        Is there any information available about how to use this extension?

        Just using [[starRating]] does not seem te work.

        Problems:
        - On page-refresh the Stars disapear and the numbers 1-5 show up.
        - Rating is identical for all resources, so no per-resource results.

        When using [[!starRating]] the stars stay visible all the time but in this case rating is also identical for all resources.

        Any Idea’s?

          Frank, you need to specify the starId parameter.

          In another question, I have find a problem like in quip, in star links and in redirect after submit a vote it lose any extra url parameters... any place to submit this issue ? Like in quip I access the resource from a sendForward.

            I have the same problem. I cannot find the way to rate different pages, now when rating, it rates whole site.

            My call:
            [[!starRating? &docid=`[+star_rating+]`]]

            Is there something wrong with my star_rating TV properties or what?

              If star_rating is a TV:
              [[!starRating? &docid=`[[*star_rating]]`]]
              


              If star_rating is a placeholder:

              [[!starRating? &docid=`[[+star_rating]]`]]

                I’m having trouble installing the package (starrating-2.0-rc1) in Revo 2.0.0-pl rev7212. I’ve tried both downloading in the package manager and manually uploading the zip to core/packages; either way, the package shows up in the package list but the install fails.

                The behavior I see is
                1. Click on the Install button.
                2. See the usual overlay for License Agreement for an instant. No chance to press a button.
                3. See the usual overlay for Readme for an instant. No chance to press a button.
                4. I can’t remember if I see the Options overlay or not; if I do it’s the same behavior of appearing just for a moment.
                5. See the output screen for the installation process. This is the output:

                Error 23000 executing statement: INSERT INTO `modx_categories` (`parent`, `category`) VALUES (’0’, ’StarRating’) Array ( [0] => 23000 [1] => 1062 [2] => Duplicate entry ’StarRating’ for key 2 )

                I notice there’s an error referring to duplicate entries in modx_categories. I’m pretty sure that’s an artifact of previous failed attempts. But the "Error saving vehicle object" has always been the same, from the first attempt.

                  Im sorry, I must be being a bit daft. I too am having problems stopping the same star rating from appearing on all pages - I have tried putting both versions of the call in to my base template - the rating appears across all pages - can someone explain what Im doing wrong? and what is the TV versiona and the placeholder version?

                  Dan.

                    [[!starRating? &starId=`[[*id]]`]]

                    is the right way to call it. You can see in the snippet code the var is called starId.
