GD Star Rating 0.9.2

datePosted on 00:35, September 4th, 2008 by Millan

Another minor release is here. I have added french translation (thanx goes to k|torz), and improved serbian translation. Important notice to translators: both spanish and french is updated by me to new POT file, so you can use included PO language files for future changes. As for the plugin, I was working on imporving control panel and backend DB code. Some small errors are also fixed.

I have included IE6 PNG Transparency Fix in this version. It will only affect users of IE6, for all the other browsers code will not even load, so no worries. Since page can have many, many images it can take few seconds for script to ‘fix’ all PNG images after page loads, but there is no other way.

I will be very busy with my real work for the next 2-3 weeks and will have very little time for this plugin, but you can expect 0.9.5 version in that period. This version will have improved widget and added voting trend for display in tables and widget. Also, I will finish voters log in control panel and will add better control of rating stars and text display.

    Oops! There’s still an IE6 transparency bug.

    When you hover over the stars, it still shows that weird blue-ish background. Guess it needs one more fix still :(

    Well, that can’t be fixed. None of the existing IE PNG Fixes can’t solve the selector hover background. This is the best it can be done.

    You can always use GIF images mated to background like the one your pages have. Included ‘Starscape On White’ set is like that.

    If some better way of fixeing pops up, I will sure add that. For now this is it.

    How about adding a “white background” option for pngs or gifts, that aren’t transparent? then just having that as a setting.

    so you can choose “transparent background” pngs or “gifs with white backgrounds” — a LOT of sites have white backgrounds, so it would cover a good majority of the sites out there.

    it should be a simple addition too.

    thoughts?

    I will add instruction on how to add additional sets of images with backgound color. It’s very simple, and people can add them for any backgorund color they need.

    If I have time, I will add few sets with white backgound in the next version

    Would you mind adding some instructions in the comments here or somewhere so I can do it myself real quickly? Would be greatly appreciated :)

    I’m using IE6 on XP. I get a string of code across the top of my page (this started with the latest update) . I’ve tested both Firefox and Safari on a PC and a Mac, and I don’t get the code there. Any way to fix this or to roll back to the last version?

    Thank you for all your hard work, and what looks like some great support.

    Oops. Where did the code go? I did type it in there. I’ll space it out and see if that works.

    LOL. Okay, here we go again. Hopefully the solution is easier than trying to explain the problem. I’ll spell it out this time.
    Less than symbol
    Exclamation mark
    bracket
    endif
    bracket
    hyphen
    hyphen
    greater than symbol

    Crossing my fingers…

    Oh, look. Now I see I likely should have posted this in your forum.

    Sorry. Time for more coffee!

    It’s from PNG Fix code, but I don’t see it in IE6 on my webstite. Can you please give more detailed info in the forum (theme, wordpress version, IE version).
