I have no idea why this is so hard…

This is how I want it displayed:

4.5 Article1 name
4.0 Article2 name
3.5 Article3 name

etc… etc…

Now, if I use {exp:rating:rankings} I can’t seem to get the rating to display. Is there a variable that works for this?

Alternatively, if I use {exp:rating:stats} nothing shows up at all unless I put entry_id="{entry_id}” into the tag but because this is my index page, and I don’t want it to be just 1 entry, I get a PHP error (which makes sense).

Oh, and P.S. yes, {exp:rating:entries} works but it will show the same post multiple times. I am looking for the top posts, in order of rating and that’s it.

Would someone mind sharing how I can achieve what I want here?

Thanks!

Hi Travis,

I apologize for the documentation…
This coding below should be what you’re after:

Hey man,

Thanks for the reply.

We’re almost there.

If I use that code, I get the following PHP error (it goes away if I remove the entry_id="{entry_id}" by the way):

Is that something to worry about or should I just hide notice errors in PHP?

No, I wouldn’t hide the PHP errors… it could result in some other scripts not working properly

Is sum_1 or 1 a custom field in your Ratings Module?

Nope, the only field is “rating”.

Cheers,

Which version of Rating do you have installed? Have you upgraded recently?

Also, if you don’t have any live data (only test data) for the Ratings Module, the easiest way to fix would probably be De-Installing the Module, re-uploading the files, then Re-Installing

The latest version is the only version I have ever had installed. Just purchased it 2 days ago.

I don’t have any live data, so I will try removing and installing it again, and let you know if that fixes the problem.

Scratch that.

When I installed it, I removed the “review” field since all I wanted was the rating. I did not however, change the field order on “rating” back to 1 so it was still looking for a field in #1 position. You might want to add a catch in there since field order shouldn’t really matter if there is only 1 field

Haha, yeah, sounds a little clunky to me (but then again, I’m not a developer and there could have been a good reason for it.... or not)

I’ll will document this

Thanks for the sharp eye… so it’s all fixed now?

New problem…

It is working… let me say first, I just can’t seem to get the ordering working right.

Here’s my code (I am using {exp:weblog:entries} because I need to use {related_entries id=""} if there is another way, I am all ears!)

The listings are displayed like so:

Cream Ale by Sleeman
4.0 Coopers Cold by Coopers
3.5 Rickard’s White by Rickard’s
4.0 Steam Whistle by Steam Whistle

2 problems.

1) The first entry, with no rating at all is shown.
2) They are most definitely not in order

Any ideas?

Thanks man!

Put the orderby="rating" sort="desc” parameters on the Rating:Stats loop

It’s weird… that doesn’t affect order at all.

The only time I can get the order to be changed is via the {exp:weblog:entries} tag, but I can’t order by rating in that tag so I am kind of stuck…

It orders correctly without the Weblog Entries loop though right?

Turns out, if I change the order of the tags to:

{exp:rating:rankings}
{exp:weblog:entries}

Everything works like it should.

Thanks man!

Travis,

Your initial issuehere (field order in CP) should now be corrected in the release of Rating 2.2.0, now available for download.
