Solspace Rating Problem

First, Solspace has their own support forums. For matters like these, I’d suggest you post there. You’ll probably get more informed answers. The documentation is good too.

But this one, I can answer. 😊 What I would do in this instance is to use a conditional to test how many rating there are. If there are none, display “0.00”, otherwise show the average. So, something like this:

{exp:rating:stats entry_id="{entry_id}" precision="2" theme="default"}
{if overall_count == "0"}
  0.00
{if:else}
  {overall_avg}
{/if}
{/exp:rating:stats}

Thanks, but it doesn’t work…

Looking at using the Rating Module and am searching for live examples but found this thread.

I think the code may need to be, i’m just guessing:

{if overall_count == ""}

OR

{if overall_count == "null"}

OR something like that - Did you get it to work?

The stats tag doesn’t seem to show at all if there is not any data. The following does work, though. Make sure it is not within any tags. It can stand on its own.

quote from Solspace forum on this issue:

Rating:Stats will return absolutely nothing if there’s no results. You’ll need to use the {if no_results}0{/if} conditional if you wish to display something in the event there’s no ratings for an entry. smile Keep in mind though, if you have the Rating:Stats loop inside of a Weblog:Entries loop, it will override the conditional and it wont work, so you’ll need to put the Rating:Stats code inside an embed instead.
