Thx for showing the css problem, with two small changes on the plugin the problem can also be solved. rating\views\helpers\rating.php: line 58 [sourcecode language="php"] $output .= $this->Form->label($model.'.rating', $htmlImage, array('for' => $model.'Rating'.ucfirst($options['name']).$id.$i, 'class' => 'rating')); [/sourcecode] rating\vendors\css\rating.css [sourcecode language="php"] div.rating label { display: inline; } [/sourcecode]

“In my application, the rating is displayed vertically.”
-> This problem occurred because of the default style of Cake PHP.

I commented ‘display: block; ‘ for label class in cake.generic.css and its working fine now.
label {
/*display: block; */
}

Schneimi,

In my application, the rating is displayed vertically. Should I change any configuration to display it vertically ?

Thanks
Maybe if it shows as warning and not an error will be less confusing.

Yes, you should set showErrors to false, this is just for installation to check if it works when the user is logged in. I will think about how to make this less confusing.

The User.id 0 should not be used as a valid user, thx for that information I will fix it.

The “Please login to rate” message appears on mouse over if showMouseOverMessages is set true and no User.id is found in session.

I dont know hoy to make an user not logged in not to vote!
If i dont write the User.id in the Session I get the error The User id was not found at “User.id” in the session

And if I set the user.id session to an id that does not exist like 0 for example, then it takes it as valid and let it votes and saves it on the ratings with user_id 0

Should I just left the session blank and place the show errors to false? how does the ‘Please login to rate’ message activates?

Hope i explained myself rigth, i apologize for my english

Hi, this is not possible by default, but you just have to do two quick changes to reach that behavior. 1) add a new setting in app/config/plugin.rating.php [sourcecode language="php"] $config['Rating.disable'] = true; [/sourcecode] 2) use it in the condition in the rating/views/view.ctp [sourcecode language="php"] // decision to enable or disable the rating $enable = $session->check(Configure::read('Rating.userIdInSession')) && !Configure::read('Rating.disable') && (Configure::read('Rating.allowChange') || (!Configure::read('Rating.allowChange') && $data['userRating'] == 0)); [/sourcecode]
