I’m looking for an efficiently coded plugin that will do 3 things…
1) Allow a person to rate a product when they submit a comment, based on a 5 star rating, by simply selecting the appropriate star on the 5 star icon widget.
2) List the user’s rating of the product, inline with their comment.
3) List an overall product rating, based on the cumulative ratings of each rater, at the top of the post.
I can place the relevant tags inside single.php and comments.php if need be.
I like wp-postratings for the most part, but the ratings are not displayed beside each person’s comment, they are just rolled up to the top, so you can’t see what rating a particular reviewer gave the product. Other than that, its what I’m looking for.
The GD Star Rating plugin is immensely popular, and has an entire site dedicated to it.
For some reason this wouldn’t let me add a comment. I am interested in this exact type of plugin, and I’ve been trying to work with GD Star Ratings all day. If anyone is interested, there are a number of hooks and filters. http://info.dev4press.com/gd-star-rating/filters.html
It basically has all the functionality that I am looking for, but like Mike said, nearly impossible to use and understand. On top of that, there is only premium support available, and that isn’t cheap.
Scott – Were you ever able to find a solution? Did you discuss Mike’s implementation with him?
