Rating widget serverside response

I am building a spry rating widget using the dynamic sample
from the spry documentation:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index.html
I understand how to send the information to a script.php on
the server and processes the data, but I do not know how to
retrieve the data from the script. Do i need to generate an xml
page?
thanks

I agree. I tried to use Spry Rating and it was crap. It's
useless if you can't post the data to the SQL backend. I am a
seasoned LAMP developer and I couldn't figure it out. Their team
spent all this time and effort to create these widgets and didn't
give ample documentation on how to use them. I'm not impressed.
Hopefully they're all jobless now because of their documentation
deficiencies. They are certainly useless to Adobe creating
worthless fancy widgets...

Help with Spry Rating Widget within a Spry Repeating Region

My link http://www.youthinkyougotitbad.com
This is a long question, but it seems to me if answered somewhere it could help alot of people in the spry community creating comment boards as it uses three important spry widgets: rating, repeating, and tabbed panels. I am trying to use spry rating widget within a spry repeating region within a spry tabbed panel with xml. I was trying to go with the pulse light script (http://forums.adobe.com/message/3831721#3831721) but Gramps told me about the spry rating widget. But I have ran into a couple more problems. First, I couldnt find that much information on the forums or online about how to do the php page with the spry rating widget. None of these have any information on how to do it:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index .html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/data_api/apis/rating. html
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/rating/RatingSample.ht ml
And it seems that the official examples are so poor (or I am just ignorant, which def could be a possiblity) it shows
to set the initial rating value from the server, but uses a static value of 4
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/rating/RatingSample.html
<span id="initialValue_dynamic" class="ratingContainer">
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
         <input id="spryrating1_val" type="text" name="spryrating1" value="4" readonly="readonly" />
         <span class="ratingRatedMsg sample">Thanks for your rating!</span>
</span>
<script>
var initialValue_dynamic = new Spry.Widget.Rating("initialValue_dynamic", {ratingValueElement:'spryrating1_val'});
</script>
I finally found a site that has the php and mysql setup.
http://www.pixelplant.ro/en/articles/article-detail/article/adobe-widgets-for-download.htm l
But its not perfect. It has the same problem that I ran into with Pulse light, that you had to use php echo within the spry repeating region to set the initial value from the server:
<span id="spryrating1" class="ratingContainer">
         <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="<?php echo $row['average']?>"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript"
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("spryrating1", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id=spryrating1&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
So instead, I tried with three of my panels (www.youthinkyougotitbad.com) to get the average rating from xml by using the following queries:
Recent
Returns the blurts in most recent order along with average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC
Wet Eyed
Returns the blurts in highest ratings order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r Desc
Dry Eyed
Returns the blurts in lowest rating order along with the average rating
SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt AND ratings.rating_value > 0.1 Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY average_r
These all return the correct xml in the correct order.And they return the average rating of each blurt which I can send to my page with xml.
My first question is that I dont know how to configure the query on my fourth panel Empathized & Advised the same way because it already has a Group By for the Comment Id.
SELECT `Comment`.id_Blurt, COUNT(*) as frequency, Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt, DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt, `Comment` WHERE Blurt.Id_blurt = `Comment`.id_Blurt GROUP BY `Comment`.id_Blurt ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC";
Not sure if you guys need more information to understand that all, if so just ask.
So after I get my average value through xml to the first three panels, I set my spry repeating region up like this:
(Blurt panel)
<div spry:region="pv1" spry:repeatchildren="pv1">
           <div class="blurtbox">
            
