Topic: WP-PostRatings and SubCategories

[Jalo]

Hi all,

I use the latest version of WP-PostRatings & Worspress and would like to sort posts by rating on the subcategories pages.
Messages are posted in a category and a subcategory.
Now when I open the subcategories page it shows all the posts including the posts from other subcategories (total category).

I use this to sort: <?php query_posts('r_sortby=highest_rated&r_orderby=desc') ?>

Is there a way to alter the code so it just shows the posts from the subcategorie?

With kind regards,

Thank you for your reply. Can you help me out a bit? I don't know much about php.

I created this code:

<?php
 $categoryvariable=$cat;
 $query= 'cat=' . $categoryvariable. '&r_sortby=highest_rated&r_orderby=desc';
 query_posts($query);
 ?>

That show only the rated posts, so I'm close but I can't figure out what to change to show all posts with highest rated on top.

With kind regards,
Jan

The code you posted will sort in highest rated in descending order based om the category and so the highest rated post should come first. If it does not, there might be a theme or plugin conflict.

I think I know what it is, the other posts haven't been rated yet. I'll try to edit a post and see if it shows up in the subcatgorie. I'll let you know.

Yes that's it, after I edit a post it shows up, I don't even have to rate it, just edit the post and it shows up.

After you published the post, and when you edit the post, can u see 3 custom fields by postratings?

[Jalo]

Yep the three custom fields are there, I din't check before I edited the post though.

Okie then the sorting should work as the values are 0.
