Custom page

    Hi, is it possible to use the plug-in without using the post id as the defining factor to store/display ratings?
    For example.. I have a single page with a custom template used as a player profile, the page is populated from a database based on a $_GET from an id in the url.
    eg, wordpress/player/?id=1 wordpress/player/?id=2 wordpress/player/?id=3 etc etc.
    As far as WordPress is concerned, whichever player I’m displaying would technically have the same page id number so the plug in would always display the same rating.
    Is there a way to store and retrieve a rating by defining a custom variable instead of using the page/post id?

    Plugin supports adding custom rating types (they don’t need to be posts, pages, terms, comments…). And for such rating types you can provide your own ID’s. You can register your own rating type: https://support.dev4press.com/kb/article/register-new-rating-entity-and-types/ and use it instead of basic post/page or some other type.

    Thanks for the speedy response. That’s perfect, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
    I have a small follow up question if possible, is it also possible to add some sort of name to the ratings apart from the ID’s? Displaying a widget/shortcode of the highest rated items in the new custom type I’ve created just displays a list of item 1, item 2, item 3….
    Is there any way for me to add a title or description to show in the table?
    Don’t worry if not as I’m aware this is something the plug-in probably isn’t really designed for

    You can modify display template any way you want and display whatever you need. If you register your own rating type you would need to provide display data for it anyway. Templates are 100% customizable.
