I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it soon but for now, I don’t know why the following code won’t work:

{exp:rating:form entry_id="{entry_id}" form_name="review" require_membership="no" admin_template="admin_template" anonymous="yes" status="open" return="{path=’rating/thanks’}"} 

<select name="rating" onchange="document.review.Submit()"> 
<option value="1">1</option> 
<option value="2">2</option> 
<option value="3">3</option> 
<option value="4">4</option> 
<option value="5">5</option> 
</select> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
{/exp:rating:form} 

that is, I get an error message: u
* A name is required to submit ratings.
* Your email address is missing.
I thought setting “require_membership” to “no” and “anonymous” to “yes” would allow anyone to rate an entry?

please advise.

thanks.

Make sure to use correct single/double quotes, and not “fancy” ones. This code is working for me:

{exp:weblog:entries limit="1"}

{title}

{exp:rating:form entry_id="{entry_id}" form_name="review" require_membership="no" admin_template="admin_template" anonymous="yes" status="open" return="{path='rating/thanks'}"} 

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="{screen_name}" /> 
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="{email}" /> 

<select name="rating" onchange="document.review.Submit()"> 
<option value="1">1</option> 
<option value="2">2</option> 
<option value="3">3</option> 
<option value="4">4</option> 
<option value="5">5</option> 
</select> 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />

{/exp:rating:form}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Hello:

Unfortunately, I’m also getting the error (“email required”) when one is not signed in.

Here’s how to replicate the error message:

1. Make sure you are NOT logged in the site,
2. ALSO, very importantly, make sure you are also NOT logged into even the EE control panel.
3. Now, goto vote. The error will appear, I believe.

I was also able to replicate the error Pirco above got, when I did the same thing, which is to leave out the following code:

<input type="hidden" name="name" value="{screen_name}" />
<input type="hidden" name="email" value="{email}" /> 

I would love to know if your able to replicate the error given the above steps, and if you have any insights on how to get around this.

(Perhaps, is there way to do an IF statement, so that if no email is available, to fill it with a fake one?)

Thank you kindly,
Alec

Alecander,

I would highly recommend requiring an email for rating submissions, but if you want to get around it, it’s an easy thing to do.

In your form, put a hidden field named ‘email’ with a valid email value above the actual visible email field. In the flow of the post variables that get sent to the server, if no email is submitted, there will still be the hidden field value picked up. If someone does submit an email, their value will override the hidden one since it occurs lower down in the post order.
