Two problems/questions on this hack.
First--does it work in both 6.0 and 6.01 or only 6.01?
I tried adding it to 6.0 and almost got it to work (see next comment below) but after trying to rate a topic, received a cgi error code about being unable to open line 63 in ubb_rate_topic.cgi. I can post the exact error message here later if you want to see it.
Second--is there an error in the readme.txt file?
You say the following in that file...
########################################
public_forum_page.pl (Templates)
--------------------------------
########################################
Find
########################################
$vars_wordlets{total_replies_header}
|
########################################
and add the follow
########################################
$vars_wordlets_rate{rating_column}
|
---
Should there be an extra tag at the beginning of that last text? My formatting didn't work properly until I added another | tag.

LOL twinspin at the same time Yes this is a typo in the readme. I just updated the ZIP. Did you create a thread_ratings folder (CHMOD 777) in your Members directory? There is no demo except on my local machine but here a screenshot: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.gehen.f2s.com/ratetopic.jpg)

Can you make rate this topic a choice for the topic starter? On my board some people opt not to be rated. Please me know if you have will include in your next release.

Great Hack!!!
One question, I also have the gradient hack installed, and really hate to fool with this all since it's working, do you know where in your code, I need to add the gradient call, so I have a consistant bar?

The next version (Maybe next week) comes with a few control panel options. I didn't tried the gradient hack yet but I check it out. Thats odd. I don't know what this cause. Do you use mod_perl?

I noticed that the rating ends up equalling the last rating. I tested it out on my board and another board and saw same results. I looked at the files in the thread_ratings folder and they are still registering 1 vote even thought the topic has received multiple ratings. Anyone else getting the same issue?

Stang5_0, the gradient coding would go in this section
$vars_wordlets_rate{rating_column}

Stang5_0 - my apologies for adding a rating on your topic on your board but you have the same problem as me. I rated a topic that was previously rated a 5. I rated it a 1. It should average the 2 ratings and come up with 2.5 (rounds to 2) but the new rating is a 1.

Take a look in the thread_ratings folder and see if it shows two votes. If we both have the same problem I would say it is a bug in the code. Thanks.

I still am having problems. Here is what the rating file looks like now after two votes:
$votes = 1;
$ratings = 5;$votes = 1;
$ratings = 1;
Why not delete the original file and re-write it everytime someone votes?

Great that fixed it. I did notice another small issue. After you vote it does not display where you are being returned to.

Cool hack.
Just a idea, maybe make stars be able to be "halfs" as well as whole stars
so there can be 4 1/2 stars, etc. You get the idea I think.

I figured out my problem. Another stupid user problem (I'm the user). I had created a directory folder with an extra 's' in it. Once I renamed the threads folder properly it worked like a charm.
I probably need to check out version D to see what else has just been added.

I was able to get the full forum name by adding another hidden value in the rating form. I also clean up formatting and spacing using the following slight modification to your code. Here is the main part of public_topic_page.pl file related to this hack: By moving the hidden values, the space between the drop-down box and the go button is smaller and consitent with the hop-to box. Thanks again for a great hack. Jim

How about rating Forums as well, some people have forums for games and such and so you could rate the game quality as well etc. Like a reader reviews system, but more flexible.

Well, I added everything and checked, double-checked, and triple-checked and found that the rating simple can not be displayed.

Phillip... My download did not contain the cp_rate.cgi files. So my CP "Voting Settings" admin does not work.

Phillip can you make this mod so that if the topic has NOT been rated it shows up as so? like ive changed this to text instead of images and ive noticed that if you vote for a topic every other topic under it on the same pageshows this topic has not been rated but then if one of those gets replied to it removes the "this topic has not been rated" heres an example....... http://www.411hype.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=4
