W3 Total Cache

I don’t use W3 so I don’t know if it works, but here’s the code that was on that webpage…

/**
 * Get WP-PostRatings via ajax
 *
 * Useful when using cache plugins like WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache
 * 
 */
function ac_get_rating_ajax($postID) {

	// Create nonce - security measure
	$nonce = wp_create_nonce('display-rating');

	// Placeholder HTML that will get replaced when the rating loads
	$out .= '<div id="ac-ratings-wrap-' . $postID . '">';
	$out .= '<p>Just a moment please...</p>';
	$out .= '</div>';

	// Script to get the rating
	$out .= '<script type="text/javascript">';
	$out .= 'jQuery(document).ready(function($) {';
	$out .= '$.ajax({';
	    $out .= 'url : "' . admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) . '",';
	    $out .= 'dataType: "jsonp", ';
	    $out .= 'data : { "id" : "' . $postID . '", "_ajax_nonce" : "' . $nonce . '", action : "ajax_display_rating" }, ';
	    $out .= 'success : function(response) { $("#ac-ratings-wrap-' . $postID . '").html(response.output); }';
	  	$out .= '});';
	$out .= '});';
	$out .= '</script>';
	
	// Return it
	return $out;

}

// Hook ajax function into admin-ajax.php
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_ajax_display_rating', 'ac_ajax_display_rating' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_ajax_display_rating', 'ac_ajax_display_rating' );

// Ajax function
function ac_ajax_display_rating() {
		
	// Nonce
	$nonce = $_GET['_ajax_nonce'];
	if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $nonce, 'display-rating' ) ) die('Security check');
	
	// Check Ajax referer
	if ( !check_ajax_referer( 'display-rating', '_ajax_nonce', false ) ) die('Security check');
	
	global $wpdb;
		
	// SQL injection protection
	$postID = $wpdb->escape($_GET['id']);
	if ( !is_numeric($postID) ) die('error');

	// Return the rating display (not echo)
	$out = the_ratings( 'div', $postID, false );
	
	// Encode and echo
	$arr = array( 'output' => $out );
	
	$arr = json_encode($arr);
	
	echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . $arr . ');'; // Callback is generated by jQuery
	
	exit();

}

I added this code to the /plugins/wp-postratings/wp-postratings.php file and that seems to have fixed the problem. Thanks for the help.

@zgall1 What version of WP postratings are you using? This has no effect for me.

1. i added the code.
2. cleared all caches.
3. voted as guest (logged out)
4. refreshed the page.
5. it still shows i did not vote, but if i try to vote again it says i already voted.

So, no effect.

I’m surprised you say it works, maybe it did work on an older version?

It didn’t work long-term. I ended up having to make changes to the plugin file itself.
