New version is here. First of all, I have fixed all bugs I have found related to rating rules. But, the most problems are coming from the fact that I have added some improvements with previous version that required for blog admins to review settings of the plugin and check if things are ok. Anyway, I have fixed things I have found so far to be problem.

So, please review the settings after updating plugin, check if things are set as they should be. If you still have problems, please use the forum and describe the problems in more details, include your settings (screenshots will work) so I can hunt the bugs. Also, check the user guide it’s very detailed.

This version includes some very important new features, and also partial implementation of features planned fo the future versions announced in roadmap for the plugin development. So, read on to find out what’s new.

Rating Widget

Well, it took a while, but new widget for GD Star Rating is almost done. New version of plugin will be available in the next 3 or 4 days. For now, here is the screenshot of the current widget control panel.

As you can see filter is improved a lot and now you can filter by time range, month or last number of days. Also, rendering is now control by the template, and template elements are also on the widget panel. You can orginize it as table, list or anything else you want using html tags, css classes or styles. Also, you can cut titles to a length you want to fit the content in the space you want without line break.

Also, plugin will have few functions for getting the same content for integration in theme. I hope you like the widget. If you have some suggestions, please add comment or forum post.

New version is ready. This one will hopefully fix duplicate voting, header sent error message and few other small errors. I have tested it last two days on different blogs, with WordPress 2.5.1 and WordPress 2.6, and so far I couldn’t find any problem. If you still getting errors, please report it in the forum and add exact error you get along with version of WordPress you are using.

This version has working widget. There is still work to be done, but for now widget supports multiple instances, and you can add as many differently set rating widgets in sidebars as you want. For now you will have a list with rating displayed.

Also, shortcode support is expanded, new options are added into TinyMCE3 plugin settings and now you can have rating displayed with stars. You can see the example on the screenshot on the right.

Next version will be availbe in the next few days with some changes to widget and control panel.

And, again new version. I have added different star styles and sizes. Also, I have completed administrative page that displays all voting statistics for posts and pages. Bug with cookie saving also is fixed. I have added some screenshots for the plugin. Bug again, best way to test it is to download it and try it for yourself.
