GD Star Rating 0.6.0

datePosted on 22:24, July 29th, 2008 by Millan

Well, new version is now available. This one has some important bugs fixed including the bug that allow duplicate posting with page refresh after voting. Stars can now be GIF or JPG. There is a problem with older IE (5.5 and 6.0) that can’t render transparent PNG’s. So, you can create stars in GIF with regular 1bit transparency. I have included one stars style with GIFs.

screenshot-4.pngMost important new feature is shortcode support that will alow you to add ratings table into your posts. Also, there is a tinymce button that can help you generate shortcode using simple popup form like any other tinymce plugin. Generated table uses default CSS style, but you can change this to any style you want. CSS template for this table is included and you can either change this file or create another one similar.

Next version will have working widget and user guide. Translation support is also still in works.

Thanx for all suggestions and bug reports, and as always don’t hesitate to ask for a feature. I will see what I can add in the future releases. And again, plugin is still in development phase, so there are still errors. Please report any error you find.

There is one more problem with multiple votes, but this one is not that offten and is caused by slow response from server. This will be fixed with next version.

Hi,
Don’t know if this is where I should post a problem I’m having. If I shouldn’t, please delete and let me know the proper place.
I am getting the following errors when voting:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/me/www.mysite.com/docs/wp-content/themes/options/header.php:2) in /home/me/www.mysite.com/docs/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gd-star-rating.php on line 545

Any IDEAS?
Thanks,
Peter

I am aware of this problem, and it’s being worked on. I will have fix available in the next 2-3 days with new version.
