Star Rating for Reviews is a simple WordPress plugin that inserts pretty rating stars based on the score you assign using intuitive, inline [rating:] tags. It can also calculate and output overall ratings for you based on all previous scores you have assigned, useful for reviews that have multiple categories or an album review where each track is assigned a score.
This plugin supports storing rating data into your WordPress database. These data can then be retrieved by functions provided to output a list of reviews, sortable by date, post title or rating scores. Random reviews function and single post function (to be used in WordPress loop) are also provided, see Usage section for detailed description of these functions.

Presentation
Once installed, you can add rating stars to your posts by using [rating:] tags.
By default, this will be interpreted as 3.5/5, as shown in the rating stars generated. Default denominator can be changed via options detailed in the next section. Even though this tagging style is simple, it might not be future proof when someday you decided to change the default denominator to say 10 (for whatever reason). In this case 3.5 will be interpreted as 3.5/10, which is very different compared to 3.5/5. Once you start using this tagging style, make sure you are not going to change the default denominator in the future. :)
“3/4″ will generate a “3 out of 4 stars” rating and “2/8″ will generate “2 out of 8 stars” and so on. This will continue to work as long as the denominator is not larger than 20. Beyond that, the score will be normalized and display in the default 5 stars system, as shown in the next example.
The “Rating:” prefix you can see in all examples above is the default prefix, which you can remove easily to show just the stars or add in your own custom CSS class by changing some options. More information about this in the Options section.
Overall rating:
Automatically calculated overall rating based on previous scores can be inserted using the following tag style:
Similar to the first example, this overall rating will be represented in the default 5 star rating system. It is possible to force the overall rating to be outputted in different number of stars by using the following tag style:
The “Overall Rating:” is again, the default prefix, which can be changed via options. For more information, see Options.
Custom images:
First of all, the default star image used is taken from the excellent Silk icon set. These png icons support different background colours via png transparency. However, you can still use your own star images by replacing the 3 images included in the “star-rating” plugin folder, namely “star.png”, “halfstar.png” and “blankstar.png”. File extensions can be changed via options if desired.
For your information, “tiny-star.png”, “tiny-halfstar.png” and “tiny-blankstar.png” are only used by special functions that output list of reviews based on stored data in the database. Feel free to replace them with your own images as well if desired.
Text only output:
By default, this plugin will output text only ratings for your RSS feeds and use graphical output when someone is reading the post on your site. This is, in my opinion, the optimal choice since some RSS readers do not support images. However, if you like you can output images for your RSS feeds too, or oppositely, output text only ratings for both RSS and posts displayed on your site. Please refer to the Options section if you want to make these changes.
Data (for advanced users)
Database writing is turned off by default. In order to use these advanced features, you will need to manually turn it on by changing the option values, see Options for more details. If you are not interested in this feature, you should skip this section.
Custom fields
If database writing is turned on, this plugin will parse your document searching for rating tags and store the overall rating score into a custom field called “rating” when you edit or save your blog post. The name of the custom field can be changed via options to prevent conflict with other plugins. The reason why custom field is used instead of a new database table is the ease of implementation and the fact that most people write reviews occasionally. The downside of this is when uninstalling this plugin, you will need to manually remove those “rating” entries within the custom field table.
To check if this plugin is doing its job, once you turned on the database writing, go to edit one of your older posts which already used the rating tags (or simply insert the rating tags into any post if you’re new to this plugin) and choose “Save and Continue Editing”. Now, check the custom field near the bottom of the editing panel to see if a new “rating” field has been added. If it’s there, congrats, this plugin is working properly; if it’s not, you might have forgotten to turn on the database writing option, or the rating tag is invalid. Feel free to post your questions here (with detailed explanation) if you can’t get this to work.
Once you turned on this auto insert feature, you can still disable it for specific post by putting [rating:none] anywhere in your blog post, preferably at the bottom for tidyness.
Functions
4 different functions are provided in this plugin that allow you to output a list of reviews based on date, rating score, or randomly selected. These functions uses “rating” custom field data to retrieve and sort the reviews. You need to either turn on autometa (see Options) or manually put these rating in yourself.
1. sr_getreviews()
sr_getreviews($limit, $orderby, $order, $usestar, $prefix, $suffix)
$limit
- number of reviews to be returned

2. sr_getrandom()
sr_getrandom($limit, $usestar, $prefix, $suffix)
See the explanation above for each parameter.

Acceptable value: PHP date format
Default value: “M j, Y”
$limit
- number of reviews to be returned
Acceptable value: any integer
Default value: “0″
Note: “0″ limit implies no limit i.e. retrieve all available reviews
<?php sr_listreviews(date,DESC,5,"M j, Y",10); ?>

4. sr_getsingle()
sr_getsingle($post_id, $usestar, $prefix, $suffix, $size)
This function is intended to be used within the WordPress Loop. You can put this within the loop to display rating score or stars in categories, tags, or main page for each posting. See examples: categories, tags, main page.

