As said by 3×7 you can call do_shortcode() within your template to display the rating stars. * Within the code for the shortcode, there I won’t add any checks if the ratings have been enabled for that specific post and just display the ratings if the shortcode is used. * These checks are the reason at the moment, why placing the function in to the template doesn’t work straight out of the box. * [3×7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/3x7/) * (@3x7) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-the-php-rating-function-code/#post-3492261) * perfect! * Just a thought…. maybe you could implement “thumbs up” voting.. and combine it with stars… * I know this haven’t been done before, but since google results only show stars you could do it like: 1 thumb-up adds one all stars rating… 1 thumb-down adds 1 star rating, or removes one all stars rating from average rating… * I just believe “thumbs up” is more welcome for voting… however it’s just an idea, which could be a winwin… * Cheers! * Thread Starter [netigate](https://wordpress.org/support/users/netigate/) * (@netigate) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-the-php-rating-function-code/#post-3492297) * hi, thanks for your shortcode idea. is there anything new about this or the release date? * Plugin Author [Daniel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dwaser71/) * (@dwaser71) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-is-the-php-rating-function-code/#post-3492298) * Right now I’m working on it and it will be released later this week.
