Does this plugin expose the average rating and number of ratings of a topic as 1-2 simply API calls somehow?

And is it possible to show the ratings when embedding Discourse as in [Embed Discourse comments on another website via Javascript](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embed-discourse-comments-on-another-website-via-javascript/31963) ?

HI @frold,
I appreciate your patience and apologize for the delay in my response. I’ve been preoccupied with other commitments but am back now and ready to address your questions.
The possibility of having a 2-step rating system is interesting. The current design of the Topics Ratings Plugin supports a star-based system, but I see the value in a simpler, thumbs up/down system. Although this is not currently a feature, it’s a compelling idea and I’ll certainly explore its feasibility for a future update. We are also open to sponsorships or funding for the development of specific features. If you’re interested in sponsoring this feature or any other, please feel free to get in touch.

Hi @n1bff,
My sincere apologies for the delayed response. Your patience is truly appreciated. I had other engagements that required my attention, but I’m now here to focus on your inquiries.
As of now, the plugin does not provide direct API calls for average rating and number of ratings for a topic. While we recognize the convenience this could provide, it’s not a current feature but something I’ll certainly consider for future enhancements.
Similarly, displaying ratings when embedding comments and providing a consolidated view of all a user’s ratings are not currently supported. These are thoughtful suggestions, and rest assured, I will look into their feasibility.
As we are an open-source project, any feature developments could be expedited through sponsorships or funding. If you or your organization are interested in sponsoring these or other features, please reach out.

**I cannot delete the Type because of an error.**
When I try to delete “The Name is … and the Type is empty”, an error message “The requested URL or resource could not be found.” is displayed and I cannot delete it.
Even if I uninstall and reinstall the plugin by “Rebuild the container”, the same error occurs.

It appears that an invalid type was added, resulting in an empty type. The plugin definitely needs a sanity check for input validation.
For now, you can use the Rails console to delete the empty type:
```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
DiscourseRatings::RatingType.destroy("")
exit
```
Refresh the page, and it should be gone!
Keep the type simple, such as `my_type`, and you are good. 😄

That’s super cool! Thanks for telling me.

Text categories other than English are not displayed.
Categories must be displayed for non-English text to be managed.
How do I display them?
※ Also, In the case of Type, an error will occur if a non-English character is entered.

@LoveMCJ A quick fix for this is to define a _slug_ for your category, then delete/add the category for the rating again. This should work!
@jumagura
I see an issue here:
[https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-ratings/blob/main/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/rating-object.js.es6#L52](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-ratings/blob/main/assets/javascripts/discourse/components/rating-object.js.es6#L52)
`Category.slugFor` will return either the `slug` if it exists or `{id}-category` if not defined.
The plugin uses `findBySlugPath`, which only looks for categories with a `slug` defined.
For categories without, `findSingleBySlug` should likely be used as well.

I hope that helps! 🙂

Hi,
The rating star appears on any topic title page.
But on the homepage, I see [object Object] instead of the rating star of the posts.
How can I fix this?
\*Note: The problem occurred after the update.( Discourse and Topic Ratings Plugin and other Everything is up to date)

When I remove this option, the [object Object] text disappears. Are you planning to do anything about this? I think this should be fixed.
Kind regards. Good Work. @jumagura

@merefield
On your last changes
[https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-ratings/commit/6673f6ebea36a98c31be04e39de1531074154182](https://github.com/paviliondev/discourse-ratings/commit/6673f6ebea36a98c31be04e39de1531074154182)
It misses:
```js
import { registerRawHelper } from "discourse-common/lib/helpers";
registerRawHelper("rating-list", _ratingList);
```

Hi, can this plugin be used for rating posts rather than topics? If so, could someone let me know if it also do these 3 things?
- enable rating on all posts in a topic after the posts are created
- be configured so that users can’t see other users’ ratings or average ratings
- export a CSV with each user name and their ratings for each post

Hi, 👋
That’s not possible with this plugin.
The closest plugin I could find is [Discourse Post Voting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-post-voting/227808) (_thanks, Jammy, for correcting my silliness 😅_). Users can upvote posts once per topic (except the first post), so the rating would be the number of upvotes.
To export a list of users with ratings, you can use this plugin: [Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-data-explorer/32566). You can create an SQL query, and you will be able to download the list in CSV format. Check #data-reporting #sql-query if you need help.
Also, there is #Marketplace if you can afford to sponsor someone to make the exact plugin you’re looking for. 👍

Just an FYI, that plugin has been deprecated in favour of the #official [Discourse Post Voting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-post-voting/227808) plugin.
