Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
I installed the plugin and got the stars to show up for an article, but clicking on them doesn’t do anything except reload the page. (Go to # on this page.) Looks like it could be awesome. How can I make it work?

do you have a url or any more information you can give?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
Sorry, I’m just working on localhost for now. I’m using Textpattern 4.03. I installed version 0.6c of the plugin. Under Active in the Plugins tab it says Yes. Appending of stylesheet and image seemed to go well — I did get the stars, after all. I put the tags txp:tcm_rating_form and txp:tcm_rating_num at the end of an article, and they both show up to say the article hasn’t been rated.
That’s probably not very informative. Let me know if there is anything else I can tell you.

at the moment, the plugin requires clean urls. this might change in the future, but it looks like over 90% of installations are using clean urls.

Thanks, seems to work great on my 4.0.3!

I did some research and discovered that clean urls don’t play well with Apache on localhost in Mac OS X. There are solutions, but they are too scarey for me. Once I get a host, I’ll try the rating system again.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] tcm_rating v2 beta release
Hi,
Installed the plugin on my local machine and it would not work? So I then installed it on a test site and it works fine – thanks. Is this plug-in going to have more functionality? Like:
1. Have multiple ratings on one article?
2. To integrate description text for rating within the tag?
Many thanks

@strawberryfusion
I’m working on multiple ratings. I’m swamped with work, but I’ll probably work on this this weekend. I’m thinking that it will work like this:
the input & output tags will have a new option for “subs” – short text ids for specific “things” within the article which are rated. all of the subs are still averaged into the article rating.
I don’t see the reasoning for integrating desc. text with the tag… if you could elaborate further, give it a go – but I don’t see the purpose to do this – it seems like it would sacrifice a lot of flexibility for a tiny simplification of tag code.
