FiveStar in Author Panel

I haven't the foggiest idea... Moving it over there. They can add it in using the hook if they want. (I'll explain further if it's needed)

Nigeria does the info here fix your problem?

#483738: Showing the user rating widget in places other than the user profile.

If it's added to the user object on user load, which is what that implies, then you can access it with the $account variable in the AP template.

Michelle

It is indeed. Sounds like a fix to me.

This is a thread about Author Panel and Fivestarextra, so I'm leaving questions about nodes and blocks for the issue in #2.

@Michele

After going through the author_pane module, I tried implementing the hook like this

function fivestarextra_preprocess_author_pane(&$variables) {

global $user;

$uprofile = user_load(array('uid'=>$variables['account']->uid));

//Some fivestarextra function to call. But I dont know, as the fivestarextra_widget_form is not that clear about the usage.

$variables['fivestarextra_widget_form'] = 'fivestarextra_widget_form';


}

Can you please lead me from here.

I also noticed that one cannot access fivestarextra in Author Pane from $account or $user or $profile. It seems the module(fivestarextra) is only available on the user profile page.

I don't use Fivestar Extra so I have no idea. Setting this back to active since you need more help.

Hi,

I was just wondering if you managed to get past this issue. If so, would you be able to share some of your knowledge to us as I am trying to do the same here too.
Thanks

Well its been a full year since I've seen any activity in this thread. Has anyone been able to work on this?

Considering the last commit was August 29, 2009, I think this module is abandoned.

Can anyone give some guides how to show fivestar in author pane?

And read-only to self while voteable to others.

thanks!

for anyone looking for a solution, try:

$user = user_load($uid);
echo drupal_get_form('fivestarextra_form_comment_'. $comment->cid, 'comment', $comment->cid);

You don't ever want to load a UID into the $user variable as you risk that colliding with the global $user. Always use $account (for clarity) or at least something other than $user. Further, in this case, you aren't even using the $user variable so that loading serves no purpose. Using echo on a form is a bit icky but at least doesn't pose a security risk.

thanks a lot, yes $usuario for example is what i often to use.

Which one is the correct manner to put the form in a tpl.php?

Thanks a lot :-).

In Drupal 7 fivestar is a field. You can include it in any entity like any other field. Then you can print it in the tpl like you should any other field.

Does this help?

Michelle, per #15 and your response in #16 (and the post in http://drupal.org/node/673114#comment-5695056), does this mean that its now possible to add a user rating widget into the user profile author panel for user ratings?

I have no idea. I was just commenting on the coding quality in the snippet.

I think this issue got highjacked along the line, but thanks for great replies.
