gbailey,

I'm actually just finishing up a plugin that does exactly that. It uses AJAX to send the vote, which is stored in the database. The voter's IP is checked to make sure it's not a duplicate vote. It also works when the reader has javascript turned off. The plugin is for b2evolution 1.8, which is still in development, but I'm using a cvs snapshot on my site. If you want to go ahead and upgrade, I can tell you how to get the plugin. You can see a demo [url=http://brendoman.com/dev/180-alpha/]here[/url]

Hi Personman,

Well that sounds fantastic!! I'll look into an upgrade (my project is still in the development stage also) over the next few days.
Would be great if I could test your new plugin for the rating then.

thanks a lot

Hi Personman,

I working on the rating tool using b2evolution 1.8. Do you have a sample which I can use.

Thanks

Here's my plugin:
http://www.brendoman.com/dev/beta/plugins/starrating.zip

It still needs a little polishing before it's ready to be released, but it basically works and I've got it running at plugin.b2evolution.net so people can rate plugins.

Hi Personman,

Thank you for the plugin. I have downloaded it and shall integrate it in 1.8 alpha.

Best wishes.

Hi Personman,

I am having this error when I install the plugin in 1.8.1 RC. The error is

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ';', expecting T_FUNCTION in D:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\b2e\blogs\plugins\starrating_plugin\_starrating.plugin.php on line 318

Can you kindly advice me on fixing this error.

Thanks

Best wishes

chauhans, the error is because personman used a PHP short tag (line 210 in version 0.1 of the plugin).

Search for "<\?[^p]" (regular expression) and replace it with "<?php".

Sorry about that. I just fixed it in the new version, which I'm trying to get released today if blueyed and I can get one more thing fixed.

Ok, here's the official release:

http://plugins.b2evolution.net/index.php/2006/10/05/star_rating

alright :o looks good but I got this error: document all is zero or no object
I am using b2evo 1.8

I solved it by myself. plugin does not work with IE. the rating window is only a "black box".
it works very good with firefox.

If you want to use IE then upgrade to IE7.. unless you are one of the millions on Win2k that MS don't give a hoot about :)

The rating tool works with IE7, as well as a few other things.
Won't help your visitors though, unless you put up a big sign that says "Use Firefox, or if you must use IE, then get 7"

joachim,
You're right, there was a bug, but I just fixed it and updated the zip file. Download copy the new files over the old ones and it should work. Thanks for catching this for me.

Danny

Danny, I'm getting the following errors with Konqueror:
Error: http://demo.b2evolution.net/stable/blogs/plugins/starrating_plugin/scriptaculous/prototype.js: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: HTMLFormElement
Error: http://demo.b2evolution.net/stable/blogs/plugins/starrating_plugin/scriptaculous/effects.js: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: HTMLFormElement

Do you get the same error when trying the demos at script.aculo.us in Konqueror?

Yes, already on the homepage. I'll see if I can report it to either them or the Konqueror guys.

edit: I get it _only_ on the homepage, not on this demo page for example: http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/CombinationEffectsDemo

The plugin seems to work anyway.

the black window works pefekt @ IE with the permalink, but if you want to view the rating box from the "main-page" you still get a black box and not the rating inside.

Hi All
I have just installed b2Evolution ( 1.8) anh try to install starrating plugin by manual on manual.b2evolution.net but still have some problem.Could any one help me with some problems:
- I download and install plug-in successfully.
- In Start Rating Plug in setting, I set it "opt-out" in Rendering setting
- Modify "_main.php" in skin as manual

<?php $Plugins->call_by_code( 'starrating', array('id' => $Item->ID ) ); ?> 

But I am not sure where to hack second change :

<?php $Plugins->call_by_code( 'starrating', array('display' => 'notice' ) ); ?> 

I try to post 1 post with already check Start Rating Option, but I did not see any change in my Blog.

Note: I installed b2E in localhost

Please give me some advices!
Thanks and Best Regards,
Khoa Huynh.

Khuynh,
That second line of code goes right after the <body> tag in your _main.php file.

Also make sure that the first bit of code is placed inside the bSmallPrint section (or at least somewhere inside the post loop).

Do you see any stars next to your post after doing that?

Danny

joachim,
I'm not sure what you mean. I tried skins.b2evolution.net in IE and I can vote from the main page. Do you have a link to a site where you're experiencing this problem?

@ personman:

main page: http://www.snigles.de
permalink-page: http://www.snigles.de/index.php/2006/10/08/sommermode_2007

I'm just getting mysql errors at your site.

?? everything works fine ??? there are no mysql errors.

The errors are gone now (but I didn't imagine them this morning). I think I see what has happened. You didn't follow directions very well and you placed the notify skin tag inside the post loop. You end up with several divs with the same id, so when the JS tries to update the div, it doesn't know which to use. Move that notify skin tag to right after the <body> tag and I think your problem will go away.

Dear personman
Thanks for your reply, now It work great.I like this plugin?
Khoa Huynh

Hello

i've got a problem with your plugin personman, i installed it as said in the manual, then i have

Undefined index: display in _starrating.plugin.php on line 123

i'm on 1.8-beta b2evolution.

