Wishlist for future versions

Hi @blazk

I made that suggestion because I did not know you’d think of adding more icon options, for example.

But disabling enqueue of FontAwesome css is a very important thing to do, because it has templates and other plugins that use it.

I only use the results widget. I resolved here so, in the functions.php

// Remove Font Awesome
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'remove_font_awesome_style' );
function remove_font_awesome_style() {
      wp_dequeue_style( 'rmp-font-awesome' );
      wp_deregister_style( 'rmp-font-awesome' );
}

function icomoon_css_method() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'icomoon-css', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/css/icomoon.css' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'icomoon_css_method' );

And I adapted the css to call the new font:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'icomoon';
    src: url('fonts/icomoon.eot#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
        url('fonts/icomoon.ttf') format('truetype'),
        url('fonts/icomoon.woff') format('woff'),
        url('fonts/icomoon.svg#icomoon') format('svg');
    font-weight: normal;
    font-style: normal
}

[class^="fa-"],
[class*=" fa-"] {
    /* use !important to prevent issues with browser extensions that change fonts */
    font-family: 'icomoon' !important;
    speak: none;
    font-style: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-variant: normal;
    text-transform: none;
    line-height: 1;
    margin-left: 15px;
    /* Better Font Rendering =========== */
    -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
    -moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale
}

.fa-heart:before {
    content: "\f004"
}

.fa-star:before {
    content: "\f005"
}

.fa-thumbs-up:before {
    content: "\f164"
}

Now I have a load of 1KB, before it was almost 100KB.

And again, congratulations on working on this plugin.

Cool solution @douglasferraz89. If you put the css in your child theme’s stylesheet, it will be even better – you avoid making one additional request to the server ??

Yeah, it’s necessary to add an option to disable enqueue of FontAwesome. I’ve seen websites that had FontAwesome loaded up to 3-times due to various plugins and themes. But unfortunately there is no way to check if a script/css has already been loaded. I’m working on a small update now which will probably be out soon and I’ll add this option.

By the way, the plugin loads scripts and css only to pages that have rating or results widget. I had performance in mind when developing ??

Hi @blazk

Its plugin is very good, fulfills the purpose very well and still works perfectly in more aggressive caches.

Thanks for your suggestion on CSS.

But, I like to load the scripts individually just to control my child themes, but in the end I use some concatenation plugin like Fast Velocity Minify, in my opinion the best of that category.

You were brilliant when talking about the requisitions, you’d better have a 100KB file, than three 20KB files, but you’ll make three requisitions.

Thanks

I agree @douglasferraz89, child theme can quickly become a mess if you use it for CSS for plugins. By the way, I couldn’t get any editor for your language. If you want, you can ask here if somebody wants to go through your strings: https://make.www.ads-software.com/polyglots/

@smik2002 I’m working on version 2.1.2 and investigating the double click/tap issue on iOS devices. I’m having a bit of problems without any iOS device – it’s coming soon but not before the 2.1.2 version will be out ?? Do you maybe know if this issue was present already in previous versions? Or is it something that appeared in 2.1.1?

By the way @douglasferraz89, @smik2002 and others, if you want to get more involved in the development of the plugin you can join me on Slack ?? https://join.slack.com/t/ratemypost/shared_invite/enQtNTE0MDcyNjg5NTM4LTljNjRjYzRjMGFiOWRhYmM0MWZkYTlmZDQ1MzIyZjM3YzU0N2U1MWRlODM5MjczNmFhZjU1ZDllZTgxOGE3Y2M

Hi Blaz,

how is it going ?? I’m sorry, but I dont know which version it was… Will you get an iOS device? Will check out SLACK now, thanks for sharing.

Best,
Stefan

Yes, I’ll get one soon ?? I just released version 2.1.2. I changed how hover is handled on mobile devices because the stars stayed in hover state after vote. Please check it out on iOS and let me know if it still requires double tap ?? Don’t forget to clear cache after update ??

There is also vote count and link in emails now as you suggested. I ran out of time for the Matomo thing but it I added tracking via Google Analytics – It’s only tested with several plugins but I’ll test with more soon. Oh, and your translations are included – thanks again! ??

Hi Blaz,

that’s great! 2.1.2. is supercool, thanks for the fantastic work. Unfortunately this double tap thing is still there.

If I click on a star the text description appears below, but the rating is not finished / saved. If I click outside the widget area the description disappears and I can select another star. If I click the second time the vote is being saved.

Will send you a video of that in SLACK.

The emails look great! Is it possible to sort the list in the “statistics” section in the backend by votes / average votes / feedback? To easily see the loser posts? ??

Translations are good, can I further work on it? There are some strange translations I would like to improve.

Viele Grü?e!
Stefan

Hi @blazk

I asked to be an editor for Brazilian Portuguese.

I joined the slack.

@smik2002 we’ll debug the issue over Slack ?? yes, I have sorting on to-do-list as well as csv export ?? Yes, please add more translations and change if anything need changing ?? See you on slack.

@douglasferraz89 thanks and I hope somebody confirms soon. See you on slack.

@smik2002 sorting and search in the stats section have been added in version 2.1.3 that I just released. Please also check for the iOS bug – now it should be fixed ?? This was a relatively small update with bug fixes.

Hi Blaz,

the new version looks good! Thanks! Now there is only one click on iOS. Gooood work!

Stefan

@smik2002 Done in version 2.2.0 ??
“Is it possible to implement it that way that the user can choose the stars one after each other and add a button “submit rating” ?”

@douglasferraz89 I gave you credit for the translations – thanks ??

Guys, also check Slack if you have time ??

Hi! I have used the plugin for some days, and got feedbacks from four different users that have clicked one star instead of five (We are doing a social media campaign, and the user really like the content!) . I guess they think that it is the way to do it, to click one and one star. For that reason, I like to have the “submit rating” button visible on desktop. I guess I can tweak the code to do so, but I am not a coder, so it would be great to have the possibility to make the button visible at non-touch devices as well.

Hi @snotra,

I noted this and will be added in one of the future versions. Til then I recommend enabling “Show star hover texts” feature. Thanks for your suggestion.

Regards,
Blaz
