GD Star Rating 0.9.9.2 RC2

datePosted on 00:10, October 22nd, 2008 by Millan

RC release had few bugs so here is the new version. Problem with PHP4 and scandir() function is solved. Problem with widget post title rendering, first comment disabled rating and rendering of post review stars are fixed. I have removed user guide from this release and you can download it from my blog so I can keed the plugin package smaller. Since I will be working on some new features that require some more jQuery, I have added jQuery.ui.datepicker code along with translations for all currently available languages in the plugin.

If more critical bugs are discovered, you can expect more such releases. Also, if you want you can use SVN from Google Code page to get latest version of development code to test it if you like.

    Hey thanks for the prompt update! I’ve installed and activated this plugin on my site with very little difficulty.

    The only problem I have is when I insert the script inside my visual editor through WP shown live is the text “TitleVotesRatingReview”

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great plugin!

    Try to set some options for the shortcode, like filter settings and other options. To render the table plugin uses template elements from Template settings page.

    What you get now is only header row, and no posts. This could be due to the some of the filter settings.

    I will update user guide in a day or two, with more detailed explanations.

    I don’t really know what I’m doing in these settings. What is necessary for the plugin to display properly?

    This is a huge improvement. Thank you for fixing the crippling bug! However, I’m still having a problem. The star ratings are no longer showing up on the blog. The place for the star ratings is there, and the accompanying text is there. But it’s not possible to click on the stars. Is there something I have to reset to get this working again? I originally had a similar type of problem with the ratings widget. When I installed this new release the widgest came up empty. But I discovered if I opened them up and saved them again, they worked fine. Is there something analogous I need to reset get the star ratings on the posts working again?

    Problem fixed. After I saved a post, the stars started working again.

    You can change template for rating text and starrating shortcode on templates page in admin panel.

    sorry I’m having difficulty with things I’m sure are easy.

    i just want to display the ratings and reviews, but when i put in the example code it says “TitleVotesRatingReview” like before.

    should i wait for the new documentation, or is there something i’m missing here? i wasn’t able to make use of your reply.

    As I said, try setting some shortcode options using the button in the post editor in wordpress (rich text editor tinymce), that’s red star button. If that doens’t help and you want to make shortocde yourself, please wait few days for documentation about this.

    Some of my ratings text formatting does appear to no longer work. My html tags like italics no longer work on my ratings header text. And on my widget text, %RATING% no longer works. I look forward to reading your documentation in hopes of addressing these issues.

    Oops. I wasn’t expecting my html tags to actually work in the previous comment. The word italics was supposed to be surrounded by the appropriate html tags.

    It could be either that is slow, and takes some time to load, or the problem is that the location of your wp-content folder is not in it’s default location (wp26 feature). Check out if that’s the case, you need to insert path to wp-content in plugin config file. Check out read me file.
