Rate Macro

It would be nice if you could also have a page level rating - that is restricted strictly to a single rating per page. This would allow each page to have a 'page rating'. Having multiple ratings on a page is more inclined to content/snippet rating. As part of page ratings, it would be excellent to list out all of the pages of a certain rating (e.g. all pages rated 4: ....) or list out all rated pages, sorted by rate (rated 1 pages: ... , rated 2 pages: ... , rated 3 pages: .... , etc.).

Ik can't download this macro. The linked page is not working: "The requested resource cannot be found"

Is there any alternative way to donwload this macro?

FYI: the page rating feature request can be found here: http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-5640

I think we can not install this macro using Repository client; but it does have label "repository_current". Is that suppose to mean something different ?

thanks,
Rajendra

i just installed this  plugin thru the confluence repository client and it says installed. but typing

is there a way to get a list of top-rated articles in a space etc? this macro would be very useful if we could do that.

for instance we have a library of articles in a space. every article has a "rating" at the bottom. if i want to create a section that says - Top 10 articles by rating. can i pull that out in some fashion?

Hi,

I am using rate macro as one cell inside a scaffold table. Now for each row of the table I should have different 'key' value in rate macro so that I could get distinguished rating for each row content. For e.g.:

My first row has one cell as :- rate:title=Title|key=someKey1

Second row has:- rate:title=Title|key=someKey2 & so on.......

Is there any way by which I can dynamically generate the 'key' so as to have a unique key for each of the rate macros in my table?

Just installed the rate macro...the graphics don't show up. I just have a blank box with the title. I can click on the box to vote, but without the graphics it's kinda hard .

Any ideas? Here's the pic...

I'm having trouble installing the Rate Macro. I have a 2.3 install of Confluence. When I click the button Install for the Rate Macro in the Plugin Repository it says:

Expected plugin key [com.adaptavist.confluence.rate] and got [adaptavist.confluence.rate] from: http://svn.atlassian.com/svn/public/contrib/confluence/rate-plugin/trunk/dist/adaptavist-plugin-rate-1.1.1.jar

Please advise. 

When I try to install the rate plugin using the Plugin Repository (in v229), I get:

The following error(s) occurred:

• Expected plugin key [com.adaptavist.confluence.rate] and got [adaptavist.confluence.rate] from: http://svn.atlassian.com/svn/public/contrib/confluence/rate-plugin/trunk/dist/adaptavist-plugin-rate-1.1.1.jar

Any ideas? Is this supposed to work with v229?

After installing latest version of the RATE macro in Confluence v229, I'm getting:

Error formatting macro: rate: java.lang.NullPointerException

Please advise.

We've added this macro to our page template using the code:

$helper.renderConfluenceMacro("
{rate:title=Page Rating\|theme=dynamic}")

It works fine in Firefox, but in IE6, it has a quirky behavior...it displays the # of stars from right to left (backwards), instead of left to right.

We recently went to SSL only on Jira and Confluence and so far the only plugin that doesn't seem to be happy about it is, sadly, this cool rate one.

Once you rate anything, the page will no longer load (IE7).  It will first give a mixed mode warning, then a cannot display page...

Is the jar download link broken? I attempted to download and browser gave a file not found error...are there mirror links? Maybe im just a super newbie...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to deploy this macro to all the existing pages which we have in our company. Any idea how to do that? We don't use template for our pages, so I'm thinking of editing the page layout from the space admin, but does anyone knows what are the command to run the macro from there? Thanks in advance folks.

Small bug with the title parameter: if you specify title=none, it hides the title - but only until the user clicks one of the options on the macro ('confluence' theme).

Here's an example of what it looks like after clicking the undo arrow thingo:

It also seems to do funky things with other themes as well - with the 'dynamic' theme, the word 'none:' appears in bold with a grey background after voting, and then when you click undo it turns into 'none?' un-bolded and with a white background.

While I'm at it, a suggestion - it'd also be great if there were an optional border parameter to specify a custom hexadecimal value.

I have installed the .jar file (found this in the comments section as the Download.jar at the top of the page is a zip file with no .jar files contained within!!!!).

