Where might I find a ranking script like I see on so many of these showcase sites?
http://www.cssglance.com/

I’ve looked all over and haven’t really seen anything.  I thought that maybe EE had a plugin or extension?

Thanks!

Try Solspace’s Rating.

Ah, that’s great!  Are there any other scripts I could possibly use?  Not that this one isn’t suitable… I’d just like to see all my options before implementation.

There’s also Robin’s EZ Rate, but I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure how well it works.
Most of her things are great though, so it should be good.

Try searching the forums for Rating and Voting and something else might pop up.
Good luck!

Solspace also has a ratings module.  In fact, pretty much anything you see that you know is not native in EE could probably be found at the Solspace site.  :D

That is an exaggeration of course but not too far off the mark.  Mitchell is a machine (or a contraption to be more exact.)

Great…

Do you have any examples of the Solspace Rating system already implemented? 

Robin’s looks great, but I noticed it didn’t lock the rate bar after submission.  For example, if you go back tot this site and click on the stars (http://www.cssglance.com/).... after submission, you can’t rank that particular item anymore.  Do you know off hand if the Solspace version supports this?

Perhaps another option. Doesn’t look so fancy,  though.

Great… thanks for thanks for all the recommendations!

I found this, but it looks like it uses a database.  I wonder if it will mesh with EE?  Any suggestions, or has anyone used this script before?

This scripted worked really well with EE.  I just installed it separately and inserted the {id} tag from EE into the rating code.

Hi earph,

can you give as a hint what you’ve changed to get it done on every weblog-entry? i got it working here, but only on one weblog-entry and this is fixed for all entries.

cheers

Macpro…

Add the “entry_id” tag to your script.  Check it out:

<?php echo rating_bar('{entry_id}',5); ?>

Thank you it works, but it seems, that it doest’t recognize the AJAX-submit if there any. I got a reload if I submit a rating.
And it seems that the script doesn’t set a cookie, or i’m wrong? only the users IP is stored.

Yes, I think the IP is stored and that’s how it determines if they user has already voted or not.  So, it’s just not accepting the “vote” or “submit”?  That sounds like a path issue.  Unfortunately I resolved my path issues by trial and error, so you’ll probably have to do the same.

Did you see the path issue section here http://www.masugadesign.com/the-lab/scripts/unobtrusive-ajax-star-rating-bar/?

Hey earph

How did you get this to work with EE? None of the php files paths are work.
I was told to put them in a absolute path but still no luck. Could you give a quick description of your process. As far as where you placed the files.
