[Plugin: GD Star Rating]: Vote Waiting Message not displayed anymore

I will check out this. I am doing some bug fixing now, and I will investigate this also.

Thanks, looking forward to hear back from you! By the way, great how fast you always respond to forum posts.

Hi GDragoN. Did you maybe come across a solution for this?

Thanks,
Martin

At this point I am not sure, but this is not happening at my test website after all the changes in the past week. New 1.1.8 will be release tomorrow.

I installed the new version a few days ago – thanks for the great work on the plugin btw! – and have the same problem as mfuchs. I remember that the waiting message worked after I manually inserted the code where i wanted it. It seems in the meantime I somehow clicked anywhere to switch the waiting message+symbol off, but i don’t know where and how to undo it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I will check it, but I don’t have any problem with it, and I use integration function on one of my blogs. Anyway, I will check it.

thanks a lot!

I have found no problems with this function. Maybe the problem are parametrs for this function, so you might wanna check that. Plugins info contains list of all functions and parameters.

I found out that if I use the automatic insertion the waiting message works, same if I use [STARRATING] inside a post. The only way it won’t work is via <? php wp_gdsr_render_article(); ?> at the place I wanna use it inside the theme. Parameters for this function are $template and $echo, but i have no idea how to use them to influence the waiting message/icon.

The code executed with this function is exactly the same as for all the other ratings, and logging of the plugin execution shows exactly the same.

I will check again, hopefully I will solve this (if I find anything to solve) for the next version.

Thanks for that. What I find somewhat strange is that if I use both at the same time the manual rating code and automatic rating the new result is only shown at the automatic stars (with working waiting message then).

And I really don’t want to annoy you with silly questions in your spare time, but I got one last question: If I choose to have header, stars and rating text in one single line instead of three lines I assume to have “display:inline” added the CSS code. But in which file can I find the classes .ratingtext/.ratingblock/.ratingstars etc. that are given in the T2 templates?

There is an additional css file (rating.css in wp-content/gd-star-rating/css folder) that can be used to add any of the CSS you want (there is setting to load it on the settings panel). Whatever you add here will be used, and you don’t need to change anything in the plugin main folder, so that plugin updates will not delete your changes.

Yeah, I read that in the PDF guide, on your website and in the admin section of WP. But that doesn’t work at all.

I also tried it via

<div style="display:inline;">%RATING_STARS%</div>
<div style="display:inline;">%RATING_TEXT%</div>

in the standard ratings block template and even though other CSS-commands work fine (e.g. margin-left) it won’t put the result into one single line. I found out that the plugin automatically applies <div id=”gdr_text_a107″> (07 in that special case) which seems to override my “display:inline;”-input. But I don’t know where to find that gdr_text-id to modify it.

For inline to work, first div with rating stars should have a float: left. And no internal divs have display set, so it can’t interfere with styles you set like in your example.

Great, that works! Last problem (beside the waiting message – with which I can live):

If I try to show a list of best voted articles and comments with <?php wp_gdsr_render_widget(); ?> I get the error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: wp_gdsr_render_widget() in {…}/home.php on line 48

Is it possible that the function collides with another plugin? If you can help me with that last problem I will donate and put a banner on my site once I am finally online.

Thanks!
