[Plugin: GD Star Rating] Fantastic – but HOW to query??

  • This is such an awesome plugin, and my multiple rating works like a charm! BUT – I have now tried for about one week to figure out how to query and list posts according to either the multi rating OR the thumbs value. But I jus’t cant fingure out what is wrong. My posts are listed upon when they are published. Despite that I am using this query:

    <?php query_posts('gdsr_sort=thumbs&sort_order=desc&showposts=5&cat=5,6'); ?>
<?php $posts = get_posts('numberposts=5&offset=0'); foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); .....etc...

    If I could I would have bought support now, but unfortunately I cannont now. And my entire site project has halted because of this issue. Please, anyone with an eagle eye??

  • You have article about this at official website, and trust me, it works just fine. Also, in the info files with the plugin there is a list of all supported query parameters.

    Thank you for your reply GDragoN, and thank you so much for the plugin. It really works excellent on my posts.
    But please, believe me. I have read my eyes red, I have scanned every dot on your site, I have googled to Mars, I have dived into the documentation-bible, but I really can’t understand how to implement a working query based upon rating of posts. What I posted seems as the way to do it, but it won’t work. Really.

    Try to use gdsr_order instead of sort_order. For some reason sort_order get’s ignore with gdsr variables.

    Thank you GDragoN. I did as you told. My query goes like this:

    <?php
   $cool = new WP_Query('gdsr_sort=rating&gdsr_order=desc&cat=5&posts_per_page=5');
	while ($cool->have_posts()) : $cool->the_post();
etc....

    But it doesn’t take any notice of post ratings.

    Did you activated the feature at all: Settings->Features->Plugin Features->Expand WP Query with new rating specific sorting and filtering?

    Your query uses standard rating results, so if the expand query is on, you don’t have any standard ratings to use.

    I have tried everything GDragoN, and it is simply impossible to sort posts. Perhaps this is an issue caused by my custom querys, I really don’t know.
    I don’t expect you to answere since support for this plugin is paid, and I bet you are really tired of endless stupid questions. I guess I just have to buy support in order to get this work, and I will, when I can. This plugin is just too good to let go of.

    I honestly have no idea why is not working. I use this in several projects I did recently, and it’s working. Maybe something is causing this to fail, some other plugin maybe.

    The really strange issue is that the widget sorts posts according to their voted value…
