Topic: Star rating not working in short story
Hi! I'm trying to install the AJAX-star-rater from an old website I had (the original code isn't on the forum anymore) but it doesn't work anymore and I don't get why:
I can rate when I'm in the full story, but in the short story, it seems that cutenews can't get the ID of the article, it shows with those two problems:
- If I rate any article, the modified line stays always the last of the file (so the first article of the website)
- I created a code named {voters} wich shows the number of voters and again, it works only in the fullstory, but the short story shows every voters without any space one after the other.
The final aim of this is to have a heart, or any button on wich I clik and increase by 1 the number of voters on the article. That should be really simple but since the rater had a problem from the beginning without even modifying it, I can't go further in the changes.
Here is the first part of the code in the full-story part:
