User changing their rating?

    Hi guys. Thanks for the excellent plugin! I’m struggling to figure out a way to allow users to change their star rating later when they change their mind. I’m using it for a film website so have added the logged-in user’s rating stars toward the bottom of the page (see page I’ve linked to as an example) which is successfully showing the logged in user’s stars, but I was hoping they could use that to CHANGE their star rating but the stars are actually locked. Is there some parameters I can add somehow (a shortcode I can add) that would allow for this? I have users requesting this. Thanks! – Mike

    You can allow users to edit their reviews with the Review Authors addon.

    Thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I wasn’t specific enough. I currently have the Review Authors add-on running on my film review website and it works fine for users to edit entries when they have left both a star rating AND a written review. But what I have done using shortcode is created custom user profile tabs inside the ProfileGrid plugin, one tab where users can see only their written reviews and one tab to see only their star ratings. This way, when they click on their Reviews tab, each of their reviews shows the Edit button so that’s great. But when they click on their Ratings tab (star ratings only), it shows the ratings but they are static with no ability to edit. The shortcode I’m using for this Ratings tab inside ProfileGrid is:

    [site_reviews assigned_users=”user_id”? theme=”40429″ display=”20″ pagination=”ajax” filters=”filter_by_rating,sort_by” hide=”author,avatar,content,date,images,response,title”]

    Inside this Ratings tab, users can click on the title of each rated film, and that brings them to the film’s page, but their star rating doesn’t show on the film’s page either because I have also used shortcode (a tip provided by you or one of your co-workers) to hide on each film’s page all the reviews that are star ratings only and ONLY show the reviews that include a written portion. (I don’t want simple star ratings cluttering up the Reviews displayed for each film, but those ratings ARE incorporated into the average rating at the top of each film’s page.) The shortcode I’ve added to the bottom of each film’s page to display ONLY reviews that have written portions is:

    [site_reviews assigned_posts=”post_id”
    display=”10″ pagination=”ajax” filters=”sort_by” assigned_terms=”has-content” theme=”41644″ hide=”assigned_links,avatar,images,response” ]

    So, it seems my challenge is the fact that I am trying to isolate written reviews from reviews that only include a star rating. Do you have a suggestion for getting around this and allowing users to edit their star ratings even when they’re not attached to a written review? Hope this makes sense. Thanks. – Mike
