Ratings

[obenland]

Create a widget to rate the currently viewed plugin. See how Themes handles reviews and figure out a way to make it work for both from one plugin.

Worth noting we have the WordPress.org Ratings System plugin activated on the site, I believe the Themes Repo uses it too.

The underlying data from bbPress will have to be migrated over to WordPress though at switch-over (we can do it before then as well, but we'll just have to do it again)

For ratings, the data is not in bbPress. It's in the custom ratings table, shared by both themes and plugins. The plugin that the themes directory is using can be reused, most likely.

Yeah, I got confused as WordPress.org has two ratings plugins installed, the global one which stores data centrally and WP-Postratings which I believe is by the showcase.

The global ratings system currently keys everything by bbPress topic id's, I'm going to look at adding/replacing a object_slug field to ease the transition for the plugin directory. It looks like for the theme directory we did an ID switch-a-roo for bbPress topic_id's to WordPress post_id's during the migration phase.

In 2998:

Plugin Directory: Add ratings count postmeta display to admin and plugin cards.
Still to come is a Widget to allow rating & reviewing a plugin.

See #1575

In 3009:

Plugin Directory: Add a Review Widget to the theme, and all the other required things for Widgets.
This adds a namespace to the theme and begins to reduce the duplication of template functionality between wp-admin and the theme.

See #1584.
Fixes #1575.

In 3012:

Plugin Directory: Remove extra </div> from the ratings widget.

See #1575

[obenland]

In 3039:

Plugin Directory: Make ratings widget compatible with meta env.

Accounts for cases where ratings post meta and wporg_get_user_rating()
are not available.

See #1575.

This is not yet fixed.

• Ratings still require a bbPress object_id in the database, we need to remove that requirement.
• Ratings in the support forums still references the bbPress database for the plugin details (and object_id)

[obenland]

Fixed in ​[dotorg12026].

reopening for tracking as the above commit was reverted.

[dd32]

The above commit was re-added.

The only remaining change is that at launch, the Support Forums needs to be toggled to fetch plugin data from WordPress tables rather than from bbPress tables.
