Review template that stores in a db?

    Hello,

    I was looking for where, in the db, the ratings are stored? Does anyone know of a template that could be used for a review/ratings site, that stores ratings in a table – so that the rating/review data can be manipulated and tied to other tables?

    The templates I’ve viewed…ProReview, Score, InReview, Stareview – they all seem to store their review data…somewhere else ?? Or I just can find the table/field that it’s kept in.

    In particular I have a db from hotels base.org – which lists 500K hotels and reviews. I want to import that into a review site, hopefully using a template (since I can’t code a site by hand), and be able to access and manipulate that data from the front end (I can use join now’s to tie tables together).

    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Rob

  • You could probably find a plugin that will incorporate ratings or rankings into whatever theme you’re using. Just search the WordPress Plugins Directory for the term rating. The DB setup for each plug-in will be different; you’ll have to browse the tables in your MySql database to see what gets created once you install the plugin you’re going to use.

    Thanks Bruin – good idea! I was fixated on those templates ??

    Just an FYI – took Bruin’s advice and found, and installed, GD Star Rating.

    This is a VERY extensive plugin with tons of configurable elements. Although, right out of the box it worked just great.

    It also has about 8 tables – so if you’re looking to tie-in tables and fields in your review pages, this might be a good starting point.
