Still no decent star rating plugin for Textpattern? I’m looking for something similar to WP-PostRatings but can’t find anything from the plugins list or from this forum. :-/
Sorry, but instead of collecting information over at wordpress that seems hard to find there, plus deciding what you might find decent, plus guessing what you might have discovered here or elsewhere, I’ll rather list the plugins for TXP I know of :)
- cbe_helpful
- geo_vote
- jmd_rate
- pap_xpoll
- wlk_helpful
The list can be extended in case somebody knows of another plugin.

In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links

Re: [request] Articles Rating plugin - very-very needed
Okey, I should have given more detailed description. Star rating is the key term here. ;-) So that rules out these:
- cbe_helpful
- wlk_helpful
Those two are like thumbs up/down style. And:
- geo_vote
- pap_xpoll
These are just polls. So basically only jmd_rate would be useful… It’s just it doesn’t work. I tested it on two different Textpattern powered sites by installing and activating the plugin. Then I saved the example formatting presented in this message to a form. Seems like jmd_rate doesn’t save any data when user clicks one of the options. A demo version of how that plugin “works” is over here. (Sorry for the messy layout and stuff, it’s a test installation.)

Without disclosing the actual vulnerabilities, for instance geo_vote allows attacker full server control. I’ve sent the details to Geoff yesterday after reviewing the code.
Others are, expect cbe_helpful, are very old and I haven’t reviewed their source code in recent history to say anything about them. But, as it’s worth, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend using orphaned plugins.
I’ve found way too many security vulnerabilities and holes from Textpattern websites and plugins as of late :/

Note: cbe_helpful is based on wlk_helpful, minus some bugs (especially when you switch from percentage display to absolute values, and vice versa)
