Unobtrusive AJAX Star Rating Bar for Zen Cart and OSCommerce
INSTALLATION:
1. Make a rating table for the ratings in your zen cart db.
CREATE TABLE `ratings` (
`id` varchar(25) NOT NULL,
`total_votes` int(11) NOT NULL default 0,
`total_value` int(11) NOT NULL default 0,
`used_ips` longtext,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=3;
2. Edit your database info into _config-rating.php, then upload all files to your zen cart directory.
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = 'me';
$dbpass = 'secret';
$dbname = 'zencart';
$tableName = 'ratings';
$rating_unitwidth = 30;
3. Add this line at the top of includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php
<?php require('/DIRECTORY_TO_ZEN_CART/_drawrating.php'); ?>
4. add one of the following lines to includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php
<?php echo rating_bar('8'); ?> - 10 stars (default), ID of 8
<?php echo rating_bar($products_model,'5'); ?> - 5 stars, ID of 8xxa
<?php echo rating_bar($products_model,'5','static'); ?> - 5 stars, ID of 9a, static (non votable)
<?php echo rating_bar($products_model,'10'); ?> - 10 stars, ID of 9b
<?php echo rating_bar($products_model,'8','static'); ?> - 8 stars, ID of 9c, static (non votable)
for example, after these two lines: <p id="productDetailsList">
<?php
5, If you want to change how the rating bar is rendered, you will need to edit both _drawrating.php and stylerating.css files.
Use at your own risk.

I can not get this to work.
I have installed everything correctly. Unfortunately the stars do not save.
I checked my ratings table and the model number is there but the IP, or star ratings are not been added. I manually added a star rating and they showed on my product pages.
So the only thing that does not work for me is the saving/inserting the IP, star ratings not been added.
I checked for errors and there is a function.unserialize error on line 32 of db.php
If anyone has any idea of how I can fix this? It would be very appreciated.

Hi,
Many thanks for the script :)
I have just one question…..
Does this work on individual products as i have noticed that the ratings carry over in other products?
other than that its fine and well worth a donation for coffee/donuts…..or good ol beer if i can get this to work on each product.
thanks

It’s not working for me either, not getting inserted into the database properly. I can click on the ratings but it just doesn’t do anything!!!
