[plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
Hi all,
This is just a beta release of the completely rewritten, rethunk tcm_rating plugin for Textpattern. It’s big, and that means that there will be bugs. If you’re willing to try it out, here’s what to do.
- Get the plugin here
- Get this image or this one, that might fit TXP a bit better.
- Enable the plugin
- Go to the “Extensions” tab and it’ll install into your database automatically.
- Click the “Install and Admin” link to install the required CSS automatically or paste it into an offsite stylesheet.
- Add
<txp:tcm_rating_js_tag />to the head section of your pages - Add
<txp:tcm_rating_form />inside an article form or an article - Add
<txp:tcm_rating_num />to get the number of ratings (details in the plugin, this one is multifaceted) - Use
<txp:tcm_rating_articles />with the same options as article_custom to get articles organized by rating.
- Report bugs and be patient.
- Knock yourself out.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
Yes. 4.0.3. No much more to tell… When I click on the “ratings” tab there is nothig under it except Txp’s footer menu.
Do you wan’t me to look for somethig particular ?
I’m trying on another fresh install… ‘coming back soon.
Edit :
Exactly the same problem… nothing in the extension tab on another install of TXP 4.0.3
Edit 2 :
And no new table in the DB

Try setting your production status to Debug or Test. There might be a SQL compatibility issue.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
I was in test status. Here is what I get in debug status in place of the “ratings” tab :
<code>Fatal error: Erreur de syntaxe pr�s de ‘DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1’ � la ligne 10 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `txp_tcm_rqueue` ( `parent_id` int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0’, `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `ip` varchar(30) NOT NULL default ‘’, `rating` int(11) NOT NULL default ‘0’, `posted` datetime NOT NULL default ’0000-00-00 00:00:00’, PRIMARY KEY (`id`), KEY `ip` (`ip`), KEY `posted` (`posted`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1; in /home/mysite/textpattern/lib/txplib_db.php on line 61</code>
And here is some of de Diagnostics info if it can help :
<code>Textpattern version: 4.0.3 (r1188)

Looks like a language problem in the DB. I’ll post a fix after class.

I’ll give it a go after your after class fix ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
okay, I can’t really see these errors because my db setup is definitely different. but here’s a fix which doesn’t specify the table type or charset. it also fixes a bug in tcm_rating_num. download

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
fix works, but what should the image path be? ../images/3.gif for example?
Offline
Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
i prefer absolute paths, but basically upload one of the star images, and get it’s url from the image page. so it would be like /images/3.gif or .png

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
hmm tried that and hit append but it didn’t append the path to the css, but also it didnt’ apply the star css to the main css.
gonna wait on other feedback and uninstall it for now, could just be me
