helpful This week
<txp:cbe_helpful_list limit="10" time="-7" />
Most helpful this month
<txp:cbe_helpful_list limit="10" time="-30" />
Would that be beyond the scope of this plugin?