Regards, patrice.
http://www.stufu.org

Try upgrading to 1.8.2. That what this was designed with. It's a more stable version, anyway, so you should be using it.

personman, the error/notice is with the plugin, not b2evo.

Care to add it to the evocms-plugins repo? Then I would just have taken a look at it.. :)

Seems the SkinTag() method gets called without a "display" param. You might want to check if it's empty() in your plugin (I have 0.5.2-dev here).

Personman
the rating just stops at 'Loading...'
Do you hve any idea why?
It worked for 1 day, than it just died
Thanx,
P.

System: b2evo 1.8.2, starrating 0.5
www.worldphoto.hu/newblog

Peter,
I just voted for a post on your blog and it worked fine.

:( it still desn't work on mine...
Thanx for checking.
P.

I notice that star rating doesn't work on the blog all blog. Is there a way to fix that?

I just installed on the 1.9.1 beta and I am wondering why I am receiving error messages:

Trying to get property of non-object in d:\program_files\wamp\www\blog\plugins\starrating_plugin\_starrating.plugin.php on line 210

Under this is repeats all the stars over and over. Also I am receiving the loading message after trying to submit.

Add

error_reporting(1);

to your /conf/_basic_config.php file (or to the top of the plugin file). 1.9.1 seems to enable display of php notices. I'll release a new version of the plugin that fixes all the notices (sloppy coding on my part), but you can turn down error reporting for the time being.

thanks, will try that!

okay added the error reporting line and that took care of the messages, however there is 1 issue that came out of that. not sure what the fix is, I will look into it but I wanted to show you so you could see:

Can you give a link to your site and let me know what web browser(s) are affected?

sorry its on a localhost, i have been testing and building up a blog. its on a closed network.

browsers affected though in my testing:
ie 6

firefox 2 - firefix also has a small black bar on the left side half of the size of the netscape

netscape 7 - netscape also has a black bar on the left side - image attached

Hi I love the fact that you have developed this plugin! Can't wait to get it working...

I am running 1.9.1- still in test -

I get this error in the sidebar:
Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in /home2/bigjim/public_html/blog/plugins/starrating_plugin/_starrating.plugin.php on line 177

When I go to the file, it's a blank space.

and when you vote you get a new page with this error:
Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Argument is not a string in /home2/bigjim/public_html/blog/plugins/starrating_plugin/_starrating.plugin.php on line 262
unit_long23|

You can see it at this url:
http://blog.hotstuffleatherandlace.com/index.php/b?cat=4

Also, I don't think the images are right...
Please help when you have the chance...
Thanks Jim

Danny : Something I noticed in Democracy was this error was caused by \n in one of the $params. If it's the same problem you can cure it like this

     <input type="hidden" name="params" id="params" value='<?php echo str_replace( "\n", ' ', serialize($params) ); ?>' />

¥

The $params Just bellow line 117 looks like this:
function SkinTag( $params )
{
global $plugins_url, $DB, $Item, $Plugins, $blog, $ReqAbsUrl;
$outof = $this->Settings->get('outof');
if(!isset($params['display'])) $params['display'] = 'stars';

if ($params['display'] == 'notice') {
echo '<div id="ratingResults" style="display:none"></div>';
} elseif ($params['display'] == 'toprated')
{

Where would we fix it?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,
Sorry that was just a note for Danny.

You'd need to replace every occurence of :-

serialize($params)

with :

str_replace( "\n", ' ', serialize($params) )

Take a backup first though huh, because I haven't looked at the code I'm just basing it on the cure for a different plugin ;)

¥

Thanks again, did a quick search on the code no serialize($params) found. There are plenty of ($params) and even some $params.. not very good at this, maybe I should wait until personman looks at his code?

My blog is not live yet, but, I still don't care to mess up a good thing :)

Here is the code if you want to look at it.

Thanks,

Try changing this line :-

$checkIP = unserialize($r->used_ips); 

to :

$checkIP = (empty( $r->used_ips) ? NULL : unserialize($r->used_ips) );

¥

Thanks! that did the trick on the 2nd error after voting. Although it still goes to a new page.

Still have the side box error refering to line 117.

Progress has been made.

Thanks,
Jim

I installed the plugin but instead of getting 5 stars I get 5 numbers...

Apparently I have done something wrong. Here is where I put the code:

<body>
<?php $Plugins->call_by_code( 'starrating', array('display' => 'notice' ) ); ?>

Btw --- the site is www.theparchment.org -- the post about New Years 2007 has the plugin enabled so you can see what I am getting as a result.

I'm guessing that you haven't fully upgraded your skin. In particular you appear to be missing the hooks that plugins use in the <head> section :-

<head>
	<?php skin_content_meta(); /* Charset for static pages */ ?>
	<?php $Plugins->trigger_event( 'SkinBeginHtmlHead' ); ?>

ok -- do I add that code and to what file? My skin is Crystal Glass..

You need to add it to _main.php
