Rating on Posts, but not on Post Loops

Blaz,

After a week working with the support team at Newspaper I found the code that controls the loop. When I insert a call to rmp_get_visual_rating, I seem to get back a string with the word “Array” in it. So I am probably not getting it the function resolved.

You can see this on the site http://www.eros-share.com Click on the category Entertainment. Please look at the below code:

<?php

class tdb_module_loop extends tdb_module {

    function __construct( $post_data_array, $module_atts = array() ) {
        //run the parrent constructor
        parent::__construct( $post_data_array, $module_atts );
    }

    function render( $shortcode_class = '' ) {
        ob_start();

        $hide_image = $this->get_shortcode_att('hide_image');
        $image_size = $this->get_shortcode_att('image_size');
        $category_position = $this->get_shortcode_att('modules_category');
        $btn_title = $this->get_shortcode_att('btn_title');
        $title_length = $this->get_shortcode_att('mc1_tl');
        $title_tag = $this->get_shortcode_att('mc1_title_tag');
        $author_photo = $this->get_shortcode_att('author_photo');
        $excerpt_length = $this->get_shortcode_att('mc1_el');
        $excerpt_position = $this->get_shortcode_att('excerpt_middle');
        $modified_date = $this->get_shortcode_att('show_modified_date');
        $time_ago = $this->get_shortcode_att('time_ago');
        $time_ago_add_txt = $this->get_shortcode_att('time_ago_add_txt');

            $hide_btn = $this->get_shortcode_att('show_btn');

            // when to hide

Blaze,

It is a good thing to answer us only once a week.

This is the proper code that needs to be placed in wp-content/plugins/td-cloud-library/modules/tdb_module_loop

<?php echo rmp_get_visual_rating($this->post[‘post_id’]); ?>

If anyone else needs to integrate with “Newspaper” theme. Please share this.
