I am trying to add an AJAX star rating system to my website but am having some trouble because I cant include the php snippet into the content of the body. Here is my site with the star rating system working (http://supplement-analysis.com/test/index.php ), this is the version without MODx CMS. Here is the current site with the MODx CMS http://www.supplement-analysis.com/index.php

The star rating system records the users ip in a database so they cant vote on the same product more then once. The only tricky thing with the rating system is that everytime you include it you need to change it for example for the firs product you would call it out like this

<?php rating_bar('1',5); ?>

and for the send product it would be

<?php rating_bar('2',5); ?>

Thanks for the help!

Did you try the start rating snippet in the repository first?

I didnt even know about the Repository. Thanks for pointing it out. I found a star rating system that might just do the trick in there. Thanks.

Hi guys!

My Question is related to this here so I post it here:
I want to display this content: http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

So i created the php into a snippet:

<?php
$imgid = $_GET['id'] . $id;
$hash = unserialize(file_get_contents("http://vimeo.com/api/v2/video/$imgid.php"));
echo $hash[0]['thumbnail_medium'];
?>

and i can load the snippet like this:
[[!vimeo_thumb? &id=`123456`]]

BUT, here comes the problem, I don't get the same thumbnail link like here:
http://heartandtruelove.com/vimeo.php?id=123456

My guess was, that I am doing something wrong in the php code, what could it be?
thanks for fast response! =)
