Talk:Rating Preload

An Idea
We could have three preloads: Rating Preload Like, Rating Preload Dislike, Rating Preload Neither. Then in the author box have direct links to each of those options, which will save filling in one of the fields. --Aarnott 18:21, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Except per finished vote, we just added two new possible ratings to the field. And if we're going to do that to make things super easy like that, we should install an extension that gives us a logged in user magic keyword to fill that in as well. - Tarkisflux Talk 18:31, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * We really do need to see about a custom extension that gives us one-click ratings. Put that on the todo list (for me or anyone with the skills) at high priority. Surgo 19:26, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm looking into creating a magic word extension for username (at the very least). It looks pretty easy to do. --Aarnott 19:33, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Surgo, can you be really clear about the number of steps you're looking for in a rating setup? We could get to "1 click, type reasons, save" with multiple preloads and the thing Aarnott is looking into, but that's as close as we're getting to a literal one-click rating unless we want to stop requiring people to type up their reasons. And that's not any prettier to look at than the normal preload edit page, so if you want something slicker than that it needs to be coded from scratch. - Tarkisflux Talk 19:42, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Edit - Here's an example of what we have right now. Go to Golem Overlord (3.5e Monster), or any page really, and click on the "rating" link in the author box. We're discussing setting it up so that two of the three fields are filled in for you, based on what you click on. How much more "one-click" do you want? - Tarkisflux Talk 19:46, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * What I mean is: click on "rating". A box opens up with a radio dial specifying the number, and a text field to put in why. Hit submit, and its done. Surgo 23:13, 9 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I am investigating Simple Forms for this task. Surgo 21:58, 10 July 2012 (UTC)


 * In the meantime, I will have the updated ratings template ready to use shortly. And the updated Author block to list things by tomorrowish. - Tarkisflux Talk 22:29, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
