Topic: Display full text of highest rated post

[xtaz]

Hello !

First, I'm an happy user of your different scripts !! Thanks you very much.

But this time i'd like to do something else for a future website. I want to display the top rated post on a page. I managed to display the excerpt for each one (playing with ratings template) but I'd like the full post ! And if possible I'd like to keep the presentation for this top of the index page (ie with meta and stuff)
How can I do that ??

Other question : I use tickcross_crystal with -1 and +1 as value, it seems that it sum everything, right ? but can we display how many people has voted for and how many people has voted against instead of the average?? something like >>>   "V I agree with the post (322 votes), X I'm against this post (32 votes)" where X and V are the image. or if too complicate : "I agree with the post (322 votes), I'm against this post (32 votes)"

Thanks

1. That is not possible. You have to use query_post instead, take a look at the readme.html under Usage Tab
2. Nope that is not possible.

Arf ! So I can't have the full post nor display how many people has voted for and how many people has voted against instead of the average, I'm sad...

But for 1., by using query_post it would possible ?? I look into this then.
For 2. I tried to do xx% of YY people voted for it, but the numbers displayed are wrong or is this me ? I used :
%RATINGS_PERCENTAGE% % of %RATINGS_USERS% peoples are for, and you? %RATINGS_IMAGES_VOTE% <br />%RATINGS_TEXT%
My percentage is wrong... is it the wrong variable ?

[GaMerZ]

The percentage is the total score divided by the number of users who voted not the number of users voted for.

Hello I'm back.
I tried the query_post in my template but it's bugging, I'm getting an error :
Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.

code I used :
<?php query_posts($query_string.'&r_sortby=highest_rated&r_orderby=desc') ?> 
 <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
  <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
...

I also tried to pass the variable in my url (?r_sortby=highest_rated&r_orderby=desc) with no result

What am I doing wrong there ??

And I need to mix this query with
<?php query_posts(array("post__not_in" => array('1'))) ?> 
how to do this ? I tried
<?php query_posts($query_string.'&r_sortby=highest_rated&r_orderby=desc'&array("post__not_in" => array('1'))) ?> 
but obviously it's not working! What's the good one ? help me pleaase ! I'm lost

Thanks !

I tried <?php query_posts($query_string.'&r_sortby=highest_rated&r_orderby=desc') ?> 
on the index page, it works... So why not on the other page ??

I think your argument passed in maybe wrong. Are you sure array("post__not_in" => array('1')) is a valid argument? It is better for you to post in http://wordpress.org/support as this has nothing to do with the plugin.

sure. taken in the codex and already at work

I'm doing that...

Thanks !

FOUND!! \o/
It works with :
<?php query_posts(array("post__not_in" => array('1'))) ?>
<?php query_posts('r_sortby=highest_rated&r_orderby=asc') ?>

All those search for this... damn

Hmm wouldn't the second query_post overwrite the first:?

[xtaz]

nope !  it works fine
