Sort Results by star rating

Managed to get it to show the number by adding true after the code…

while ($query->have_posts())
{
$query->the_post();

?>
<div>
<h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<p><br /><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<?php
if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) {
echo '<p>';
the_post_thumbnail("small");
echo '</p>';
}
?>
<h6>Average Rating: <?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'ratings_average', true ); ?> Stars</h6>
<p></p>
<p><small></small></p>

</div>

<hr />
<?php

And I have added some text. It doesn’t actually show the 5 stars, that would be better if you know how to do that as in your example websites. At the moment it shows Average Rating: 5 Stars for example, just in text.

Hi

Can you show me a link with a page that actually has stars instead? Might be able to do something for you.

Ah. Images. Yes, that can be done. Needs a bit of coding. I haven’t got right now, but later yes.

Try this as the code to output stars:

<span id="post-ratings-<?php get_the_ID();?>" class="post-ratings"><?php
$star_rating = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'ratings_average', true );
for ( $star_count = 1, $star_count <= 5, $star_count++) {
$star_status = "on";
if ( $star_rating < $star_count ) {
$star_status = "off";
}
?><img id="rating_<?php get_the_ID();?>_<?php echo $star_count;?>" src="http://www.golf-library.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-postratings/images/stars/rating_<?php echo $star_status;?>.gif" alt="Star" title="Star"><?php } ?></span>

Hi Trevor, where about do I paste the code?

Instead of this:

<?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'ratings_average', true ); ?> Stars

It should just give you five stars in a row.

Done that but the page now doesn’t load…

<h6>Average Rating: <span id=”post-ratings-<?php get_the_ID();?>” class=”post-ratings”><?php
$star_rating = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘ratings_average’, true );
for ( $star_count = 1, $star_count <= 5, $star_count++) {
$star_status = “on”;
if ( $star_rating < $star_count ) {
$star_status = “off”;
}
?>_<?php echo $star_count;?>” src=”http://www.golf-library.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-postratings/images/stars/rating_&lt;?php echo $star_status;?>.gif” alt=”Star” title=”Star”><?php } ?></span></h6> <p>Votes: <?php echo get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘ratings_users’, true ); ?><p>

The indents have gone if that makes any difference?

Arrggghh. Can you edit that and put the code inside code tags?
