Star Rating System BBCode

[victory1]

I've been looking for a star rating system to use for my monthly book of the month discussion. I found one which I thought worked except I could not figured how to not let guests votes. I just discovered another flaw since I'm using it in the same forum in different topics, it's copying the votes from the previous topic instead of making it 0. I know a lot of people have been requesting this for movies and games.

BBCode usage

Code: Select all

[rating]{IDENTIFIER}[/rating]

Html replacement

Code: Select all

    <div class="js-kit-rating" starColor="{IDENTIFIER}"></div>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="ratings.js"></script>

Helpline

Code: Select all

Choose your star color.
[rating]Golden[/rating]

It looks like this:


If you hit the exclamation point next to the stars, you will get to see voting history by choosing the tabs:

MOD-specific support needs to be posted in that particular MOD's support thread.

I have the ratings.js file on my server. It definitely has problems if it's being called from the page, ie the same forum but different topics. Here is the ratings.js code: http://www63.zippyshare.com/v/20612474/file.html

There is a big community for that, so the RQ is not phpbb relevant.

Thanks, I think I'll request one for phpbb for products. I don't know why we don't have one when it's a great function.

bcs. it's complex and costs many time. time, that no one pays for.
find 10 people, each people spend 50 €, pay a programmer and this mod is build in 2 weeks.

Thanks 4_seven, I realize it's complex now since I actually e-mailed the ratings.js script to a developer at my job so he could take a look at it. Plus there's a ton of messages with people requesting this since 2007. Here's what he said:

I doubt seriously that the flaw here lies mainly in the HTML/JS code. I'd bet that the flaw is mostly in the server-side code, which is not shown in that (incredibly ugly and overly complex) JS file.

As far as I can see, it's only set up to support one rating system per site (maybe per page).

It's what you get when you use somebody else's library: Pre-built code but code limited to whatever that person decided to put in the library.