In the plugin manager 1.1 has been installed. When i created and saved a page with

. this error appears:

I need this to work in conjunction with the advance search.

Any ideas? I need help with this ASAP?

thanks

I have added the rate macro. The problem is that the votes are not showing. After clicking a face icon the vote does not register.

I will be using this in conjunction with the advanced search macro. Is there a need to change the rateThreashold from 5 votes?

Thanks

Hi, does this macro work properly in a cluster environment? i.e. does it tally the responses correctly?

 On a different note,  I've contributed to the request to make the reset function optional, I just wondered if there was any news on this please?

 Thanks

I tried downloading this plugin and it downloads as a .zip file. Is that right? How do I upload into my Plugin manager?

Great macro! But a question ...

The documentation says that the delete (aka clear or reset) functionality is given only to those who can edit the current page or are global / space administrators. However, everyone seems to have this capability. Is this a bug?

Rate Macro seems to be broken with confluence 2.7 .  There is JIRA ticket open on the issue. Anyone has any idea how to fix?

I am currently in the process of getting our administrators to add this macro to our toolkit. One thing I don't see addressed here is whether or not it can be used to rate more that one thing on a page.

I am collecting tutorials for Microsoft Office applications and I would like to be able to have end users rate the value of different links:

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Is this possible or the subject of a possible improvement? 

Hi,

I m using confluence 2.2.1 I have installed rate plugin 1.0. but when i use this syntax

it gives following error:-

 please look into the matter soon

When i try to install the given version of the rate plugin it is throwing an exception for Conveyor-Config.xml as follows:

There were errors loading this plugin. There is more information in the logs.

Please guide me how to eliminate this error, and what jars will support for this.

Hi,
I have "Error formatting macro: rate: java.lang.NullPointerException" with rate macro.
Confluence ver 2.7.2, rate macro version 1.1.7

Jonathan's email address is misspelled... (See .com.com at the end....)

(FWIW: Tried editing, and commenting, and both screens seemed very slow to come up....)

Rate macro version 1.1.7 installed on Confluence 2.7.3, but I got an error when I used the macro reference
on the homepage:
Error formatting macro: rate: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/atlassian/confluence/security/delegate/GlobalPermissionsDelegate

Is this a problem with the plugin, or the installation is missing a component (dependency problem)? Using ThemeBuilder plugin for layout.

Thank you very much in advance

.

Hello,

The plugin isn't compatible with java 1.4 anymore.

In the class RateManagerImpl, you use the method Integer.valueOf, which is not in jdk 1.4.
If you replace "Integer.valueOf" by "new Integer", it works. I hope this will help others in this case.

It would be great if you manage to keep compliance with older java version

Sorry for my poor english,
Thanks !

I installed the plugin in version 2.0.2on confluence 2.7.3, but it seems to ignore all attributes, that is the following lines

get displayed exactly the same (and if I rate for one of them, all four of them get rated, even though the first two should have different keys), neither title nor key nor display does have any impact.

Is that a known error or incompatibility? (or does the rate macro need any other plugins installed?)

Thanks for any information, this macro would be really useful for us!

Dear all,

 Using this macro (2.0.2 version) with Confluence 2.7.3 whan I click to rate I have under IE and FF a never ending rotating please wait :

Hi,

It seems this plugin has been degraded since the 2.x version... can we even use the rate results with a "display" parameter anymore?

I use the 2.0.2 rate plugin with Confluence 2.8.0, and I cannot use the rate results... Also the rate plugin does not have the same looks
as those in the screenshots (nor the rollback vote function)...

Can someone help me display the rate results with the newest version?
Or is an older (1.1.7) version better for production use at the present time?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Vincent

What happened?!?! We are upgrading from Confluence 2.4.3 to 2.7.3, and the rate macro is completely changed. None of the parameters are supported any more. What happened to backward compatibility??? Am I really going to have to manually go to every page that uses a rate macro and manually change it???

Please, don't leave us hanging!!!

I am using the rate plugin with Confluence version 2.7.  It installed through the repository without any errors. 

