I love this idea! I'm having the same basic problems as inciarco. On my board, I rated my Video Production forum a 5, but the stars show up in my PowerPoint forum. If I try to rate the Video Production forum again, it tells me I've already voted. Something is crossed up somewhere.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

ChurchMedia - I confirmed it on your site, am now trying to duplicate it on mine.

What version of vB is that?

EDIT - I've found some similar looking behavior when rating is enabled for guests. Were you logged in or not when you tried this?

I've haven't managed to duplicate placing the vote in the wrong forum, even on your site. But I found why it doesn't record in the db for guests, and why guests will get that "you have already voted" when it's not showing up. That's fixed, I'm testing the fix now and should have it uploaded ASAP.

I'll register on your site and see if I can duplicate the "wrong forum" thing.

Now that you mention Permissions, I haven't seen any Options to Set which Usergroups can Use the Ratings!!

Would be Great to Set those Usergroups Permissions, perhaps Listed in a TextBox and Separated by Commas!!

I Tested the Ratings with my Admin User in my Test Forum!!

My Best Regards!!

As per the README, in the Configuration section:

For forum and usergroup permissions, forum rating follows the existing "Allow thread rating" options. So if thread rating is enabled for a forum, the forum itself can be rated, subject to the usergroup settings. Usergroups who can't rate threads in a given forum won't be able to rate the forum itself either. Everyone can see current rating values for ratable forums.

And in the To Do section:

1) Add separate forum rating permissions, rather than inheriting thread rating permissions. The reason I didn't do this to start with is I'm still looking for an upgrade safe way of adding forum permissions.

Great, Thanks for Clarifying that!!

I think is better to Inherint the Permissions, so that the Admins can choose which Forum to Rate and which one Not!!

Perhaps if an Additional Option could be set for each Forum, independent to the Rating of the Threads, would be Nice too, but as you say, perhaps for other Update of this Mod mor in the Future; for now you've made a great choice inheriting the Rating Permissions!!

My Best Regards!!

FYI, it also obeys vB's "can change vote" option (under "Polls and Rating Options").

ChurchMedia - I've now seen the "rating thw rong forum" thing on your site, but can't duplicate it on 3.6.7pl1, 3.6.8 or 3.7b3. The only major difference I can see is that you are running vBSEO, so I'm wondering if that may be kerfuddling things?

I've loaded up a 3.6.7pl1 test forum, and although I found a couple of little issues. It seems to work fine. I've fixed the 'guest' rating issue.

So I don't think there's any problems with Forum Rating itself, but there may be some compatibility issues with vbSEO and/or some other mod.

However, until we get these things resolved, I'm setting the status of this mod back to Beta.

I was logged in when I rated the forums. I'm running 3.7 beta 4. I just tried it with vbSEO disabled and had the same problem. There could be another hack interfering.

Thanks for looking into it. I'll be looking forward to the next release!

I know this is pretty much an "is there gas in the tank?" kinda question, but are you sure you edited the right templates for the style you are using?

I can't offhand think of any other reason why absolutely nothing would show up if you've even vaguely got the right templates edited and that Enable Forum Rating option is set. I'd expect some kind of output, even if the table appearance was screwed up.

Even if you don't have "thread rating" enabled for any forums, it should at least show the "rating not allowed" image on FORUMHOME / FORUMDISPLAY.

Okay, check your PM's now, thanks alot man.

[cheesegrits]

TCE Killa - it was working fine on your site, the only issue is because your FORUMHOME template is heavily modified, such that you couldn't apply the edit for that template, it wasn't showing the "Rating" title. And because none of the forums were rated, no stars were showing.

Everything else is working fine. I rated a forum, the stars showed up, etc.

Yeah, I noticed now, it is in the Forum Display template, not my Forum Home lol. Have a look in there if you want. Sorry about that, you should have admin status again now. Thanks for the help man, appreciated.

OBTW, something I forgot to mention in the docs ... if you want, there is a "rating_notrated.gif" included in the ZIP. If you replace your existing ./images/rating/rating_0.gif with this file, instead of blank for no rating, you'll see a single greyed out star.

[cheesegrits]

NOTE - I tracked down the bug that was causing incorrect forums to get rated. I'm building a new ZIP, but for now to fix this, find the following line in the FORUMDISPLAY template (inside the third 'cheesegrits' edit):

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

... and delete it.

Version 1.02 has been uploaded.

Two bug fixes. 2 new ACP options (see updated screenshots for details).

Nice idea. Friend can you make an addon that makes let you choose different kind of ratings (up to five or to ten, for example, and with different kinds of images)?

I think it will be perfect, if you have a sport forum some images and up to five the rating, if you have a cinema forum, another kind of images and rating up to ten.

Great work friend
