    Hey Chasil,

    I wonder if it is possible to use shortcode within the shortcode of Universal Star Rating. To explain what I want to do: I′ve made some custom fields with Pods and want to use these entries as values for your plugin.

    This results because Universal Star Rating lacks a possibility to enter the values when creating a new post and I want to make it as easy as possible for the users.

    Hope you understand what I′m trying to explain and that you can help.

    Thanks a lot,

    Sascha

  • I understand this is an old post but I had to address the same requirement for a client. I used Advanced Customer Fields plugin to create custom field “rating” so the client can input a number value for the rating when creating new posts. Then I edited the template to include the rating next to the post title.

    <?php $rating_value = get_field('rating');
$rating_shortcode = "[usr={$rating_value}]";  ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode( $rating_shortcode ); ?>

    The end product will be more comprehensive than this here (will include different categories) but I wanted to give others something to work off of.

    Hi all!

    @saschavalentin: There is nothing implemented inside USR. For now you have to use other plugins/methods as a workaround.

    @ypark: Thanks for your aid. I like the idea of helping each other with their issues ??

    Regards