Acceptable value: $post->ID
$prefix, $suffix
- prefix, suffix to be added before and after the ratings code returned
Acceptable value: any valid XHTML tags or plain text
Default value: ” (empty)
$size
- the size of stars, can be normal or tiny
Acceptable value: 0, 1 (0 for tiny stars, 1 for normal stars)
Default value: 0
For $usestar, see the sr_getreviews().
Customization
Starting from version 0.4, a default CSS is imported into the WordPress header, which I hope will work nicely with your blog theme. If not, feel free to open the CSS and edit it or disable the CSS import by setting $sr_mycss to 1, which will remove all the default styling for CSS classes associated with this plugin.
By default, ratings and reviews returned by listing functions are hardcoded with special CSS classes, namely “sr-review” for the review permalink and “sr-rating” for the ratings returned, which can be either numerical percentage or star images.
You might want to take a look at another plugin I’ve written called “MyCSS”, which allows you to attach and edit custom stylesheet that’s independent of the blog theme you’re using. This makes it convenient and easy to organize theme independent CSS classes such as those used in plugins, saving you the trouble of appending these classes into your theme’s core CSS everytime you change a theme.
Options
Hopefully this plugin will work as desired in an “out of the box” way so that you don’t need to change anything. However, several extra options are still provided for those of you who would like to have it your way. :)
Since this plugin is still in its early stage, setting options in the WordPress admin panel is not supported yet. For now, you will need to open up the php file using either your favourite text editor or WordPress built-in plugin editor to change some of the variables you can find near the top of the code.
$sr_limitstar: globally set star count, e.g. putting 5 will ALWAYS generate your score using the 5 star rating system, put 0 to disable this feature$sr_defaultstar: default denominator when not explicitly specified in your tags$sr_prefix: custom prefix for normal ratings$sr_allprefix: custom prefix for overall ratings$sr_suffix: custom suffix, leave blank unless you want to close html tags$sr_ext: file extensions for custom star images, e.g. gif, jpg, png$sr_usetext: text only output settings, accepted values are 0, 1 and 20: images for posts and feeds
1: images for posts, text for feeds
2: text for all$sr_mycss: using your own CSS? if yes, put in 1 to disable default CSS import$sr_cuttitle: shorten post title to specific amount of character, put 0 to disable title cut off
The following are advanced options, mainly to turn on the functionality of storing ratings into database as custom field values:
$sr_autometa: 0 to turn off database writing, 1 to turn it on, this feature is disabled by default (it’s stable, I’m just leaving the choice up to advanced users)$sr_metakey: meta key for custom field, change this if there’s conflict with other plugins

Hi there, I love your plugin, works like a charm… I wondered if it’s possible to align the rating section without messing with the PHP script? Right now it’s left aligned, but I would like it to be centered.
As far as I found out there’s no CSS class defined for that section, so I would have to wrap the [rating]-code in a centered paragraph, but that’s a rather complicated workaround to do it every time I want to insert a rating.
If this isn’t possible right now and you plan to further develop this nifty plugin, this feature would certainly be a plus. It could look like this: [rating:3/5:center] and be wrapped up in a centered paragraph with a custom CSS class such as rating-section or something the like.
If it is already possible to center the rating, please forgive my stupid question - it’s kinda late and I just can’t get myself to read all that bunch of documentation. :)
Keep on rocking,
Profashionelle ;-)

i have the same problem as hugo’s problem.
any ideas?
by the way my WP-PostRatings plugin is on deactiveded.
Hugo // Dec 28, 2007 at 2:11 pm
Replying to myself: there actually isn’t a conflict between this plugin and WP-PostRatings. After further investigation, it seems due to either a WP-PostRatings packaging bug, or to a Wordpress bug. Either way, Star Rating for Reviews has nothing to do with it.
Hugo // Dec 27, 2007 at 9:06 pm
It seems that I can’t have this plugin detected if WP-PostRatings was installed beforehand. And if the order is reversed, it’s WP-PostRatings that doesn’t show up. There seems to be a conflict somewhere.

Hi there. I love your plugin - see what I’m doing with it on my site.
One problem. In IE7 and Opera, using the listreviews function seems to screw up the widget formatting in cutline (the 3-column version). I’m using Exec PHP to call the function and have left a question on his blog too.
Trying to figure out who’s causing the problem.. ExecPHP or this plugin. In firefox it works flawlessly and looks great, however my first inclination is that the plugin might be the problem because in IE7.. the text seems pretty tiny compared to the rest of the page and also compared to firefox. I’ve tried disabling the CSS feature with no luck.
The workaround so far seems to be to put nothing BELOW the widget containing the listreviews function. If I move the widget up above my google ads, the top of the google ads widget will come across the whole page and cause a mess.
Any ideas? It sounds like a CSS issue maybe.. but Im obviously not figuring it out. =)
Here’s a screenshot of how it looks in IE7:
http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/b/2067409865894991995
In firefox it looks normal.. perfect text and no formatting issues.
When we’re done building the site we’ll be happy to give you a link and, god willing, shoot you a few bucks when we’re bought out by Google! heh.

