New auto vote code on publish

  • i have tweaked some code in another post to auto vote up pages upon a publish.

    add_action('save_post', 'auto_rate_post');

function auto_rate_post($post_id)
{
	if(defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	if(!isset($_POST['post_type']) || !current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id))
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	$stars = 30;

	$total_stars = is_numeric(get_option('kksr_stars')) ? get_option('kksr_stars') : 5;

	if(!get_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', true))
	{
		$ratings = $stars / ($total_stars/5);
		$avg = $ratings ? number_format((float)$ratings, 2, '.', '') : 0;

		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', $ratings);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_casts', 6);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_avg', $avg);
	}

	return $post_id;
}

    the code above basicly gives 6x 5-star votes to a page on publish.

    to modify for yourself think of the total number of votes you want the post to start off with, i in this example 22, then figure out what rating you want the post to average (22 VOTES x 4.8 final rating =106 STARS TO ADD)

    the final result on the website comes to
    4.77/5 (95.45%)
    22 votes

    add_action('save_post', 'auto_rate_post');

function auto_rate_post($post_id)
{
	if(defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	if(!isset($_POST['post_type']) || !current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id))
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	$stars = 106***TOTAL STARS TO ADD (22 VOTES X 106 STARS);

	$total_stars = is_numeric(get_option('kksr_stars')) ? get_option('kksr_stars') : 5;

	if(!get_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', true))
	{
		$ratings = $stars / ($total_stars/5);
		$avg = $ratings ? number_format((float)$ratings, 2, '.', '') : 0;

		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', $ratings);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_casts', 22***THIS NUMBER IS WHERE YOU PUT THE NUMBER OF VOTES (22 VOTES X 106 STARS);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_avg', $avg);
	}

	return $post_id;
}

    the exact cut and past code for
    4.77/5 (95.45%)
    22 votes is:

    function auto_rate_post($post_id)
{
	if(defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	if(!isset($_POST['post_type']) || !current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id))
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	$stars = 105;

	$total_stars = is_numeric(get_option('kksr_stars')) ? get_option('kksr_stars') : 5;

	if(!get_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', true))
	{
		$ratings = $stars / ($total_stars/5);
		$avg = $ratings ? number_format((float)$ratings, 2, '.', '') : 0;

		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', $ratings);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_casts', 22);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_avg', $avg);
	}

	return $post_id;
}

    to use the above auto voting, just add the code to your functions.php file

    i will be trying to tackle the voting up of old posts soon, so if anyone has a solution to set the votes, or generate the data, please let me know.

    im considering researching how to trigger the function above with a different action other than page publish.

    im considering imacros for an automated republish of all pages.

    ill look for a plugin solution that republishes all pages.

    and ill see if i can get help on overstack for a different idea.

    please let me know if you have any tricks you use.

    add_action('save_post', 'auto_rate_post');

function auto_rate_post($post_id)
{
	if(defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	if(!isset($_POST['post_type']) || !current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id))
	{
		return $post_id;
	}

	$stars = 60;
	$kkfaketotal = rand(12,15);

	$total_stars = is_numeric(get_option('kksr_stars')) ? get_option('kksr_stars') : 5;

	if(!get_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', true))
	{
		$ratings = $stars / ($total_stars/5);
		$avg = $ratings ? number_format((float)$ratings, 2, '.', '') : 0;

		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_ratings', $ratings);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_casts', $kkfaketotal);
		update_post_meta($post_id, '_kksr_avg', $avg);
	}

	return $post_id;
}

    add random user $kkfaketotal = rand(12,15);

    min=4 / max=5

    Hi.
    I ‘ve already add this code into my theme-functions.php and already create a user kkfaketotal. Now, how can i do this work? Is it possible to rate all posts randomly?
    TIA
