A lightweigt, blazing fast star rating plugin for WordPress
A super fastWordPress star rating plugin, optimized for SEO, and with a really low impact on page load (just CSS + a bit of HTML, plus the strictly required JS for working).
The svn repo has been recently synchronized with a github one.
Contributions are more than welcome, so feel free to submit a PR there if you wish 🙂
Basically we create a new table called (prefix)ec_stars_votes
, where we store the votes of the people (to prevent duplicate votes).
The number of votes and the sum of the total votes are stored in the (prefix)options
table in form of custom meta fields, one for the count, and another for the sum. Both fields get updated when someone votes.
/wp-content/plugins/
directorysingle.php
, content-single.php
or index.php
): Actually, microdata is recommended by Google, but with microformats google detects the stars and uses them in your searches (example).
The plugin will not output metadata when there are no votes (see issue 2)
