Whoa   I have no idea how that would have happened.  All I can imagine is that maybe you installed the mod multiple times without ever uninstalling it ..?  If so, I would try uninstalling all instances of it (until it's gone -- however many uninstalls that takes) and then install it once.

Although i likethe mod i think something is wrong.. i install/uninstalled the mod a few times because it didn't work and now it works but not 100%..

As I said I started with the 2 board files from a fresh SMF install and edited...still the same

seems to work on my testboard but I get the following in the forum error log:

8: Undefined index: is_rated

Sorry you had issues Bobby, but it is standard practice to "back your sh*t up" before installing a mod -- and I would say all the more so when dealing with a ghetto-modded mod like this one   I'll look into the problems everyone seems to be having and see if I can figure out what the issues are ...but no promises.

Alright -- I just conducted the following baseline test:

• downloaded and installed a fresh "SMF 1.1.rc2 install"
• downloaded "Topic_Rating_11RC2_alpha1.zip" and loaded it into package manager - no errors reported
• "Applied" the mod - again, no errors reported
• got a single new option for each board, "Enable ratings for this board"
• setting a rating worked as expected; rating was recorded and appeared correctly after being set
• ratings appeared correctly on the forum, both in the board view and in the individual topic view
• uninstall worked fine - no errors, all related interfaces (board admin, board view, topic view) were back to pre-install state

I don't know what to tell those of you having trouble, other than "it worked for a fresh install of the latest 1.1rc2."  I know that won't make b0bby any happier, but I can't do much more at this point.  However, since I hate the prospect of sounding like a support guy that just says "works for me" and throws his hands up, if those of you having issues could report:

• exactly what version of SMF you're trying this on (yes, I know it says it's for 1.1rc2, but doublecheck)
• what other mods you have installed (if any) -- might allow us to pin down a conflict; this case is my prime suspect at the moment
• if you've made any by-hand customizations to any of the source files

..then I and anyone else interested in this mod will have a better shot at helping you get it working on your forum.

Again, sorry to those of you having issues.  I'll do what I can to help out.

login as test//test and try to rate:)

The alpha1 version is working fine with the default theme.
But if you try to use it with "Babylon" them for esample you don't see nothing, also in the board.
Instead with "Aim" theme you can see the rate on the board index but you can't rate the topic.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thank you

andreasa:
usually mods are written to work with the default theme only and only makes changes in that theme, then you will have to make it work with the theme you use.  There is a tutorial here somewhere on 'how to make mods work with themes'   


RMorris:  I have this on my testforum and it works fine so far.  I have the half star.gif installed too.  Someone seems to have rated a thread with 3 1/2 stars but there is not a half star option in the ratings dropdown list so how do you rate by 1/2 star  eg how do I rate a thread 4 1/2 if the only option is 1,2,3,4,5 ?

There's no way (currently) to directly assign something a "half" rating -- the topic will show up with a half rating when it's aggregate rating is a "half".  So if two people ranked a topic and one gave it a 3 and one gave it a 4, the aggregate ranking will be 3.5, which would result in the half-star graphic being used to represent the 0.5.

Sorry for taking so long to deal with these issues - I spent the past couple of weeks working on upgrading the Redirection Boards mod. Now that I've pretty much finished that (except for fixing any new bugs that pop up), I'll work on fixing this one.

hey, i have installed the updated mod und all were succesfull but
i have a german theme and the option seems to be invisible


does anyone know what i could do ?

[rmorris]

encarnizado - quoting an earlier post:

usually mods are written to work with the default theme only and only makes changes in that theme, then you will have to make it work with the theme you use.  There is a tutorial here somewhere on 'how to make mods work with themes'

I don't have a link to the tutorial the poster was speaking of, but I can verify this information: the mod install will only modify the default SMF theme.  If you want to just be sure the install worked, temporarily set your theme to the SMF default and see if the mod works -- if so, then you'll need to manually code the source file changes to the theme that you want the mod to work with.

updated: found the tutorial/forum post -- hope it helps

I seem to have a problem with ./index.php?action=manageboards;sa=board;boardid={id} not properly detecting whether or not a board should have the Ratings enabled.

Boards with the mod disabled have the tick in the checkbox, and boards with the mod enabled doesn't, so you have to tick/untick the box every time you make changes to a board.
