Hi mimouni,
Thanks for the rating! Just to let you know, the plugin doesn’t allow for filtering on custom fields. I do believe they are working on it: https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/1060 🙂

Please let me know what you think is falsely advertised…

It doesn’t really work with images but with post types. I think the best way to go is to upload ‘m all in the media uploader. ‘MAYBE’ you can use attachment as post type, but the plugin wasn’t built to be used this way.

Hi Everyone,
I’ve updated the plugin so it works in WordPress 4.1 again.

It had to do with the jQuery (scale) animation. I’ve implemented a css solution so the animation might have changed a bit – but the plugin works. You don’t have to be concerned about any data loss when you update the plugin.

Take care, let me know how you guys are using it!

regards,

To show the ranking, you can use: [thisorthat_ranking]
and to show all the scores you can use: [thisorthat_ranking show_score=”true”]

Only thing is that this plugin is not meant for scoring by ‘votes’. That’s the whole purpose of using the ELO system, so that will make it far more honest….

The fact that the amount of votes goes up by two is not supposed to happen and I will look into it.

Hi gdibble,

the plugin doesn’t just ‘add’ votes, but uses a chess algorithm. It’s a bit tough to explain, but this way it doesn’t matter how many times there will be voted on a single item.

So, following your example; lets start with the 4 items with a rating of 1000.
A: 1000,
B: 1000,
C: 1000,
D: 1000,

A vs C, click A: updated scored (approximately):
A: 1020,
B: 1000,
C 980,
D: 1000,

B vs D, click D:
A: 1020,
B: 980,
C: 980,
D: 1020,

A vs D, click D:
A: 1000,
B: 980,
C: 980,
D: 1020,

Now, the ‘algorythm’ takes into account the likelyhood that one ‘item’ would win: So when you put B (980) to D (1020) you would believe D to become the winner. Because there is a larger differences between the player, they play for a larger ‘stake’ (for illustration purposes i made this 25pts):

B vs D, click B
A: 1000,
B: 1005,
C: 980,
D: 995,

I hope this gives a bit of insight on how the plugin works, but I realize this doesn’t resolve the issue that people aren’t limited to vote on a certain ‘item’.

I guess I can use cookies to resolve this, but people would be able to delete then and cast a vote again. Otherwise we must think of user registration and such….

For now, I’ll think of a clever way to make this happen through cookies.

regards,
André
