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>
</txp:jmd_rate>—

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?

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
No, the only new code is the redirect. It’s probably something else in the plugin :(. I’ll get my demo up and running in a minute. That worked at one point!

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
Does it matter that I appended the css to my main stylesheet rather than as a separate file?

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
Nope, but it looks like I need to add more specificity to the generated CSS (bottom border).

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
Just guessing, but try this one. Just install and activate and see if it works.

I figured as much! I think this might be The One.

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
Installing and activating it didn’t do anything new. Again, if I need to change the forms or the css or something let me know.

Re: jmd_rate: A CSS star rater
No, nothing’s different. Sorry for all the failed versions!
I might have a functioning one soon. I need to rewrite a portion of it for Ajax, so hopefully I’ll find the fcgi bug.
