Support/Comments for CSS Star Rating

There is a snippet that will help you. It’s called HighestRated. I had exactly the same problem last week.

Great little snippet and worked a treat too.

BBloke, thanks for the heads up.

I always try to solve everything with Ditto first. Is there a performance hit with HighestRated?

Not that I’ve noticed. I have it running on a 130+ parent folder with a few TV’s and it’s seems ok but theres no need for speed on my site. I had ditto working for a while but it was strange to see more 3’s at the top rather than any 4’s or 5’s.

One thing I did was change the math to allow for 2 decimal places to get a more accurate list.

When I try to vote, it just goes to the home page and nothing else happens. Any ideas?

I fixed it now

No ideas as such apart from having a look at what your browser says the ’link’ for the vote is doing. My snippet call is:



I guess check that you have the TV created and that its assigned to your desired template and declare it in the snippet parameters (mine is MovieStarRating).

If I hover my mouse over a voting star FIreFox tells me its going to go to: http://mysite.com/mypage?starvote=3&pid=(docid).
When you click you cast your vote and the page you voted on should re-appear. If mypage isn’t the same as the page you are on then that could be where the problem lies.

I can’t think of anything else. Sorry. I’ve not had that problem.

Also, check that you have called the snippet uncached - [!...!] instead of [[..]]

If you still have problems, let me know and I’ll have a more in-depth look for you.

Guys...I’m having a hard time getting this thing to display at all.

I know it works and it’s a bad ass little script but it seems like I’m overlooking something really simple and I can’t for the life of me see it?!

Here’s my code:

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


Here’s what I get:

Unable to display rating

Can anyone help me get this straightened out?

Thanks in advance! Love this thing. Would love to use it!

How about removing the &docID parameter ?

Thanks so much! It displays just fine now.

Should I assume that it works correctly too? Or, is there any way to test this?

Actually, when you click to vote it goes to an error page.

Is there a debug mode or anything that can help me figure out what’s going on?
