Re: Re: Article Ratings are not showing up

posts: 3665 United States

A few things...

First: I think you may be confusing some of Tiki's features. You mention wanting to rate "articles" but in your posts you mention configuring Wiki rating and Comment ratings. You also talk about embedding an article in a (wiki) page — which would you want to rate, the overall page or just the article wihin the page?  If you're still in the planning stages of your project, now's the time to make sure you're doing what you actually want to be doing.

Second: For articles, there are two types of ratings... one where  the author assigns a rating to the article (for example, if you're writing a movie review and youwant to give the article "4 stars." The rating is static and cannot be changed. The other type of rating (which I think is what you want) is one in which the readers can review/vote on the article. Here, the rating is dynamic and may change over time as more and more people rate the content (similar to Yelp.)

Finally (and most importantly) it appears that the Article rating is broken in Tiki 12.x (see the bug report: http://dev.tiki.org/item5275). You might try testing the latest development build to see if has been fixed (though there's no update in the bug, so I wouldn't hold my breath. You could also contact the bug filer to see if there's a patch or fix he's working on.

A workaround would be to simply create a Tiki poll (or even a tracker if you want to be a bit facier), and then embed the poll to the article/page. This is the "old" way to rate pages and doesn't have all the bells  & whistles of the current rating system, but it should work.

Alternatively, you could try using one of the newer Tiki versions (13.x or the upcoming 14.0) to see if the bug was fixed.
