Article Ratings Error

TBH, they'll probably be in the next release.  But IchBin has provided the fix for you to try above.  Hopefully it'll sort your problem for now.

I was just thinking of people downloading the current version and then having to trawl through the forum to find the fixes, surely the current version could be updated every time an error is fixed?

No, the reason for knowing version numbers is so we know whats in the code.  If you start releasing updates without any way to track them, you end up with chaos.  We have trouble enough getting people to state the version when asking for help, imagine having to ask for them to dig in the code to see if random changes had been made.  When a number of small patches have been made, Ich will release a new version.  If it was a critical security patch, I am sure he would release a new version right away.  But this is a minor feature that does not affect the overall operation of the forum.

Generally if I post the fix in the topic, I post it in the bugtracker too. If I don't post the fix, it's because there are too many changes, or it's a change I wouldn't want someone to try just yet. 

Lurk, my guess is that these things have changed over the last while with Bloc moving things, and updating them. I haven't looked, but I'd say that ratings may have been broken longer than just TP1RC1. Either way, we are getting closer. The biggest issues to solve are the front page problems with articles/pagination, and Agridocs language issues.

The problem still exists in category view.

Thanks for reporting that clothahump. I forgot about that section. I'll dig into this when I can get access back on my server.

If you'd like to try a fix for this one too you can try this. I don't know if it works, so make sure you backup your file before making these changes.

Code Select Expand

// expand the vislaoptions
$row['visual_options'] = explode(",", $row['options']);

Add this right before the lines found above:

Code Select Expand

// Add the rating together
$row['rating'] = array_sum(explode(',', $row['rating']));

Fine, that one worked as well, by the time we are finished it will be a new release.
