UI item for Leave Review

[chriscct7]

It's not really that clear how one leaves a review. You have to click on a rating then go to the leave a review after a redirect. We should add a "leave a review button" on the view theme page to encourage more theme reviews

Agreed. :) My theme directory mockups are a bit more clear: ​https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2015/01/23/theme-directory-mockups/

The top priority for the new directory was getting the main bits up and running smoothly. I'm unsure what the timeline is for implementing some of the remaining features.

In 1377:

WP.org Themes: Add a way for users to add a review.

See #892.

Not sure if we should continue adding buttons in the sidebar, but it seemed inconsistent to do it as a link here.

Getting the rating stars right on the JS modal will need some time to get right though.

@obenland I'm not sure how much it will help you specifically because of the view template stuff, but the wporg_rating_dingus function will generate the adjustable rating stars for you. Yes, it's called a dingus. :)

Pass it the object type (theme) and the ID of the theme, and leave the inputmode to false, and you'll get back the HTML for selecting the rating and the JS to forward them to the review screen. It's what we're using the in the plugins directory.

Note: We will need to adjust it because it's bbPress specific, but we can change out those bits to be either bb or WP compatible.

[obenland]

It would work easily for the server-side render of a single themes, but not in the JS template. That's the part that will need some time to get it right.

Fixed in the Theme Directory redesign.

comment:3 is not addressed, but it seems like adding a button in [1377] was good enough.
