Need help: How to improve ratings
Hey Guys,
I could use some feedback for the rating handler for GARS 2.0 Right now, I find the most annoying aspect is with member ratings. Many members skip over the review section to make their comment and as such, their review gets entered in at the default values. This can skew ratings and look odd. Now, one way around it is to set it up so they have to rate it through the 'rate now' link (via the module). However it won't allow them to edit their rating. I could set up another page so they can be asked to review it after they complete their message (kind of how the add a poll works) however that could prove to be a challenge with some of the limited functionality you get out of the hook system. I could have a 'tick box' they would have to have ticked in order to 'accept' their rating.... but I think thats kind of counter-intuitive. Anyone have any brainstorms about this? |

not sure how well this works with the backend of the rating system (whether or not comments can exist without ratings) but a couple of things you might try:
Only worry about their valules if they haven't changed from the default. If they haven't changed from the default:

Right now it checks against previous values to update... however there in lies the problem. If there is no previous version and the user doesnt place one, it gets a NADA.
Maybe the best option is to 'tick to rate'. That way users have to go out of their way to make the rating? I do like the default to average though. I think ill impliment that. |

SO a 'tick to post ratings' box seems the easiest and most straight forward then?
