I’m guessing i have to use
<?php update_post_meta($post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value, $prev_value); ?>
in kk-ratings.php file but I don’t know where and how exactly…
Thanks again for your help…
Hi
Can you explain this: “now I need to pass kk rating to my custom meta_key(“asd” in my case) as value for each posts… and I don’t know how to do it.”
I didn’t understand this point. Maybe if you brief me about the actual meta_key(instead of asd) and for what purpose you are using it, I may understand better.
Thanks
Hello Kamal,
Thanks for superfast reply 🙂 and sorry for my English.
Basically what I want to do is to order posts by post rating.
Usually they are ordered by date.
Actual meta_key in my case is “asd”…I should give it more descriptive name , like “rating” or something but that’s not a point.
What I want to do is to assign kk-star-rating value for each post, to my meta_key as value., so when user rates movie with say 5 star movie (post) goes up, if user rates with 1 star post it goes down…
hopefully I explained more clearly this time 🙂
Thanks
What you mean is that you just want the post to be ordered by rating (Descending order)? So top rated is at top and lesser rated come below?
Exactly. That’s what I want.
You may want to use this code instead of your current loop.
if(function_exists(‘kk_star_ratings_get’)) :
$top_rated_posts = array();
$top_rated_posts = kk_star_ratings_get(10);
if(count($top_rated_posts)) :
wp_reset_query();
foreach($top_rated_posts as $post)
{
$mypost = get_post($post->ID);
$title = $mypost->post_title;
$excerpt = $mypost->post_excerpt;
$permalink = get_permalink($mypost->ID);
echo $title;
echo $excerpt;
echo $permalink;
wp_reset_query();
}
endif;
endif;
Hope that works 🙂
Also, you may want to use this post meta value which is being stored by the plugin for each post.
_kk_ratings_avg
This is the post meta containing the average ratings for each post.
Hope that helps
I guess this will work for you:
<?php
query_posts('meta_key=_kk_ratings_avg&orderby=meta_value&order=DESC');
?>
Were exactly should I put that code…here is my file
<?php query_posts(‘meta_key=asd&orderby=meta_value&order=ASC’); ?>
<?php

$show_image = $suf_show_excerpt_thumbnail == "show" ? true : false;
$classes = array('excerpt');
}
else {

?>

$post = $original_post;

?>
</div><!--post -->
<?php
}
suffusion_before_end_content();
}
else {

OK I will try and let you know. Thanks so much 🙂
Most welcome.
Just use this for querying the post
query_posts('meta_key=_kk_ratings_avg&orderby=meta_value&order=DESC');
WOOHOOO ITS WORKING !!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU !THANK YOU!
I am glad it worked. Have fun 🙂
This is exactly what I was looking for. Now the only thing is, if a post has not been rated yet, it doesn’t show up.
That’s working for me aswell, thanks!
One only question is that posts without a rating won’t appear anymore. Is there a way to solve this issue?
