 Topic: v10 - Topic Rating
Posted: 21 January 2008 at 6:25pm |

Bruce, I know you're not taking any further feature requests etc, but one thing I noticed, which I found odd (not sure why), was that the topic ratings are out of 4, instead of the usual 5.
In my mind, the topic rating should be out of 5, as 'out of 10' or 'out of 5' are the usual ratings you give something, and not so much 'out of 4'.
Hope that makes sense.

I asked the same question and got this reply.

Will look at increasing this to a 5 star rating.
Also at present the rating system is enabled board wide, not sure if this should be moved to a per-forum biases?

The Rating system has now been changed to be out of 5 rather than 4.
If it looks a little strange when you click on the rating drop down then it maybe your browser has cached the CSS and/or the images, so you may need to do a hard refresh in your browser.

Yeah, that would be best i think. Would it be simple to have it part of the permissions table, for groups / users?

thanks a lot Bruce ... can you use ajax for rating system ??? just like this picture :  you can use this script : http://www.masugadesign.com/the-lab/scripts/unobtrusive-ajax-star-rating-bar/or this one : "" http://demo.dmwtechnologies.com/PHP/AjaxRatingCounter/This package can be used to implement a star rating system that uses
AJAX to update the average rate without reloading the rate page after a
user has voted. ""

It already uses AJAX for the rating system. It was to use AJAX when you click the stars or the radio button, but instead a 'Vote' button was added to prevent antecedently clicking on the incorrect rating.
Once you click the 'Vote' button it uses AJAX to submit the response and update the drop down, so the page doesn't have to be reloaded.
The system you mention would need quite a large star image inorder to correctly select the rating amount.
