New Snippet: AJAX Star Rating Snippet

[SourDough]

This was at the request of user Soki in thread http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,10332.msg64477.html#msg64477. 

This snippet provides a way to display just one of the questions/ratings from the AJAX Star Rating module on a page type code, or from the template index.php file.  This snippet does not allow voting to take place, it is for display purposes only.  If there is enough interest, I can rewrite to allow voting. 

There is a readme included, but basic usage follows:

From template index.php:
<?php pullRatingSnip(); ?>

From a code module:
pullRatingSnip();

For a more customized output, you can pass over serveral parameters to the function explained below.

<?php pullRatingSnip($question_id,$showfive,$showperc,$showtotal,$showdetail); ?>

Options:
//question_id    id of the question (defaults to 1)
//showfive       shows how many votes out of five, 0 for no, 1 for yes (default yes)
//showperc       shows vote percentage, 0 for no, 1 for yes (default yes)
//showtotal      shows total votes, 0 for no, 1 for yes (default yes)
//showdetail         whether to show question detail, 0 for no, 1 for yes (default no)


Hope this is useful.

Hey this is THE solution I was looking for so long. I didn't know if I was going to find it till the end of the new year in.

Hopefully I did. Thanks anyway!

FYI, this snippet only works with the original version of the AJAX Star Rating, not with the "improved" version by Johnp.

anyone already made a droplet from the snippet?  would be very handy

Love the snippet! Here's a new question for you all:
I have a bunch of pages and all can be rated.
Now, on the homepage I want links to the 5 pages with the highest scores. Just the highest, not through difficult math of how many people voted versus scores..just plain scores.

Can anyone help?
Regards,
Alex

I created  a new page, and in code module inserted pullRatingSnip(); and nothing happened ??

what am I doing wrong?

Which version of Ajax Star Rating are you using?  What errors are you seeing?  Set error reporting to E_ALL.  Additionally, this snippet was written by me to work with the original release of this module.  I suspect you are using the version of the module re-released by JohnP (aka cnwb).

Hi Nick,

I downloaded and instaled the snippet from the first post (version 1.0). Then added

Code:

pullRatingSnip();

in a code section on some page. Here is error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function fetchRow() on a non-object in I:\WebsiteBaker Portable1_2\htdocs\inf\modules\AJAX_Star_Rating_Snippet\include.php on line 36

al best,
ivan

This snippet works in conjunction with the module in my first post here:  http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,10332.0.html.  You need to install the module before AND the snippet for the snippet to work.

Hi,

just followed your instructions and page rating was working, but the snippet didn't. I examined the code from the snipped as Error I mentioned above appeared again, and find that it was wrong table name to call:

Code:

mod_ajaxstarratting_question
mod_ajaxstarratting_rating

instead

mod_ajaxsurvey_question
mod_ajaxsurvey_rating

It must be some older version

Also in page rating, I added an extra line in backend (see attached picture) for Id (it will be handy if you have much questions to rate, when you call the snippet..)

I also zipped "fixed" page rating (includes new rating_functions.ph p ), and the snippet..

cheers

I played a little with this snippet, and made a top rated list 

This code should be included in include.php file just before ?> tag

Code: (include.php)

function Show_Top_Rating($count = 5, $title = "Top rated:", $show_title = 1, $show_totals = 0, $ShowRatingStars = 1, $ShowOutOfFive = 1, $ShowRating = 1, $ShowVotes = 1 ) {
    global $database;
    $tbl_counter = TABLE_PREFIX ."mod_ajaxsurvey_question";
    $tbl_pages = TABLE_PREFIX ."pages";
    $pagelist = $database->query("SELECT sum(question_id) as total, r.page_id, p.page_title, p.menu_title, p.link, question_id as question
        FROM $tbl_counter r
        INNER JOIN $tbl_pages p on (p.page_id = r.page_id)
        GROUP BY page_id
        ORDER BY total ASC");
    $inner_count = 0;
    if ($pagelist->numRows() > 0){
        echo "<div class=\"ajaxTopRatingTitle\"><h3>$title</h3></div><div class=\"ajaxTopRatingBox\"><ul>";
        while(($res = $pagelist->fetchRow()) && ($inner_count++ < $count)) {
   
        if ($ShowOutOfFive == 1) { $OutOfFiveEcho = ' ,Rated <span id="outOfFive_'.$res['question'].'" class="out5Class">'.outOfFiveSnip($res['question']).'</span>/5'; } else { $OutOfFiveEcho = ''; }
        if ($ShowVotes == 1) { $ShowVotesEcho = ' ,<span id="percentage_'.$res['question'].'" class="percentClass">'.getVotesSnip($res['question']).'</span>'; } else { $ShowVotesEcho = ''; }
        if ($ShowRating == 1) { $ShowRatingEcho = ' (<span id="showvotes_'.$res['question'].'" class="votesClass">'.getRatingSnip($res['question']).'</span>)'; } else { $ShowRatingEcho = ''; }
        if ($ShowRatingStars == 1) { $ShowRatingStarsEcho = pullRating($res['question']); } else { $ShowRatingStarsEcho = ''; }

            if ($show_title == 1) {
                $TopRatedTitle = showQuestionTitle($res['question']); }           
            else if ( $show_title == 2) {
            $TopRatedTitle = $res['menu_title']; }
            else if ( $show_title == 3) {
            $TopRatedTitle = $res['page_title']; }


            echo "<li><a href=\"".page_link($res['link'])."\"";
            echo ">".$TopRatedTitle.$ShowRatingStarsEcho.$OutOfFiveEcho.$ShowRatingEcho.$ShowVotesEcho."</a></li>" ;
        }
        echo "</ul></div>";
    }
}

You can call the snippet with simple Show_Top_Rating(); or advanced call:  Show_Top_Rating(5,"Top rated pages:",2,1,1,1,1);

the parametars in snippet are:

Code:

$count = 5                    ---- shows number of items in list
$title = "Top rated:"       ---- Title text
$show_title = 1              ---- Shows title for list item: 1 = Question title, 2 = Menu title, 3 = Page title
$ShowRatingStars = 1      ---- Displays stars
$ShowOutOfFive = 1        ---  Shows: Rated 5/5
$ShowRating = 1             ---- Shows: (100%)
$ShowVotes = 1             ----  Shows: 1 time vodet

Also there are two css classes: ajaxTopRatingTitle and ajaxTopRatingBox which you can style in your template css file..

cheers
