How about the “Star Rating for Reviews” plugin?

Thanks but I don’t want to use a plugin. I want to use tags. I know this is possible, I just haven’t a clue on how to go about it.
instead of your line:
<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'rating', 'Rating: ', ', ', '' ); ?>
try and use:
<?php $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'rating');
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/images/rating-' . $term->slug . '.jpg" alt="" />';
break; //remove this line if you want to show any possible number of tags
}
?>
assuming that you have created images rating-1.jpg to rating-5.jpg
and saved them in the /images folder of your theme.
also assuming that the slugs of your taxonomy tags are 1 to 5.
and further assuming that you only want to show the first of the tags.

Ok now what I would like to do is output different text per rating. That wouldn’t be hard except, I’m using one taxonomy (Rating) for multiple post types.
So, what I would like to do it output different text per rating for each different type of post type. Sounds confusing probably but hopefully I can explain.
So a Rating of 2 for a book review, I would like to output something like “Not recommended. If you must, borrow it!” where if it was a Rating of 2 for a movie review, I’d like to output “Don’t pay to see it in a theatre but okay to rent”.
Here is what I have that IS WORKING but I feel like there is a better/fasterr way. Is there?
function get_rating () {
$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'rating');
$type = get_post_type();
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/images/rating-' . $term->slug . '.png" alt="Rating" />';
if ($term->slug == "1") {
if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Waste of time and money.";}
elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Waste of time and money.";}
else { echo "";}
}
if ($term->slug == "2") {
if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Not recommended.";}
elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Not recommended.";}
else { echo "";}
}
if ($term->slug == "3") {
if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Toss up. Rent it if you must!";}
elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "A decent read.";}
else { echo "";}
}
if ($term->slug == "4") {
if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Must see but not worth owning.";}
elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Must read but you probably won't read it again.";}
else { echo "";}
}
if ($term->slug == "5") {
if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Must watch and buy!";}
elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Must read and buy! You will read it again. ";}
else { echo "";}
}
break; //remove this line if you want to show any possible number of tags
}
}
Any help is appreciated 🙂 Thanks in advance!
How did it go? Did it work out?
