Check if a post has been rated.

Is there a way to check if a post has been rated yet? I want to display the result only if the post has been rated. If the post hasn’t been rated yet, then show form (instead of “No ratings yet” text). Something like this:
```
if ( *if_post_has_been_rated* ) {
	echo do_shortcode('[mr_rating_result]');
} else {
	echo do_shortcode('[mr_rating_form]');
}
```
Is this possible?

Nevermind, I got it. 🙂

if ( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), Multi_Rating::RATING_RESULTS_POST_META_KEY, true )['count'] > 0 ) {
	echo do_shortcode('[mr_rating_result]');
} else {
	echo do_shortcode('[mr_rating_form]');
}

Yes that will work. Another way is to do this.

if ( class_exists( 'Multi_Rating_API' ) ) {
	
	$post_id = get_the_ID();
	$rating_result = Multi_Rating_API::get_rating_result( $post_id );
	
	if ( $rating_result['count'] > 0 ) {
		echo do_shortcode('[mr_rating_result post_id="' . $post_id . '"]');
	} else {
		echo do_shortcode('[mr_rating_form post_id="' . $post_id . '"]');
	}
}

I have not tested this code snippet but you get the idea.
