interesting. I wondering when the demo will be available as i am interested in this also.

I know that I'm out of time, but this is because I'll add special Ajax plugins, but also to add more features. Pitty that vB's templating system doesn't helps a lot. As long as I can't add PHP in templates, I can't do many things. I have a very nice slider rating, which changes color as long as user moves the slider. Unfortunatelly it can't works with vB. Works, but using only one color as background.

In any case, I started the final step to build the main page. Here is a screenshot showing the top article.

An importer from GARS should be TOP priority, otherwise is as good as nothing for a very big amount of forums.

Should be available at an extra cost of $25. Please note that this file will be encoded and locked by domain. The same applies to installation file for the main script. Other than this, all the core files are coming with 100% visible source code. I think that this is the best solution as you're having all the files with visible source code to modify them as you want, but from the other side it also protects my intellectual property by preventing multiple installation. Finally the installation files are one time use files.

Yesterday I spent my whole day installing vB3 and GARS. After lot of tests I realized why nobody wasted his time to build a bridge for it. The approach that Morgan has for rating (because this is the critical point), is, (always in my opinion) totally wrong. It's the first time that I've seen rating scale to be different per question in the same category. Even in different categories is not logic to have different rating scales.

Example: Let's say that you've a category for reviewing Software. In this category you've as rating questions:
- Features
- Design
- Usability
- Support
According to the way that GARS works, you can set Features to has rating 1-10, while in Design 1-5, Usability 1-7 etc etc.

Sure not all scripts are following the same scale. eg vB uses 1-5, iRater (as I seen) uses 1-10, I'm using 1-100 etc etc. But all scripts are using the same scale for all questions in all categories.

So the final point. The importer should works only if you used the default scale (1-5), or any scale (eg 1-10) but SAME for ALL questions, in ALL categories.

PS- There is a point that I haven't tested yet. To change the scale and then rebuild the ratings. If it changes accordinally the rating, should be ok, but you need to do an extra work before transfering data.

I've added a rating slider based on YUI to my site (for reputation ratings). Its simply a matter of showing a blank star or a colored star on hover. Images come from a sprite. And set the rating on onclick. Or is this not what you mean?

The original script that I'll include in the PHP version is:

And a funny version of it is:

The only version that can works with vB is:

simple is better imho. Stability and fast loading is always best.

I think those are too complex. Why not just add rating stars?

[bigtree]

I'm more than happy with stars. If this is too pretty, I will most likely pass on this. I just want a simple, very stable working review section that uses the vb editor.

I don't want pretty. Hope this helps.

Nice! Congrats one the fine work.
