WP-EMail / Re: Future of using email, print, poll, ratings functions in WP3.0 with custom post

« on: 05 May 2010, 21:10 »

Actually, I made a post here about WP-Postratings and WP3.0. I had to make mods so the widget works correctly with custom post types since the default widget restricts the display to post_type = 'post' or 'page' depending on the widget setting. I extended it to work with custom post types. My post is here: http://forums.lesterchan.net/index.php/topic,4725.0.html

WP-PostRatings / Re: wp-postratings 1.50 and custom post types

« on: 09 April 2010, 00:40 »

Ok, to answer my own question, I have made a quick mod to allow custom post types to be selected in the Ratings widget:

1. In wp-postratings.php line: 1157 changed default mode to 'all'"

Code: [Select]

$instance = wp_parse_args((array) $instance, array('title' => __('Ratings', 'wp-postratings'), 'type' => 'highest_rated', 'mode' => 'all', 'limit' => 10, 'min_votes' => 0, 'chars' => 200, 'cat_ids' => '0', 'time_range' => '1 day'));

2. Further down:

Code: [Select]

$time_range = esc_attr($instance['time_range']);
// MOD include custom post types in $mode options
$cpt = get_post_types(); // exclude 'attachment','revision','nav_menu_item';
$cpt = array_diff($cpt, array('attachment','revision','nav_menu_item'));
$cpt = array_merge(array('all'), $cpt);
// END MOD
3. Then changed the mode select drop-down like so:

Code: [Select]

<select name="<?php echo $this->get_field_name('mode'); ?>" id="<?php echo $this->get_field_id('mode'); ?>" class="widefat">
<?php // MOD: changed to use custom post type array
foreach ($cpt as $key => $value):
?>
<option value="<?php echo $value ?>"<?php selected($value, $mode); ?>><?php echo ucfirst($value); ?></option>
<?php
endforeach;
//END MOD
?>

Finally in postratings-stats.php replaced all instances of 'both' with 'all' to reflect the change in the mode default.

Good luck.

WP-PostRatings / Re: FIX for settings redirect issue

@UKMagento

I don't think you'd want to use Magento as an ecommerce "add-on" for a WordPress site. It's more the other way around, you want to use WordPress as an "add-on" for a Magento ecommerce site (like we've done on http://return2health.net -> Articles).

WP-PostRatings / wp-postratings 1.50 and custom post types

« on: 09 April 2010, 00:05 »

I realize that Lester won't be having much time to work on these plugins and that's fine.

I just wanted to point out that this plugin won't work correctly on a WP site that uses custom post types. The rating part seems fine, however, the ratings widget doesn't take into account the additional post types since it only offers the selection of posts & pages to display the higest/lowest rated etc...

I was wondering if anyone will be adding custom post type compatibility in the near future?

Cheers
