Rating, Fields and Serach Issues

    Hi Yannick,

    I’m using link library on different sites and it is working reliable, for example http://karate-kampfkunst.de/karate-webkatalog/karte-vereine-und-dojos-webkatalog.htm.

    But there are some questions. I always add some functions, after each update manually. Could you add a new sorting attribute “by rating”, and it would be great, if you could change the rating points with those known “rating stars” (see above).

    I need different / more fields, which should be sorted too. For example – people are searching a new club and the searching phrase / ordering condition could be country, zipcode, state or city. Is it possible to add user defined fields with sorting and search function?

    And the last issue: Is it possible to search all the links with wp-search somehow?

    With kind regards

    Andreas

    Yes, I can work to create a new sorting based on rating. I can also put in a new option to use images instead of text to display the rating. That being said, I would need to find good images that are open source to display the rating image. Do you know where you found the images that you are using?

    I will also need to give the user the option of selecting a different stars. Actually, I could just display empty or full stars, then I would just need two images to represent them.

    For the second part of your request, no, it is not possible to add user fields in Link Library, and I have not had a lot of requests to do this. When you say that you want to sort by these extra fields, what are you looking for? Results, that could be grouped by country, then by state, then by city, etc… Doing this would require more than extra fields, it would require supporting hierarchical categories, and this is something that would require major re-work of Link Library which I do not want to undertake at this time.

    Finally, no, it is not possible to search through links using the WordPress built-in search. I have looked at adding support for this in the past but did not find a way to do this.

    I will work on the first two items related to rating and stars soon.

    FYI, looking at my schedule this week and the fact that I will be away for a few weeks for work, I will likely not be able to get to this until early June.

    Hi,

    time is irrelevant. No sweat ;). I have created those stars. You could use it. And if you need more – I’m not a brilliant designer but a few different stars …. I will have a look and if there is enough time I will send you some.

    Not hierarchical categories, but “order by” location data fields – I thought this could be interesting for several directories (restaurants, gas and service stations and s. o.). And my visitors are trying to find clubs under zip code. If it is possible to add location / address data – it would be great.

    I have tried to enhance wordpress search in the past – I know it is tricky. I don’t find a solution until now.

    With kind regards
