Rating issues with mutiple rating

What is your rating acces in cobalt type as comment? It should be only author.

"Who can rate" is set to "only article author". So $item->votes_result is ok for displaying record rating?

So if I as admin change rating it won't change because of rating access?

Perhaps. It checks record author. But in the code everything looks ok. I cannot reproduce. rating stores values.

Why is $rating['total'] calculated even if record has not yet been approved? Is there any other code that will show total rating only when record (which has rating) has been approved?

Yes, there is code. the same code in a new release I am going to make later today. I added a fix.

Or you always may add to condition 'r.published = 1'

Can you write here an example Sergey ?

I think it's like this:

<?php $rating = CobaltApi::renderRating($type_id, $section_id, 'r.published = 1'); ?>

<?php echo $rating['total'];?>

Docs here.

I'm using one template list for displaying reviews everywhere.

My setup is:
* Type 1 (Section 1) with cobalt types as comments.
* Type 2 (Section 2) with cobalt types as comments.
* Section 3 (Type 3)is for storing reviews but it has subcategories.
* Type 1 and Type 2 have "force to category" set up when submiting review. Section is Section 3.

Now this is my code for displaying rating:

<?php 
if($params->get('tmpl_core.item_rating')):
$rating = CobaltApi::renderRating(13, 8, 'r.published = 1'); 
?>
    <div class="pull-right">Total rating: 
            <?php if($rating['total']/10 <= 5):?>
            <div class="content_rating btn btn-danger btn-small" rel="tooltip" data-original-title="Rating">
                <?php echo round($rating['total']/10, 1);?>
            </div>
            <?php elseif($rating['total']/10 < 8):?>
            <div class="content_rating btn btn-warning btn-small" rel="tooltip" data-original-title="Rating">
                <?php echo round($rating['total']/10, 1);?>
            </div>
            <?php else:?>
            <div class="content_rating btn btn-success btn-small" rel="tooltip" data-original-title="Rating">
                <?php echo round($rating['total']/10, 1);?>
            </div>
            <?php endif;?>
            out of <?php echo $rating['num']; ?> votes!
    </div>
<?php endif;?>

Problem: It doesn't matter if I submit rating to Type1 record or Type2 record, $rating['total'] and $rating['num'] always takes into account ratings from both Types. Why? Is this because ratings are stored in subcategories of same section? How can I separate ratings?

$rating = CobaltApi::renderRating(13, 8, 'r.published = 1 AND r.parent_id = '.$item->id); 

You need to add condition so that only ratings of current article are calculated.

Sergey $rating = CobaltApi::renderRating(13, 8, 'r.published = 1 AND r.parent_id = '.$item->id);

You can use this in record.

If you output total rating and total number of votes in comments list template you must replace $item->idwith $item->parent_id

klox7 If you output total rating and total number of votes in comments list template you must replace $item->idwith $item->parent_id

You want total ratings for all records in section but only made for one type?

Sergey You want total ratings for all records in section but only made for one type?

Ratings are already in one type. That's why this is $rating = CobaltApi::renderRating(13, 8, 'r.published = 1');

Or maybe I don't understand your question?

What I wanted to say is that if you want do display total rating somwhere in "main record" you use $item->id as you said. You can use this also in "main records list". But if you want do display total rating in comments list in record then you use $item->parent_id. This works for me.

Got you! Yes. Correct.