            <h3> "{pv1::Blurt}"</h3>
            <p> Blurted from {pv1::Location} at {pv1::Date}</p>
            <p>Empathize or Advise about {pv1::Name}'s Blurt #<a href="detailblurt.php?blurtid={pv1::Id_blurt}"> {pv1::Id_blurt}</a></a></p>
           <span id="{pv1::Id_blurt}" class="ratingContainer">
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingButton"></span>
            <span class="ratingRatedMsg">Thank You! Your tears have been tallied.</span>
            <input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="{pv1::average_r}"/>
        </span>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            // overview of available options and their values:
            // http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/rating_overview/index.html
            var rating1 = new Spry.Widget.Rating("{pv1::Id_blurt}", {ratingValueElement:'ratingValue', afterRating:'serverValue', saveUrl: 'save.php?id={pv1::Id_blurt}&val=@@ratingValue@@'});
        </script>
             <br/>
           </div>
          </div>
Ok, it registers the right vote in the database with the right blurt id each time. But I am having two problems so far:
One, even though {pv1::average_r} returns the correct average through xml, it doesn't show the initial rating value for each of the repeating blurts. It seems to show the first one correct, and then just repeat that same value to the other ones that follow. I just dont understand since it can get the correct server value right after you vote (afterRating:'serverValue), that I can't manipulate spryrating.js in some way that I could just replace 'ratingValue' in ratingValueElement:'ratingValue' with something to give me the initial server value.
Two: Is even more mysterious to me, if you play around with voting on the site, sometimes you are unable to vote on different blurts. Its weird. It seems like that the javascript is completely off just on those blurts. And sometimes its a whole row, sometimes none. But so far its never a problem on the first tabbed panel (Recent), only on the other three. As far as I know, the coding is exactly the same in each tab's repeating region except for the different xml input.
And, now on the live server, sometimes the pics of tears used to voting dont show up until you click.
Any help on those three questions (how to query the fourth panel, how to show the initial server value, and the glitches with voting) would be greatly appreciated!! I looked pretty hard on adobe forums and other sites, and didnt see much on how to really use the spry rating widget with php and xml.
Thanks!!

Update:
Ok, the first query on the Recent tab doesnt work for me because it wont show unless its already voted, and since these are supposed to be new blurts, that kind of breaks the whole site:
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date, ratings.rating_id, Avg(ratings.rating_value) as average_r FROM ratings Left Join Blurt On ratings.rating_id = Blurt.Id_blurt Group By Id_blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
So I replaced it with what I originally had.
"SELECT Blurt.Id_blurt, Blurt.Name, Blurt.Location, Blurt.Blurt,Blurt.`Date`,DATE_FORMAT(Blurt.`Date`, '%l:%i %p on %M %D, %Y') as Date FROM Blurt ORDER BY Blurt.`Date` DESC";
But this doesn't provide me with the initial average rating:(

Rating widget with data table

I am using rating widgets with php generated tables... but I
like the spry data regions better (for sorting). is it possible to
dynamically create rating widgets in a spry data region? I tried
doing it by applying the information from "Using HTML Fragments In
XML Sample " but that doesnt work. Any ideas?

Did u check:

Rating Widget - Update afterRating following rateHandler

In the rating widget I am implementing, I want to fade the
stars out onclick, then fade them back in with the updated
"average" value showing. I am using the rateHandler to call my fade
function, and then the fade function calls another fade to handle
the fade-in. However, during the fade-out, the afterRating updates,
so you sometimes see the new value being updated as the widget is
fading out.
Basically, I would like to update the "afterRating" value
following the fade-out, but before the fade-in. Any ideas?
Here is the URL:

Rating Widget: CSS Float question

I've successfully modified the Rating widget with our own rating graphics (smaller star's) but one issue I cannot figure out is how to get rid of what looks like a margin or padding around the ratingButtons... actually, everything within the ratingContainer itself. Everything works fine, just trying to tweak it's apperance on screen in relationship to other elements above and below the widget.
In SpryRating.css, the ratingContainer is floated left as well as the ratingButton(s) by default. I didn't change that. I did however change the width and height of the .ratingButton classes to match the new width and heigh of the graphic elements.
I think this is really more of a CSS/Float issue, but I haven't been smart enough to figure it out over the past few days while trying to research.
The end result should make the ratingContainer the same height as the ratingButton(s). I've already tried specific values for the height of the ratingContainer as well as 'auto'.
Any help would be welcome and appreciated! Thanks!

