[request] Amazon-like Article Reviews

There’s a very nice plugin that allows people to rate an article out of 10 and display the average, but I need one that works differently:

1. Rating option on the comment form
2. Submitted rating to appear next to each comment (as an image)
3. Option to display the average rating on the article. That’s the total ratign divided by the number of ratings.
4. Ability to list articles by rating, both ascending and descending
5. Ability to list articles by number or ratings, both ascendign and descending

Does this sound complex? I’ll be happy to donate $$$ for this, either to the developer, textpattern.com or charity :)

It sounds like css_rating would be able to accomplish all this.

Re: [request] Amazon-like Article Reviews

Not quite the same. css_rating works for each article but not each article’s comment.

I’ve suggested this functionality to the author of this plugin and he/she will consider it for the next version.

I think a plugin as like the one I suggest is a very good idea. There are many sites out there that have a product review section with user ratings. I think it would make Texpattern appeal to a wider and less blog-centric audience — not that there is anything wrong with blogs :)

I would basically like to expand this to include ratings for files. I have asked the creator to consider this as well.

Any developer available to develop this?

I’m willing to pay for this.

Cheers,

Re: [request] Amazon-like Article Reviews

If you’re still looking for a plugin (many months later!), check out jmd_rate. for 1, 3, and 4 done :). 5 would be an easy addition. Of course it still fails on #2, since it’s not integrated with the comments (D’oh!).

Re: [request] Amazon-like Article Reviews

I don’t have php5 installed on the host i use… but i think i can change that.

in another thread i said that there were problems with Ie6. i don’t see any now, so that works fine.

One more question. Can I place the voting results from article A in article B, for example?

i’ll let you know how i get along.

thanks :)

I guess I can do this using md_article_cf?