When I add a rate macro to a page, and attempt to click on it to add a rating, the browser hangs telling me to

 "Please Wait."

I've waited for up to 5 minutes and nothing happens.  Does anyone know why this is occuring?

I'm on confluence 1.6.1, and have installed rate macro v1.1.7. The macro is displayed, and "highlights" when the mouse goes over it. However it isn't selectable - you can't actually rate a page.
This works fine on a local installation, just not the public one.
Any ideas?
Regards
Hamish

I have numerous pages in my Wiki space. Is there a feature in this macro that will alow me to add rating to all pages?

Is the key parameter still not fixed yet?  I wanted to be able to put several on a page like many and its ignoring the value.  Is this macro even actively being worked on by Adaptavist?  I see someone mentioned the problem back in May.

Installing adaptavist-plugin-rate-2.0.2.jar into Confluence 2.9 and using the {rate} macro causes this in the logs (and renders nothing in spaces attempting to use the rate macro)

org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find resource 'vm/themes/dynamic/macro.vm'

Unjarring adaptavist-plugin-rate-2.0.2.jar reveals no such file (macro.vm). Attempting to retrofit this file from past versions didn't pan out either since none of the versions I downloaded (2.0.2, 2.0.1, 2.0, 1.1.7 and then ofcoure I gave up) had this file in it.

Any passers by who've seen this before and squared it away?

forate-search does not generate URLs correctly. Using a simple example such as

rate-search:maxresults=20|spaces=Test

The macro returns a list of spaces and page names. The space name links are formatted correctly, but the page names are not:
space name: https://wiki.seagate.com/confluence/display/Test

page name: https://wiki.seagate.com/display/Test/New+Folder

Note that in the page name, the /confluence is missing.

Hi,

I have installed the rate macro on confluence 2.7.3. when i use it, theme and display properties are not working. i get the same rating display,

{rate:display=results}

above code still allows me to rate. ne idea?

We've installed this on our 2.10.2 and 2.9 versions and it doesn't accept any parameters. The only thing we can do is is the rate part.
Has this been updated at all recently?

Same here!!!

I have the same problem, but the reason is obvious. Add com.adaptavist.confluence.rate.modules.RateMacro to "Logging and Profiling" and set the debug level to all. You'll find error messages like this in your log file:

getRenderedTemplate Error occurred rendering template: vm/themes/dynamic/macro.vm
32792 org.apache.velocity.exception.ResourceNotFoundException: Unable to find resource 'vm/themes/dynamic/macro.vm'

and when you have a look at the package you'll notice that vm/themes/ has three subfolders: basic, digg, v2 but no dynamic or builter.

Hi,

I have put a warning at the head of the description block, so that no one ever has this bad surprise again...
This plugin was well developed with the first 2.x versions of Confluence (& rate plugin 1.1.4). It had to be recoded to go to Confluence 2.8+; but was discontinued... so don't expect more than the rate macro on a page; no search, no global results, no dynamic theme etc...

Vincent

This is a tough question: I am making an attempt to use Rate to assign weights to questions on a questionnaire. So Question 1, might be 3 starts (so I need to know how to get the value of this particular rate, keeping in mind there might be a few rates per page), once I have the value, stick it into meta-data calculate or put it in scaffold so I can divided it by a weight (say 0.30).

How do I extract the data? In the Confluence Plug-in admin panel, I see "Rate Data Extractor" and "Rate Macro Listener", but I don't see any docs on how to utilize them at all. I know for the Listeners, typically, I can call those in Reporting Plug-in, is that possible here?

(Confluence 2.10.1 , currently utilizing the 2.0.3 Rate plug-in I believe because it was slightly modified to keep the use of the 'key' param that was not apart of the new plugin.

{rate-table}

is not avail, but

{rate-search}

is, if this matters). Please help as I am looking for a good solution to this business problem. Thanks in advance and major Kudos to the person who knows this.

The documentation on this page seems to be out of date? The macro doesn't behave like it is described on this page (specifically parameters doesn't work). An indication on the development and plans for this macro would be nice. The functionality is sorely needed.
