Contestant Rating is a plugin that will allow a wordpress user to rate a post or in our version a Karaoke contestant using the classic method of five stars.

This script is a modified version of post-star-rating plug in by O Doutor post-star-rating. The script has been cleaned up to work with all browsers and was inteded to be used to rate video of karaoke contestants in wordpress post(s).

A few notes about the plugin:

  • The plugin requires jQuery. If jQuery is not "detected" when it is loaded, the plugin will load jQuery.
  • The javascript has been minified and placed in the /js/ directory. A full version is available and can be modified as you see necessary.
  • The cascading stylesheet has been minified and placed in the /css/ directory. A full version of the .css file is also there and can be modified as you see necessary.
  • The plugin uses an IP based cookie to disable the form to deter users from inflating the vote.

Plugin uses its own database tables:
cr_post, cr_user
