Operation: Bug Hunting

datePosted on 14:05, October 17th, 2008 by Millan

Just a quick post about current development of GD Star Rating. I have been adding new things, but mostly I am focused on fixing reported bugs. And good news is that most of the reported bugs are fixed! Just to mention some of the most important:

  1. invalid rendering postion for StarRater shortcode
  2. XHTML validity problems
  3. crashing WordPress rendering in some rare cases
  4. invalid template initialization

If you have found more bugs, please report them in comments or on the forum. And if you want to test latest development snapshot, go to Google Code Project Page and get it from SVN or from Download page (0.9.9 Dev).

On monday I will release GD Star Rating 0.9.9 Release Candidate. And most likely for Halloween stable 1.0.0 will be released.

    Hi Millan, I installed 0.9.8 Beta 4. Just getting started with it. Awesome Plugin! I use feedwordpress to import posts that I want to have rated. Ratings do not appear for auto postings. Not sure if this is a bug or config issue. I saw no references in the forum. thx, terry

    Stars are not shown, because imported posts are not really posts, they are in the same table in the database, but they are different type (like post and page difference). I will add support for this in the next version. Thanx for pointing that out.

    Thank you. Is there code that I can manually add to the imported posts as a work around?

    Post type shoud be changed to post, but that will break the feedwordpress behavior. I can assure you that support will be added at latest with 1.0.0 version.

    excellent thank you for your prompt attention. let me know if you would like beta testing on this feature. I’m a newbie, but I’m willing to give it a go.

    I think it would be perfect if rather than users being able rate each comment that was is displayed there is the rating that the person who left the comment provided. and at the top directly under the post could be a cumulative total of them this way you can see exactly who voted which way on each persons comment.

    What I mean is each comment should show what the author of the comment rated the post.. and the top of the page can display the average of all the ratings from those comments

    Doug, this sounds like a good idea, and I will think about this, and will add it to the list of future features.

    @askterry: problem with displaying rating with syndicated posts from FeedWordPress can’t be solved, because there is nothing to solve. My plugin works fine, but the problem is with FeedWordPress that overrides WordPress rendering actions and removes all other plugins generated content. Until they fix this, there is no solution.
