I try to implement rating feature in paypal plugin to allow users to rate products and give review.
Integration is simple, and involves calling just one function that will return the HTML to incorporate into paypal plugin page.
The call is something like :
if (function_exists('RATING_display_rating'))
{
$product->set_var('rating', RATING_display_rating('paypal_' . $A['id'], 'paypal', $A['id'], 1, 5, CONST_FLAG_DEFAULT_RATING ) );
}
/* end rating code */
where $A['id'] is my product id. I also need to customise my template. This simply require that I add {rating} wherever I wanted to have a rating appear in my products page.
Now I need to know how to handle some $_RATING_CONF?
/*
* Current supported types include staticpage, comment, story & autotagged
* If you have a new type that you would like to link properly and display
* a correct title use the following user sample below. For a new type you
* would change in the $_RATING_CONF variable the text "user" to what ever
* you called your type. A sample user type is included below.
*/
// For paypal plugin
$_RATING_CONF['rating_type_paypal'] = 'paypal';
$_RATING_CONF['rating_type_paypal_url'] = '/' . $_PAY_CONF['paypal_folder'] . '/product_detail.php?product=';
$_RATING_CONF['rating_type_paypal_title'] = "SELECT name FROM " . $_TABLES['paypal_products'] . " WHERE id=";
If I add these $_RATING_CONF in the plugins/rating/config.php file it is working... but do I need to update the rating plugin to allow the paypal plugin to work with this feature.
Does another way exists?

If $_RATING_CONF is global, you should be able to add those anywhere at runtime.

Hi Wayne,
I do not find the way do assign my values in the paypal plugin and make them available for the rating plugin
global $_RATING_CONF;
$_RATING_CONF['rating_type_paypal'] = 'paypal';
$_RATING_CONF['rating_type_paypal_url'] = '/' . $_PAY_CONF['paypal_folder'] . '/product_detail.php?product=';
$_RATING_CONF['rating_type_paypal_title'] = "SELECT name FROM " . $_TABLES['paypal_products'] . " WHERE id=";

Hey Cordiste,
In the upcoming release the new integration will not require any file modificaitons beyond adding the rating template variable to theme files. As long as the plugin which needs ratings, supports the appropriate properties from the function plugin_getiteminfo_xxxx (see the staticpage plugin for example). I haven't completely finish writing this part yet for the rating plugin but it should work.
For now if you feel you need to (to make it easier for users) why don't you add the required code for the paypal plugin to the rating plugin version 2.3.0 and bump it to version 2.3.1?

Tom,
Ok I will make a 2.3.1 release. I fixed few bugs in the admin area and changed the color of the stars. I installed the plugin on geeklog.fr to allow stories rating as a demo.
I also added :
{
switch ($templatename) {
case 'storytext':
case 'featuredstorytext':
case 'archivestorytext':
$sid = $template->get_var('story_id');
$template->set_var('rating', RATING_display_rating($sid, 'story', $sid, 1, 5, CONST_FLAG_RATING_AS_STARS ) );
break;
}
}
Like this, the only things users need to make is adding the rating template variable to theme files.
