5 Star + Thumb + Hearts Rate Extension + translate variable

[Eddy]

Open notepad.
Save a new page as item_1.rating
Upload that empty page to your server in the same directorie as rate.php and cmod to 666.

Or look first in the php file for the exact name:
Open rater.php and look to the raterID "rating" for the exact name after item_1.

// DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE
$rater_filename='item_'.$rater_id.".rating";

Thanks Eddy

It worked but now Im having a problem using "Star Rater" with "Form" with submit button

When I hit "Rate" it mixes up with the "Submit" button on the form

See Here http://highwaytrucker.com/talent.php

The form prosesses the rater after submit and thats what the form prosessor from webbuilder shut do,it proseses all forms in your page.

I think the best thing todo is:
Make the form on another page and show the form in an iframe page.

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 Baconfries,

I posted this on the extensions suggestion thread but it is about star raters.

"Just found this open source star rater using jquery, it is called:

RateIt - a jQuery (star) rating plugin

Can be found at this website:

http://rateit.codeplex.com/

I've downloaded two .js files, a css file & related star images but unfortunately I do not know how to implement it in wysiwyg

This is a recently developed script that is billed as being easy to implement (they not meet me before)

The script is highly configurable & would be of great benefit to the community if someone could develop this into an extension.

Hopefully someone can pick up on this."

......................................................

Maybe better to let go the old rater & start again, anyone with experience in creating extensions will probably get this up & running in no time at all, it gives some amazing options as well.

[BaconFries]

As I have mentioned in the previous other topic I am not taking over Eddys extensions...I am only trying to help were help can be given. I have taken a look at the Rateit script and it uses jQuery 1.4.3 at prescnt all WB jQuery and the majority of user made extension use jQuery 1.4.2 making them uncompatible with the Rateit script, so using with a extension/object that uses 1.4.2 will cause conflicts it would mean all WB jQuery objects/extension be updated to work with one script....

[JimmyJazz]

Aaaahhh, ok, I didn't realise there would be backward compatibility issues with the jquery script. I just thought I could upgrade & there would be no problem with existing scripts.

It may be a blessing I am not a developer

Does anyone know how often jquery gets updated in web builder?

[BaconFries]

I cant say, but we will probably have to wait till the next major upgrade/update as WB has been using jQuery 1.4.2 since WB 7 was released last year but we can rely on Pablo if it is needed then it will be on the ro do list of improvments...

[Bliasuk]

Is it possible to make the "rate it" box much smaller, about 1/4 its current size?

Thanks
