WP-PostRatings / Re: Making WP-PostRatings 1.50 Work With SuperCache Properly

« on: 22 May 2012, 13:10 »

Another thing that you can do is simply tell SuperCache to clear the cache for that specific post after a rating is made. Works for me... Just add this code after "$rate_userid = intval($user_ID);"

Code: [Select]

if (function_exists ('wp_cache_post_change')) {
$GLOBALS["super_cache_enabled"]=1;
wp_cache_post_change($post_id);
}

WP-PostRatings / Re: Google Webmaster tools crawl error with WP-Postratings

« on: 10 September 2011, 22:50 »

I Just installed WP PostRatings and started getting the same problem immediately. In Google Webmaster Tools, /images/ and /rating_over. are generating tons of 404 errors. For now, I've simply disallowed those directories in robots.txt

I don't use any Minify plugin...

WP-PostRatings / Re: Display only stars (no text, no votes allowed)

« on: 09 September 2011, 23:42 »

I managed to do it, but in an extremely roundabout way. I know very little PHP so I can hardly recommend this ugly solution. However, if anyone's interested, here it is:

1. Add the following two functions:

Code: [Select]

function the_ratings_static($start_tag = 'div') {
global $id;
$ratings_id = $id;
echo "<$start_tag id=\"post-ratings-$ratings_id\" class=\"post-ratings\">".the_ratings_results1($ratings_id).'</'.$start_tag.'>';
return;
}

function the_ratings_results1($post_id, $new_user = 0, $new_score = 0, $new_average = 0, $type = 0) {
if($new_user == 0 && $new_score == 0 && $new_average == 0) {
$post_ratings_data = null;
} else {
$post_ratings_data->ratings_users = $new_user;
$post_ratings_data->ratings_score = $new_score;
$post_ratings_data->ratings_average = $new_average;
}
$template_postratings_text = stripslashes(get_option('postratings_template_mostrated'));
return expand_ratings_template($template_postratings_text, $post_id, $post_ratings_data);
}
2. Modify the "most rated" template to include only static stars (use %RATINGS_IMAGES%)

3. Call the_ratings_static function from your theme where you want to use it, like a boss!

WP-PostRatings / Display only stars (no text, no votes allowed)

« on: 06 September 2011, 19:18 »

Hello,
 I am looking for a way to show only the current rating of the post (no voting allowed) in the custom loop I did for top rated posts. But I don't want to modify "Ratings Vote Text" since I'm using it for regular posts.

Basically the same static "stars" that are shown in the widget and it the comment author ratings. In the templates it's marked by %RATINGS_IMAGES%. Any way to get that from the plugin?

(I can, of course, just use get_most_rated(); and modify the template to my needs, but then I won't be able to use stuff like tags and custom fields on my "top list" page).

Edit: OK, something like this will make the stars static. the_ratings_results gives static stars, and the_ratings_vote gives the voting ones. I still can't figure out how to get rid of the text.

Code: [Select]

function the_ratings_static($start_tag = 'div') {
global $id;
$ratings_id = $id;
echo "<$start_tag id=\"post-ratings-$ratings_id\" class=\"post-ratings\">".the_ratings_results($ratings_id).'</'.$start_tag.'>';
return;
}