Rating Widget and Notifiers/Observers

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to get a rating widget to update as the user clicks on spry:setrow images. I believe I need an observer and notifier but not sure what comes first. I have multiple image galleries and need to have rating rate the current image. The images are contained within an HTML Panel widget, but the rating widget is outside of said container/widget.
I want to use this to set the current row (which will give me the unique id I use to store the rating in the DB):
     var current = DATASETNAME.getCurrentRow();
This would work graet if I could get the rating widget to properly show in the HTML Panel, but I have failed at doing so.
A set of links on the left side of the page sets the dataset, and clicking the thumbnail sets the current row (of course). DO I need an observer for the link to set the ds for the above mentioned var? And then set another for the current row so I can match the image's {name} value with the rating value stored in the DB?
I think I am on the right path, but need a little direction.
Thanx!

This script should theoretically work...
var allDataSets = [dsNavigation, dsFavBlogs, dsFavCompany, dsGalleryList, dsDefaultGallery, dsCottonClubMain, dsIDSarrieriMain, dsPrimaDonnaMain, dsSawrenMain, dsSonataMain, dsValisereMain ];
var srImageRate;
for(var i = 0; i < allDataSets.length; i++){
     allDataSets[i].addObserver({
           onCurrentRowChanged: function( ds, data ){
               if( srImageRate ){
                    srImageRate.setState('initial');
                    srImageRate.destroy();
               srImageRate = new Spry.Widget.Rating("imageRating");
The allDataSets array should contain all the datasets you created. It will loop through them, and adding a observer to all of them, this observer will be called on onCurrentRowChanged.
Once the observer is called, it will reset the Spry widget.

Some assistance with Spry Rating Widget

Hello, everyone.
I have downloaded the Spry library from the repository, and am playing with it, trying to learn it. So far, so good.
I have written a page that is using both the Spry Accordion Panel (I have 8, so far) and the Spry Rating Widget (one in each panel.)
I am displaying (below the stars) a tally of ratings for each panel (I'm keeping track in an XML file.) The 1-5 Star title, the number of times each is clicked, and a green bar (img) indicating percentage.
When a star is clicked, the XML is updated, but you have to refresh the page to see the new values. How can I dynamically, and in real time, update the value display when a star is clicked? (Once I have that, I can figure out how to dynamically change the img size/percentage.)
Thank you,
^_^

And I'm just starting to learn it, just because. It's something different. I'll probably never use any of it in any paid projects, but it's still nice to get a feel for it.
I have never used the rating widget, but I do have the Spry example files from when they were originally released. I assume that you have managed to download the same files from GitHub.
Open widgets.html in the widgets folder. Scroll down to the bottom, and click the Ratings > Overview link. Close to the bottom is a section titled "Update the Ratings Value Dynamically". The example code looks like this:
<body>
<span id="spryrating1" class="ratingContainer">
<span class="ratingButton"></span>
<span class="ratingButton"></span>
<span class="ratingButton"></span>
<span class="ratingButton"></span>
<span class="ratingButton"></span>
<input type="text" id="ratingValue" name="dynamic_rate" value="2"/>
</span>
<script type="text/javascript">
var rate = new Spry.Widget.Rating("spryrating1", {ratingValueElement:"ratingValue", afterRating:'serverValue', saveURL:'SpryRating.php?id=spryrating5&val=@@rw_Rating@@'});
</script>
</body>
Notice that the options object contains this: afterRating: 'serverValue'. Unfortunately, the sample files (at least the ones I've got) don't include a copy of SpryRating.php. However, I assume that it probably saves the selected value, calculates the average of all saved values, and then uses echo to output "serverValue=4.5" (or whatever the average is).

Can you enter cumulative numeric rating data per response in colums on the Formcentral Data Form?

