 * Hi i have a question for the developer. im trying to integrate a plugin with 
   the essential grid plugin to display posts… my need is to add meta fields to 
   filter content, does this plugin generate a meta-field with the average vote 
   for each post? if so , I could wire it with essential grid to produce the rating
   filter.thanks for your help!!!

 * Hi,
 * The ratings are stored in the post meta table as a serialized array. This is 
   done so that we do not have to recalculate the ratings all the time. There is
   a setting to turn off storing the ratings in the post meta table if desired.
 * **Meta key**
    mr_rating_results
 * **Sample PHP serialized meta value**
    a:9:{s:20:”adjusted_star_result”;d:5;s:
   11:”star_result”;d:5;s:22:”total_max_option_value”;i:5;s:21:”adjusted_score_result”;
   d:5;s:12:”score_result”;d:5;s:17:”percentage_result”;d:100;s:26:”adjusted_percentage_result”;
   d:100;s:5:”count”;i:1;s:7:”post_id”;s:1:”1″;}
 * **Sample PHP unserialized meta value**
 *     ```
       Array
       (
       [adjusted_star_result] => 5
       [star_result] => 5
       [total_max_option_value] => 5
       [adjusted_score_result] => 5
       [score_result] => 5
       [percentage_result] => 100
       [adjusted_percentage_result] => 100
       [count] => 1
       [post_id] => 1
       )
       ```
   
 * In case anyone wonders, the Pro version has a different meta key mrp_rating_result_
   <rating form id>.
 * Hope this helps.
    Daniel
