[Plugin: Rate] the_rating() seems not to be clickable

Having the same problem here. Latest version of WP.

The comment rating stars are greyed out and unclickable.

I haven’t gone through the plugin in detail so this is posted as a hacky fix to get stuff working rather than an actual solution, but:

The problem appears to be that the javascript is looking for elements with a class of “needs-rating” or “form-rating”, but the stars are output inside a list with a class of just “rating”.

Add the “rating” class to the list of elements that the JS attaches to, and the stars start working again.

In detail:
/plugins/rate/js/rate.js

Line 6:
Change
var nratings, fratings;
to
var nratings, fratings, sratings;

Line 72:
Immediately below:
fratings = $('.form-rating li');
add the line:
sratings = $('.rating li');

Line 76:
Immediately below:
nratings.bind('mouseenter mouseleave', doHover).click(doRating);
add the line:
sratings.bind('mouseenter mouseleave', doHover).click(doRating);

Yes! this plugin works with this solution. thanks #wintermute77 .

That does appear to fix the issue for me too. I noticed it primarily in Chrome.

Now if only it would actually save the rating in the comment_karma field…
