Thank you so much ?? This will work for my needs right now.

What are the chances for future calculators that I’d like to build, that I could get a button that actually causes the calculations to happen when clicked rather than calculations happening when the focus leaves a field?

I’m a paid member. I can submit a support request instead if that’s more appropriate.

Will do.

Thank you for this, Dario. I appreciate you trying to squeeze something in before the weekend.

The script executes (after adding a bracket at the end “}”).

(I created a quick stage copy of my site to test) In my case, I have a custom front page with no loop so this doesn’t actually show results for me. If I revert to the latest blog posts for the site, the theme shows its own custom thing (Extra theme by ET). When I remove the home page logic in the code given, it conflicts with my theme/builder.

That said, there are parts to this that I can cherry-pick to put in custom queries I have in other places, and that alone is really helpful. Thank you.

nifty geek at google mail place. Name’s Patrick.

(@sophy0), not yet, no. My plan was to incorporate it into a custom query of my own making, but if @dudo is willing to put something together, I’d rather the expert over me.

If this falls outside the scope, I’m sure I can hack something together. I want to wait for him first though. We can’t be the only two with review sites wanting to sort our posts by user reviews.

Edit: no pressure, @dudo. I’m willing to try something to set this up this weekend as long as you folks don’t judge my ugly coding too harshly.

Following. This would also make sorting posts much easier for my user-review site.

(I understand calculating and storing extra meta during every user rating could be a performance problem, but maybe a cron job that would occasionally calculate user log and store the value in two meta fields? Once a day would be good enough for me, personally.).

_yasr_user_rating_numb,
_yasr_user_rating_average

I figured it out.

Placing an empty function overrides the alert. I created a snipped and pasted under..

//Here you can put code that you want to be executed before the form is submitted
window.alert = function() {};

I still have a question though — I plan to make more calculators using your forms that won’t be storing any data. Is there a cleaner way to go about this?

I never found the stats because it looked like everything I could do was in the settings area. My eyes never bothered to wander to the left. They wandered to the right where the blocks were instead.

Maybe a block for a stats button there?

“See Stats
— View and manage your visitors’ ratings.”

Just an idea.

TIL there’s a stats page in YASR with all of the votes. You’re not the only one EB. Dang, I missed that too and I’ve been using YASR for months.

I’m using that shortcode for round-up posts. It does show the current user’s rating already, but it’s *beneath* the stars written in text.

Example — “Your rating: 5”

I customized what mine says in the settings where it says “Custom text to display when an user has already rated”.

My apologies if this wasn’t helpful.

@sterndata — I’m pretty sure @sanjuacharya77 meant “so that we can check into [the problem with your] site [without having to share your details in the forum].

Checking into something (by directing someone to higher level support/developers) and logging into something are very different things, no?

I will very much be looking forward to testing it out when you get there!

Yes to the modal. That solves most of it in one swoop.

If they could see a list of their reviews with that edit link available, I think I would have happy campers.

I’m sorry I didn’t see your latest reply before I wrote that essay.

Yes, correct. They would need a user account… for the type of review I’m looking for on this site anyway. It would be very similar to a Google Maps or Yelp review, only with the twist of being able to review individual dishes as well (where could then display top user-reviewed dishes in different categories later).

People edit their reviews on Gmaps and Yelp constantly when they have different experiences with the same dish or restaurant. I’m very wary I need to build that into the system to avoid user frustrations. (In my case, I started looking for review modules when I found out the Extra theme by Elegant Themes didn’t allow users to change their star ratings once created — that threw a wrench in things).

I did see in another support thread the option of the members plugin. It’s the rank-and-file regular user creating reviews that fits my needs. It seems the members plugin to change the role of a user would be a manual action by the site admin (if I have a valid understanding). It’s not a select group of people I would allow to review and change their reviews. Just the average joe registered user who had a good or bad experience with a sandwich.

I’m also not building into the site the ability for the business owners to have access to their listing(s). I’ll manage the index, add dishes, approve reviews, etc.. Eek. That’s something else I didn’t consider — approving a modified review that’s previously been approved. Something the custom dev would also have to cover, using a hook to set the review to a non-approved status, I would think.

To make things as simple as possible: I don’t really need in-depth written reviews. Mostly just star ratings data I can use to sort by. With that, I wouldn’t need approvals for initial reviews OR modifications.

This is still a great plugin I’ll keep in mind for other sites. I’m not sure I can make it fit for this one (without getting too complicated or over-budget, I mean).

I did that. Enabled both “QuickEdit” and “Bulk Edit” in all possible combinations. Same result. No quick editing of fields.

I know the 1 star review seems harsh but there’s no path to resolution for me.

Maybe if I do the plugin-disabling dance I’ll have better luck. If I’m successful with that, I’ll come back and post what the conflict was and up the star count.
