5 Star + Thumb + Hearts Rate Extension + translate variable

[Zagareth]

Its a great extension and exactly what I was looking for.

Now I've tested it and it works all fine. Just a little teardrop.... its a bit inaccurate. Just for testing purpose, I rated a few times (with IP lock off) and this is what I get from the calculation from this table:

5|87.152.110.140
1|87.152.110.140
1|87.152.110.140
5|87.152.110.140
5|87.152.110.140

5 rates, 17 pts = ave. rating 3.40 but it shows ave. rating 3 from 5 votes.
It seems that there is a some kind of down rounding in 0.5 steps.

I wish you would improve it that the stars (thumbs or hearts) show at least a 0.2 step (currently 0.5 step) and the ave. rating number a 0.01 step. I know this would be some kind of work, but hey, its just a good way to improve something 'very good' into something 'excellent'

But still great work.

I`am not the developer from this script or a php coder,i did build an extension so you can easy insert this script in your webbuilder pages.
I can make little changes in the code so that it works in webbuilder but that`s all I can do.

ok, here is a quick solution to simply show the right result in numbers, w/o a change in the stars:

Code: Select all

// Assign star image
if ($rater_rating <= 0  ){$rater_stars = "./stars/00star.png";$rater_stars_txt="Not Rated!";}
if ($rater_rating >= 0.5){$rater_stars = "./stars/05star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 1  ){$rater_stars = "./stars/1star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 1.5){$rater_stars = "./stars/15star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 2  ){$rater_stars = "./stars/2star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 2.5){$rater_stars = "./stars/25star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 3  ){$rater_stars = "./stars/3star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 3.5){$rater_stars = "./stars/35star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 4  ){$rater_stars = "./stars/4star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 4.5){$rater_stars = "./stars/45star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}
if ($rater_rating >= 5  ){$rater_stars = "./stars/5star.png";$rater_stars_txt="$rater_rating";}

replace the fix numbers: 0.5, 1, 1.5... 5 that are in the section // Assign Star Image in the file rater.php at the end of each line by the expression $rater_rating.

The above posted code works fine. If you make more "if" lines with a step of 0.2 and apply new stars to it, you can even make the stars more accurate. I still have no clue how to setup this in a WB extension, so its your job to make it

[Eddy]

I inserted your code in this download but with 0.2 and than more stars the rater gets to width,now you have 5 stars but with 10 stars you get a huge rater layout.

You got me wrong. Not 10 stars, just 5 stars, but with a step of 0.2 than 0.5. That are 25 images instead of the current 10. Thelayout is still the same, but the shown image would be more accurate to the real number.

And a huge thx for the quick change

Btw, the downloadfile is not the same as the starrater_translate.zip, is it? Because that is the one Im using... so if you change that too in the next future, let me know

Sorry, I`am not going to make 25 images with steps of 0.2 its a lot work ( 0.2 = 1 star in 5 parts ) that would 75 images for stars,hearts and thumbs.

I did made the change for you, but dont update all other rate extensions,you are the first user who ask this after 300 downloads.

[Zagareth]

Great work. Its already in use now and works fine.
Well, its not really needed to improve the images. It was just an idea.

But still, I would make it an offical change (not the images, just the shown value), because every other kind of rater I've seen on other websites use a more accurate rater than in 0.5 steps. But thats your decision.

Thank you very much for the effort.

Has there been an update or upgrade to the extension to allow you to use on more than 80 pages?

If not, is there an alternate way of doing so? I love the extension but need it on more than 80 pages...

I have tried other options outside of the builder and they are either too difficult to install or do not work with my server.
I have installed and used this one and with the exception of the page limit - love it!

Thanks!

[Eddy]

No,but I have changed it in this version to 800 for you.

Hi Eddy

This is what I posted in the general section:

"When they enter the password they can then vote. But my problem is when a vote is taken, the page then goes back to the password protected page and says password not valid.

How can I overcome this? I know it's code related - maybe a session - any help or ideas?"

Someone best sumed up what I want to do in your star rater section:

Great extension, really useful - just a thought, would be even better ( for my purposes anyway) if placing a comment required a login ie only registered members can place a rating.

That's what I want to do. Do you know how to achieve this??

Any ideas?

Thanks for the hard work and invluable contributions

[JimmyJazz]

I'm also searching for a star rater combined with comment, is this achievable with this extension?

[Eddy]

Sorry DarrenH and JimmyJazz I do not know how to code php to make it work in password protected pages or how to combine a comment box with the star rater.

Hi Eddie. i love this extension. Can you please give me a link to download the version that allows for 800 pages? Thanks in advance.

Eddy hello long time without giving you feedback. I tried using the extension and has not been possible. I used WWB version 7.5 and above. For some unknown reason does not work so I tried a local server (XAMPP) and a server 000host.com both have php. WWB Confugure to have php file extension, etc. It did not work. Nothing appears on the page, it shows the code as dispersed as set WWB. Can you help?
