Hi Garry,

Thats great news Obviously this will aid in improving the system a lot due to stopping multiple votes in any way

Regards,

Tom.

I found this really nice rating script and I though it would be awesome if we could have this as a modx snippet sometime:
http://widgets.rabidlabs.net/ratings/v1.2/

Doesn’t work in Internet Explorer 6 for me...

You are right, I just noticed it doesn’t work on IE that’s a shame, such a nice looking script.

Very nice looking script that. It does work in IE7 for me, but it is annoying as it causes an iframe to appear around the rating options themselves...

Actually, the IFrame is just for displaying the demo of the widget (to avoid conflicts between the site JavaScript and each widget/version’s JavaScript).

If you view the standalone HTML, you’ll see that there aren’t any IFrames as part of the wiget’s standard use.

My client has signed up for this Hacker Safe service and they are saying that the star_rating snippet is vulnerable to mysql injections. I fixed this in other pieces of code on the site, but I can’t figure out how to do it with the star_rating snippet. Does anyone have any experience with this problem?

Thanks.

@ArkWeb: If you could PM me a bit more info on what the Hacker Safe service are saying, I’ll be happy to look into it.

No need ... removing the alias value will allow it to be used for all combinations of friendly url settings.

So, I apparently am not getting how to implement this snippet with SEO friendly URLs. If my call looks like this, what is wrong with it:

[!star_rating? &docID=[+id+] &useSession=1 &onevote=1 !]

When I hit my page, it says ’Unable to display rating’

I’m guessing it’s because my docID is not using an ID but a SEO friendly URL. If so, how can I call the snippet and give it the correct parameters at the same time.

PS Sorry if this is a dumb question but I’m just getting my head around things here.

If your star rating is for the same page as it’s being displayed on, then you won’t need to pass the &docID - the snippet will automatically default to the current page ID if &docID isn’t passed as a parameter. Also, make sure you use backticks, that could be a possible of your problem as well.

Try using:

On a side note, [+id+] is a placeholder used by ditto, if this is not within a ditto call, I am not sure if it would work or not. Try [*id*] which is the global id variable.
