This is the first individual plugin review I have done, and it was prompted by the beautiful simplicity and elegance of the Star Rating plugin by eyn at Channel-Ai. The plugin that eyn’s created is very easy to use, but has a whole selection of features and options that you can use if you have more advanced needs.

Adding a rating to a post is nice and intuitive…

[rating:3.5] = Rating:

…and a plethora of fraction and decimal options are supported: [rating:3/4], [rating:3/5], [rating:82/100] , [rating:4.5], etc.

The little stars can be changed to any other image that you may desire, and the plugin will output text ratings for RSS feeds. If you prefer just plain text ratings site-wide, then you can customise it to that end as well. By default database writing is turned off, but I’d recommend anyone intending to heavily use the plugin to enable it.

For more information and to download the plugin, visit Channel-Ai’s page on the Star Rating for Reviews plugin.
