This plugin aims at providing rating capabilities to any Propel object with the
help of a dedicated Propel behavior.
[[Image(rating_capture.png, right)]]
== Installation ==
To install the plugin, run this command within your symfony project :
{{{
symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin
}}}
The source code is also available:
* [source:plugins/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin from the code browser]
* [http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin/ from the SVN repository]
(please always use a tagged version in production)
=== SVN repository ===
The plugin is also available through the Symfony SVN repository.
Stable versions are available in the
[http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin/tags tags]
folder, experimental ones in the
[http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin/branches branches]
one and the current alpha in the
[http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin/trunk trunk].
'''Caution: Never use the trunk version in a production environment.'''
== Configuration ==
To activate this Propel behavior in Symfony, you must first activate behaviors
in your propel.ini file :
{{{
propel.builder.addBehaviors = true
}}}
In one (or more) of your existing model object classes, apply the behavior. Eg.
for an {{{Article}}} Propel model class:
{{{
array('max_rating' => 10, // Max rating value for an Article
'rating_field' => 'AverageRating', // refers to ArticlePeer::AVERAGE_RATING
'reference_field' => 'Reference'))); // refers to ArticlePeer::REFERENCE
}}}
* The {{{max_rating}}} parameter sets the maximum rating available for an object
(this must be an integer greater than 0 - default is 5)
* The {{{rating_field}}} parameter, which refer to a {{{float}}}
column in phpName format of your ratable object table which will store cached
value of actual rating for the object. Useful for queries performances and
sorting ;)
* The {{{reference_field}}} parameter sets the name of the field where you
store the identifier of the object to rate. By default, the plugin will use
the primary key of the object. You must return an integer fo referencing a
custom identifier.
=== Ensure rating consistency ===
A clean way to ensure rating consistency is to associate a rating to a unique
identified user reference stored server side, typically the primary key of a
user record in your database.
If no user reference can be retrieved, the plugin will rely on cookies, but you
should consider this alternative solution with caution, as cookies are easily
deletable by the user.
=== User reference retrieval configuration ===
By default, the plugin will search for an [wiki:sfGuardPlugin sfGuardPlugin]
installation to retrieve authenticated user primary key. If you are using sfGuard,
you have nothing more to configure.
If you don't use sfGuard, you can specify the way a unique user reference (eg.
primary key) will be retrieved, using these available plugin settings in your
{{{app.yml}}} file:
* You can specify a PHP function, eg. {{{get_connected_user_id()}}}:
{{{
rating:
user_id_getter: get_connected_user_id
}}}
* Or a static method of a PHP class, eg.
{{{MyCustomUtilsClass::getConnectedUserId()}}}:
{{{
rating:
user_id_getter: [MyCustomUtilsClass, getConnectedUserId]
}}}
The return value of these calls should always be the primary key of your
connected user.
== Using the Ajax rating system ==
This plugin provides an Ajax-based rating system, with pretty stars to click on.
You must note that this web module is provided for illustration purpose, it has
weak chances to fit exactly your project needs.
[[Image(rating_capture.png)]]
To activate this feature, you must enable the {{{sfRating}}} module in the
{{{config/settings.yml}}} file of the app you want to use the helper in :
{{{
all:
.settings:
enabled_modules: [default, sfRating]
}}}
If you are under Microsoft Windows, you also have to manually copy the {{{./web}}}
directory of the plugin in the {{{%SF_ROOT_DIR%/web}}} directory of your project
and rename it to {{{sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin}}}. Then you will have
this on the filesytem :
{{{
project_root
[...]
web
sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin
css
sf_rating.css
images
alt_star.gif
}}}
Then, you can use the {{{sf_rater}}} helper in any of your templates:
{{{
}}}
== Using the rating details display component ==
[[Image(RatingDetails.png, right)]]
Just call the component from any of your templates:
{{{
$article)) ?>
}}}
== API Usage ==
Note: In below examples, {{{$user_id}}} is a string representing a
unique reference to a user, eg. if you're using the sfGuardPlugin,
{{{sfContext::getInstance()->getUser()->getGuardUser()->getId()}}}.
If you don't provide this parameter, the
[#Userreferenceretrievalconfiguration configured user reference retrieval configuration]
will apply.
To set a rating for a given user:
{{{
$article->setRating(10, $user_id);
}}}
To test if the object has already been rated :
{{{
$article->hasBeenRated();
}}}
To test if the object has already been rated by a particular user:
{{{
$article->hasBeenRatedByUser($user_id);
}}}
To retrieve user rating for this object :
{{{
$article->getUserRating($user_id);
}}}
To get the average rating of the object :
{{{
$article->getRating([$precision]);
}}}
Note: If you have concerns about performances, you will better use the cached
value of rating stored in the {{{rating_column}}} you configured previously.
To retrieve the maximum possible rating for an object (which you have defined in
the {{{max_rating}}} behavior optional parameter - default is 5) :
{{{
$article->getMaxRating();
}}}
To clear user rating :
{{{
$article->clearUserRating($user_id);
}}}
To retrieve rating details :
{{{
$details = $article->getRatingDetails();
}}}
Results will be this form:
{{{
array(
2 => 12, // 12 people has rated the object 2
5 => 7 // 7 people has rated the object 5
)
}}}
You can also retrieve details for all available ratings:
{{{
$full_details = $article->getRatingDetails(true);
}}}
Results will be this form:
{{{
array(
1 => 0, // Nobody has rated the object 1
2 => 12, // 12 people has rated the object 2
3 => 0, // Nobody has rated the object 3
4 => 0, // Nobody has rated the object 4
5 => 7, // 7 people has rated the object 5
)
}}}
To clear all ratings for the object :
{{{
$article->clearRatings();
}}}
== Unit testing ==
The plugin is provided with a test suite located in the {{{./test}}} directory.
To run the tests, type this line from the root of your project :
{{{
$ php plugins/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin/test/unit/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorTest.php
}}}
Note that you have to provide a Propel test object class name to run the test in the test file:
{{{
define('TEST_CLASS', 'Article');
}}}
== Uninstallation ==
{{{
symfony plugin-uninstall symfony/sfPropelActAsRatableBehaviorPlugin
}}}
You will need to remove the behavior to all your model, then rebuild your model
and purge your cache.

Rysanek - thanks!)
* added i18n strings management
=== 2007-09-12 | v0.6.2 ===

* Added unit tests
=== 2007-09-07 | v0.6.0 ===
* Added an AJAX rating system as a helper
