GD Star Rating 0.8.8

datePosted on 23:30, August 22nd, 2008 by Millan

Another day, and another release. I made mostly cosmetic chaneges to control panel and to the display of stars so I decided to release it right away. You can now control aligment of the rating block and the position of the text for the rating blog. Also, I have added one more text row with some sort of title or message that will be placed above the rating for all 3 types of ratings. For now only text is allowed, but I will work on adding the html in that header.

Control panel settings page is a reorganized because the number of options is grown and I like it more if I don’t need to scroll much to see most of the options.

Very important: This version will still have update database elements from previous versions. Next version 0.9.0 will have some important changes to the database for some new features I am planning. So 0.9.0 will be able to either update from this version, or install fresh.

Comments and suggests are welcome as always.

    Translation POT file is available, but it’s still not complete. It will be with 0.9.0 version.

    Millan,
    I’m excited about your new plugin. You’ve done a splendid job. One feature I think would be positive is optional # of votes, especially for low traffic sites.
    One of my interests for this plugin is for the voter tracking.
    You have my contact info. I’d like to talk with you.

    Hey, Thanks for your plugin. It’s just great.

    There is a little problem that becaouse the bot will also vote sometimes. Once i wrote a new post, and only 3 people viewed, but there is 9 votes. I think some bots accidently did this.

    Currently plugin detects bots and prevents them from voting, but it could be that there are new bots out there. Also, rating links have NOFOLLOW rel added, so the bots should not use that links. Next version will improve on this.
