rating for bbpress

Hi casesolver,

Yes bbForm just uses custom post types. In the plugin settings page, check the post types for bbForum (forum, topic and reply).

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Wow quick answer, thank you. I did so but nothing shows up, What am I missing? Kind regards of Anne

Did you set the rating form and rating results positions? Or are you using shortcodes? Are you testing locally or is there a Url I can look at?

Very kind your attention, I did not pay attention to the rating numbers and description, I just did, but still nothing, I am afraid it’s me but what..

Hi casesolver,

Here’s what I have found for bbPress compatibility:
bbPress does not allow shortcodes to be used
bbPress does some different stuff with filters (i.e. the_content) and so the rating form display position option does not work

So this plugin does not support bbPress. I will look at ways to support bbPress in the future.

Thank you
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
You are a prodessional! Thank you I spend days to find a star rating plugin and tried a lot as it’s important for the concept as a whole.

I would appreciate a mail when your plugin will be compatible with bbpress. For now you saved my time and strss factor.

Kind regards of Anne

Hi Daniel,

Is there any chance of getting bbPress support soon? I’d happily pay for the Pro version to get it.

Outside of native support, do you think it is possible to use the shortcodes and API to make it work?

The main feature I’m trying to figure out is to let visitors rate the topic when they post a reply, which is similar to posting a rating along with a comment on a post. I want to use star ratings, so maybe the rating can be submitted when they click a star and submit it via AJAX, but I definitely need to avoid a separate submit button.

I also want to show the visitor’s rating along with their reply and I want to show an aggregate rating of all topics in a forum, but I’m pretty sure I can figure out queries for that data.

Any info is much appreciated!

FYI: If you can make this work, you can surely beat the competition. The only other option I’ve found is Rating Widget which charges a small monthly fee or about $300, and that’s out of my price range. You could even release this as an addon to the Pro plugin.

Thanks,
Chris
