rating system

  • Good afternoon Mo?ada,
    I have been looking for days for a solution for what I am developing …

    I am creating a biblical quote website and I did not want to create a post for each quote since most biblical passages are less than 250 words. If I were to make a post for quote I would have several plugins to evaluate post by post.

    Anyway, I’m looking for a function or plugin so that I can put several biblical quotes within a post and an assessment for each passage within the post. Does anyone know how to do this?

    Example of a post:

    Title 1
    quote
    user rating and option to share

    Title 2
    quote
    user rating and option to share

    Title 3
    quote
    user rating and option to share

  • You mean you want to input and manage bible quotes manually ?
    There are already lots of API services available for you to do this, without the manual intervention.
    i.e.
    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/biblesupersearch/
    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/bible-reading-plans/

    or build your own :
    https://scripture.api.bible/

    If you would prefer to manually enter this data, then you could use a Custom UI Type + Advanced Custom Fields.
    Then create a page and use shortcodes to display as many verses as you like.

    The difficulty is to insert a function or plugin in which users can evaluate several texts in a single post.

    All plugins only insert a rating at the end of the content. In my case, there would have to be a like and dislike in each end of the h2 title.

    There’s more to the difficulty. Keeping track of ratings to individual sections within a post is not conducive to database relationships, as there is no database ID type of field directly associated with each section, only to the post overall.

    IMO, keeping each passage as a single post is not unreasonable. What the challenge is, is to create a UI which presents these posts in a meaningful manner. Clearly the usual single post per page model would be cumbersome for someone wanting the context surrounding the passage. You’d want a page that presents a good number of posts/passages as a cohesive whole. Just as though one were reading a page out of a physical Bible.

    Then you can introduce interactive elements like ratings on a per post/passage basis and have the data so collected be properly related by ID to each passage in the database.
