How do I add a review and list the reviews?

Hi,
I've installed Rate Pro on www.dlpfoodguide.com/rating.
1) When I call articol.php?id=1 to test, I get a rating form. I enter the info and press RATE. Then it produces an 404-error. Why?
2) When I call articol.php?id=1 after that, I get the screen telling me there has been 1 rating etc. But how do I add another rating to id=1?
3) How do I call a list of ratings of all the entered id's?
4) How do I call a list of ratings of 1 id?
5) Is it possible to (easily) change to rating from 1-10 to 1-5 levels?
6) If I turn of the moderation (setting it to 0), will the ratings be automatically posted?
7) How do I register to your forum? There's a login but I can't seem to find a Register option!

You guys really should do something about the documentation! There simply isn't any. For users who don't know how to do real PHP programming it impossible to understand the Rating Pro!
I'd expect more for a product for which I paid money! Even if it's only $14.
So please tell me how to call all the different option of the Rating Pro program so I can really use it!

Thanks,

Marco Otte

Thank you to letting us know that manual is not sufficient for all!
1. Your config is not setted up correcttly.
$DEFAULT_URL = "http://www.dlpfoodguide.com/rating/";
$DEFAULT_RATE_URL = "http://www.dlpfoodguide.com/rating/";
2. You can call only one time (in a period) articol.php?id=1, I mean if you have rated an article, you cannot rate second time. Time expiry is setted up in config.inc.php. Try to call articol.php?id=2, articol.php?id=3, articol.php?id=4 and you will see the difference.

4. I don't understand, please explain.

6. Yes, we don't recommend this.
7. Noticed, we will fix this. We will have soon better documentation. Thank you.

Ok, thanks.
1) I'll change the variables. Thanks.
2) Right. That's to avoid people voting many times in one session!
3) I'll check it out.
4) Oh right. Well take a look at my website. Try http://www.dlpfoodguide.com/annettes.html and click on the Review button. It'll pop-up an new window with all the reviews up to now. That's a list of all the reviews of just that restaurant.

Basically I want a Review and Rating system that uses MySQL to have more control. And have a system that allows average ratings. As you can see on my site people can rate a restaurant with a review but the ratings can't be averaged.

Duh, sorry but I can't find the mentoined variables in my config.inc.php file.
I just added them right now.
Then you tell me that the Time Expiry is set in the same file, but I can't find that entry either!
Did I get the correct files versions? Because the help you give doesn't fit the files I've got.

Hope you can help.

OK, one last post.
After checking out the links to the other posts on this forum you guys specified, I've decided that the $14 was a waste of money.
I've got a flat text reviewing system that works fine. I would like to have to MySQL and the average rating options, but although Rating Pro does offer these, it doesn't offer any other basic functions apart from entering a review/rating.
All other usefull (and IMHO essential) functions missing are:
-Overview of all the items in the database with how many reviews and average rating
-List per item of all the reviews and individual ratings plus the average rating
-Admin util to add and remove items from the database
-Admin util to edit the reviews after they're in the database

I'd have to program all these myself, that's not worth paying for. I can get similar programs for free on the Internet.
So sorry. I like you idea with the Rating Pro but it's ways of from being a finished product.

Well good luck with it!

about time, sorry it was in our CVS version.
On 1.7 is in cls_rate_pro.php
// Set a unique cookie to expire in 2 weeks [24 hours = 86,400 sec]
setcookie("$cookie_id", "test", time()+1209600);

You can ask for a refund, you will not get updates or if you want new features, like what you asked for, you can wait for next release. Is up to you.
