Is there an equivalent to this tag? I’d like to display some text if there are not reviews submitted for a particular entry, i.e. ‘be the first to review blah blah blah...’
If it’s not working for you then you’re invoking your ratings tag inside a weblog entries tag and it’s getting scooped up. Try placing your rating code in a separate template, embed that template into where you need it, passing variables across. You should be able to avoid variable collisions this way. It’s what I do all the time with that rascally module.
