Update: Working AJAX Stars. No loading

I have updated this extension as well as provided a download package that already has all the edits need to make these stars actually AJAXed. --Cdpollard 05:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Step 1: Download the script first

Download the AJAX Rating Script package and install it under...

extensions/Ratings

Step 2: Create extension

Then create a new file in your extensions directory called RateArticle.php

RateArticle.php

<?php
require('Ratings/_drawrating.php'); 
if ( ! defined( 'MEDIAWIKI' ) )
	die();

$wgExtensionCredits['parserhook'][] = array(
'name' => 'AJAX RATING BAR',
'author' => 'Boudewijn Vahrmeijer',
'url' => 'http://www.leerwiki.nl',
'version' => '1.9.3/1.9.2/1.8.2',
);
    
$wgHooks['AfterArticleDisplayed'][] = array("wfRateArticleForm");
function wfRateArticleForm($DIVRATING,$AID) {
	global $wgArticle, $out;
	if ($wgArticle == null) return;	
	$URLRIGHTPART= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
	if(substr_count($URLRIGHTPART,"Hoofdpagina")==1||substr_count($URLRIGHTPART,"LeerWiki")==1||substr_count($URLRIGHTPART,"action=edit")==1||substr_count($URLRIGHTPART,"Overleg")==1)
		{
		$UITZOND= 1;
		}
	if (isset ($UITZOND ) && $UITZOND != 1){	
		$DIVRATING=rating_bar($AID,5);
	
	}
	

}
?>

Step 3: Enable it

Simply call the extension from your LocalSettings.php

require_once("$IP/extensions/RateArticle.php");

Step 4: Display it

Now in order to make it show in your wiki, You must edit your skin file.

MonoBook.php

Add this after function execute() {

You can search for: "} // end of execute() method"

  global $wgArticle;
  if ($wgArticle){
   $AID=$wgArticle->getID();
  }

Add this to the end of the head.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="extensions/Ratings/js/behavior.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="extensions/Ratings/js/rating.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="extensions/Ratings/css/rating.css" />
</head>

Put this in where you want it displayed.

<?php echo rating_bar($AID,5); ?>

Step 5: Core File Edit

Replace in: includes/Skintemplate.php

Skintemplate.php

Replace

 $tpl->set( 'bottomscripts', $this->bottomScripts() ); 
 
 $printfooter = "<div class=\"printfooter\">\n" . $this->printSource() . "</div>\n";
 $out->mBodytext .= $printfooter ;

With

 $tpl->set( 'bottomscripts', $this->bottomScripts() ); 
 //### START RATING ###############
 if ( $wgOut->isArticle() and (!isset( $oldid ) or isset( $diff )) and 0 != $wgArticle->getID() ) 
 {	
  $AID=$wgArticle->getID();	
  wfRunHooks( 'AfterArticleDisplayed', array( &$DIVRATING,&$AID));
 }
 else
 {
  $DIVRATING='';}$printfooter =  $DIVRATING."<div class=\"printfooter\">\n" . $this->printSource() . "</div>\n";
 //#### END RATING ################
 $out->mBodytext .= $printfooter ;

Step 6: Finished

Upload all your changes and enjoy enhanced ajax rating on your articles.
