CMS Add PHP Script to Articles
 

I previously asked on this site about a 10-star rating system. Unfortunately, vBulletin does not allow for this sort of modification to its ratings so I had to find an alternative.

After some searching I found one entitled AJAX Star Rater. It is a program that supposedly works on most any sites. The problem is it's no longer supported by the author and it's the only 10-star rater I can find.

Anyway, I have installed it and gotten the database setup to accept the ratings. Now I'm trying to get the code in the article and that's where I'm having some trouble. I want to make it as simple for myself and others as possible, so I thought a bbcode would be the simplest way.

In the instructions for the program it says to:

3. Enter this line at the top of any page where you want to have rating bars.
==========================
Code:



==========================
4. Point to the right Javascript and CSS files (you need behavior.js, rating.js, and rating.css)
==========================
Code:



I assume this means that the code from Step 3 & 4 can be combined. So I created a bbcode called rating1 with that code.

The instructions go on to say:

==========================
5. Drop the function wherever you want a rating bar to appear
==========================
Code:
- 10 stars (default), ID of 8
- 5 stars, ID of 8xxa
- 5 stars, ID of 9a, static (non votable)
- 10 stars, ID of 9b
- 8 stars, ID of 9c, static (non votable)
So I created a new bbcode called rating2.

I thought that I could then have as the very first thing in the article [rating1][/rating1], have the article text, and then have [rating2][/rating2] at the bottom. Yet then the only thing that happens is the article shows [rating1][/rating].

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get this working? I'd really appreciate any help.
