The value is different for each page, same key though.

Sure,

The template:
http://pastebin.com/82eQw7pT

and the function as it is currently in my comment plugin:

function calc_avg( $post_id ) {
	// Calculate rating averages
	$args = array(
    'ID' => $post_id,
    'status' => 'approve',
);
$comments = get_comments( $args );
foreach( $comments as $comment ) {
    $tot_stars +=  get_comment_meta( $comment->comment_ID, 'rating', true );
}

	global $testvar;
	$testvar = 1;
	$no_of_comments = get_comments_number( $post_id );
	$GLOBALS['$avg_rating'] = ($tot_stars / $no_of_comments);
	global $avg_return;
	if ($no_of_comments > 0) {
		$avg_return = $avg_return;
		return $avg_return;
	} else {
		return $avg_return;
	}
}

Thanks for the replay Andrew, I am working a plugin I have created. In a comment addition plugin, I have added the ability to add a rating (1-5). I am now calculating and trying to display the average of the ratings $avg_rating = ($tot_stars / $no_of_comments);. I have logic that allows this to work and be displayed within the comments themselves, however I want them to be displayed on my custom post template. I have tried adding my calculations to a function as you have recommended as such:

function calc_avg( $post_id ) {
	// Calculate rating averages
	$args = array(
    'ID' => $post_id,
    'status' => 'approve',
);
$comments = get_comments( $args );
foreach( $comments as $comment ) {
    $tot_stars +=  get_comment_meta( $comment->comment_ID, 'rating', true );
}

	$no_of_comments = get_comments_number( $post_id );
	$GLOBALS['$avg_rating'] = ($tot_stars / $no_of_comments);

	if ($no_of_comments > 0) {
		$avg_return = $avg_return;
		return $avg_return;
	} else {
		return $avg_return;
	}
}

however echo $avg_return does nothing. Nor does echo calc_avg($post_id) and using GLOBALS or global has not helped either. Any other ideas?

I may still be misunderstanding you, but /%postname%/ is what I have in my custom structure.

Almost there, how do you “load your content” into the CPT? I have a large excel file, would I just have to import rows one at a time?