But If I insert the code:

I don’t see rating star…
Any ideas?

The
$post->IDonly works in WordPress loop. Open your theme file that is used for outputting category page. Find something like:<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post();?>and
<?php endwhile; ?>The $post->ID should be valid within this 2 line of code.
Tyler
// Nov 3, 2007 at 10:26 pm
Thanks Eyn for your quick reply. Sorry for the
$post_id->ID. I meant to put in$post->ID. It was just something I tried. I did$post->IDfirst but it didn’t work. Only some of the reviews have the ratings code in it.http://www.twowordheap.com/flicks/flicks-reviews/waiting/
There’s one that does at the bottom of the post. I checked my Custom Fields and the info is there. I just can’t seem to get the stars to show up on my list of reviews.
Thanks!
eyn // Nov 3, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Tyler, I didn’t see any star rating in your actual review post, not sure if you have those rating data available in your WordPress database for the function to work. Anyway, instead of
$post_id->IDyou should go for$post->ID.Callum, this plugin is written from scratch by me, fyi it started out as a simple post function that changes rating tags into pretty rating star images but eventually data storing capability was added due to users’ requests. I do know about the “starred review” plugin you mention, but I believe this plugin has more focus on the “review” nature in the sense that every rated review is a blog post and hopefully you get to keep your readers on your blog!
btw, the current CSS styling rule and possibly the XHTML markup I used for this plugin is likely not the best. I already found out some display problem in Firefox 1.0, probably some older browser as well. Also the thead gradient in the review table does not show up in IE7, if someone has any idea how to improve the CSS please share your solution here. :)

First off, I’ve been using this plugin for quite a few months now and it’s great! Thank you. The new list feature looks fantastic.
Next, the problem. Now that I’ve updated to a version that will work with version 2.3 of WordPress, I need to re-add the code to my template to call the single review function. I am not a programmer of ANY kind so this is probably a silly mistake, but I cannot get my code to work. This is what I’ve tried…
<?php sr_getsingle($post_id->ID,5,"","",1); ?>Nothing shows up on my site. I still get the star reviews in the actual post but I’d like for it to show up on my “Flick Reviews” page. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

Rob
// Oct 23, 2007 at 11:10 am
Nick, to get the output on a page, you need to use the custom fields (see above and read very carefully). This allows you to enter a value of 0-100 in the field “rating” on the Write page of a post. Then you can do what you want. See my example page:
http://www.electrolund.com/reviews/reviews-rating
At the moment, there’s not an option to sort this page by review or date or alphabetical. What I’ve done as a workaround is create two nearly identical template pages, one sorts by rating, descending order (the first link above), the second by date posted, descending order:
http://www.electrolund.com/reviews/reviews-date
Hope this helps.

I disagree about it working. Neither 0.3.5 nor 0.3 works for me with WP 2.3, using Sandbox and Shades of Gray.
The problem that you can see on my site is that the ratings are being shown for some posts that do not have any ratings. I only ever put ratings on one category, and those posts, which are also duplicated, are not in that category and do not have ratings.
I have no idea what the problem might be. any suggestions gratefully received.
I loved this plugin under WP2.1 but now my sidebar looks silly.

Hi, I managed to get the plugin working and it’s really cool.
Just wondering if there is any way to get it working on pages, so I can create a page listing all reviews. If I’ve overlooked something, please let me know.
Also, any options for users to sort reviews by category/name would be most appreciated.
Thanks for the great plugin!

Hello,
I love your plugin and all the rich options you have developted. Are you planning on, or is there a way to get the top ratings for a single category of posts. For instance, a person might have three categories: tvs, radios, dvds … is there a way to get the top ratings in each of these?
Thanks!

After a little poking around the problem is in the template not the star plugin, some templates work in category view and some don’t. Any tips on what to look for to edit in the template so that it works on the category page. Thanks, -Jeff

There seems to be a bug in the plugin with the lastest version of wordpress. The stars show up on the front page but they don’t show up in a category view such as http://jeffh.net/index.php/category/reviews/soda-reviews/ and they do show up in the individual posts also.

Hello and thank you for your plugin.
Is there a way to insert the overall tag in the beginning of the review? What I want to do is show an exerpt of the post on my front page with an overall rating, then if users choose to read the full review they’ll get the detailed ratings as well.
Thanks!
PS When I try to do that right now, I am getting a blank rating (0 stars) and a PHP error “division by zero”.