Can you enter cumulative numeric rating data per response in colums on the Formcentral Data Form?
In other words can you rate each responce numerically - have it add up per responce etc... - and then divide up the responces by the accumulated ratings ( All rated 5 ) (All rated 8) etc... ?
Thanks
Al

Hi Brian
The form is a grant application where the applicants are rated on their responses.
The ratings are done after the answers are accumulated in the Formscentral contol panel. The ratings are done by 3 other project members (VPs).
These ratings are in 3 catagories, each catagory is worth up to 5. The VP's will access the form central panel and rate each applicant per catagory.
I have added 3 catagory colums with multiple choice rating selections from 1 to 5 for each of the 3 VP's for a total of 9 colums (3 x 3 catagories)
The reason I did it this way is because at this point I would be relying on an Exel download to calculate the winner or/and also the top rated winners
per the ratings that the 3 VP's put on them per catagory.
Thanks for your help - do you have any suggestions to make this smoother.
Thanks
Al

View rating scale (Likert) responses

Hello all,
I'm trying to add a rating scale to a Captivate 3 project and have the results emailed to me. My problem is I cannot figure out how to have the actual responses sent. When I set it up, the email created only has the following (note: the numbers on the second line are all "0", not "U"):
There are only two questions in the survey and in this example I answered the first as "2" and the other as "5".
Does anyone know how to have the results emailed?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi there
Wow, most folks pop in to ask about one feature that doesn't seem to work as advertised. But you have a double feature! Kudos.
Please review the link below. I believe both of your questions are answered there.

JOB Monitor Widget: No response from Server HTTP500

First of all: Thanks for this really nice widget Sergio!!
I really enjoyed the blog and the demo-video.
I also get the http 500 Error mentioned by Raja in the Blog-Comments
The test of the webservice in the browser was successful.
I enabled "All logons" in SICF. Same error.
Also changed the WS operation in the main.js. No success.
To check that it has nothing to do with the authorisation method(http://userid:password@<hostname>:<port>/sap/....)
i added manually a user and passwort in SICF and corrected the generated URL in mais.js to http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/... Same error.
Furthermore i added manually a proxy in the YWE-Settings also without having success....
Any ideas from the experts to get this great widget working for me?
Thanks
Frank

I am pretty sure that I am having a similar problem. but I am not able to get around it. I am new to Widgets (this is the first one I have played with).
I have changed the 2 occurances of ns1:WrapBp* to ns1:Zbp. My service is http://blah.blah:blah/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/zbp_job_select_sm37b?sap-client=212
If I run this url directly in firefox I get an "SOAP processing failure, error id = 1018" error. Should I get something else? Should I be using something else to test?
I am running in 2004s, I am not sure if that makes a difference.
I know that I am missing something, but I am not sure what it is.

Product rating stars? How?

I am trying to get some rating stars to be used on my large product page. I have tried the {tag_rating} but that doesn't seem to work for me. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

{tag_rating} only works on blog post layouts. So, there's nothing built-in to BC for rating products by stars. At this stage, I'm not sure it's possible. I would normally suggest using Web Apps to create a rating for each product and embed that web app into each products' description but in order to make changes to the web app item (update the average rating, etc) it requires users to be logged in which you might not want to do.
Have you looked into third-party ratings systems like http://rating-widget.com? Seems like you might get the desired functionality with that javascript. It looks like they host everything on their site so you are dependant on their site not going down but I'm interested to see if you can use that script to get unique ratings widgets for each product.

Rating: saveURL not works?

here:
http://www.sanremowebtv.it/rating.cfm
why my rating widget not fireoff the xhr call after voting ?
var rate = new Spry.Widget.Rating("spryrating1", {
saveURL:'video/vota-bc.cfm?id=spryrating1&val=@@rw_Rating@@'
thanks
Rob

Hey Rob, i just had the same problem. Try using saveUrl
instead of saveURL. change the caps on 'r' and 'l'. it worked for
me.

Spry Rating in an HTML Panel

I have a working rating widget but when I use it in an HTML panel (part of the HTML file) it does not show up. I tried including all of the rating widget functions in both files but to avail. DO I need to use an observer since the rating widget is in another HTML being populated by the HTML panles widget?
Thanx!

Jus to clarify for me:
I should include the <script src="path/to/rating.js"></script> in my main file. The page that displays all of my galleries.(for me it is galleries.html)
I will change it all around and see what happens
EDIT*****************************************************
It still looks as it did before, not sure what I did. heres the link again wioth all updated info

I may just consider using jquery for the rating as I am under a bit of a time crunch - I have school starting in two weeks and really need to get this up and running soon. I will also be adding comments to each image but that may require a bit more research.
Thanx again.
