[Plugin: Rating-Widget] Is there a widget?

Yep, it’s listed at the top 5 tasks in the TODOs list ??

Great to hear. This is the only ratings plugin I can get to work with W3 total cache.

But the last update has now hidden ratings from the loope. They still show up under single post.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand you. May you please give some more details.

I think I figured it out.

Because I am using 2 pages/templates to split my blog index by category, I had to enable the “Page” rating to see it in by index/loop.

But I do notice that it is not respecting my advanced font color which is #CCCCCC for all 4 widget setting tabs.
Chek it out here.

Further is there a php function I could just insert into my 2 blog templates so that the ratings don’t show up on other pages?

Thanks,
Darcy

Dear Darcy,

1. I’ve just uploaded our new release which include Top Rated Widget as I promised (check it out): https://downloads.www.ads-software.com/plugin/rating-widget.1.1.5.zip

2. I’ll check the color problem, it’s probably some bug. I’ll send you a notification when it will be solved.

About the color… something is wrong on your side. Did you massed up with the WP code? because somehow you show a post where it suppose to be a page.

Anyway, you can hack this by searching the next string:
“pages” => array(“type” => “page”),
and replacing it with:
“pages” => array(“type” => “front-post”),

BUT THIS IS A HACK, SOMETHING IS WRONG ON YOUR WP.

Hope it helped,
Vova

Great to see the widget. Will there be any configurations for it? font color, etc.

I do see 2 “info”icons in my widget.

As to what you are seeing with my site, yes its kind of a hack. Basically I have a blog that I want split into 2 separate pages. 1 for news and 1 for photos. I did this with a child theme and custom template that are assigned to a page each.

I will live with the color for now. I don’t want to hack your plugin as I believe there will be more updates to come.

Great plugin by the way!

1. Off course there will be configurations!
2. I thought that the “info” icons should be in the widget, so users can see the rating explicit report right from it, but if the users says otherwise – who am I to argue with it ?? So as for your request it was removed!

This works fairly well. It would be nice if there were an option to show “#/5” rather than the stars. Many themes like mine have rather narrow widgets and when each post takes 2-3 lines the formatting isn’t great.

It may also be wise to have a setting like: only show posts that have x or more votes.

What I am finding is an unpopular post has only 1 vote of 5/5 and it stays in the top of the widget, even though others have more votes.

Gotta say, this thing works great for such a new plugin and I have it working with MU install, W3 Total Cache including CDN Caching. Couldn’t get any others to work with my configuration. This thing just works. Great job!

It sounds like a very good optinal settings – will be adapted on the next versions ??
