I've made a custom module that displays information about an individual app, and I want to incorporate a rating system into it.  I found a rating system here: net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/building-a-5-star-rating-system-with-jquery-ajax-and-php/

 

I have it working in my module, but it's not the best.  Since my site already uses the K2 rating system, what I'd like to do is incorporate the K2 system instead.  Is there an easy way of doing this?  

Here's a better question:

 

I decided that, in the interest of simplification, my module is only going to access and display the rating information that k2's system collects.  Specifically: each product will be rated on its individual page, and on the page featuring all of the products my custom module will indicate what the ratings are for each product.  

Therefore, I need to:

1) find out where k2 is storing the rating data, and

2) access the data, preferably with php and not javascript, since I am experiencing many javascript conflicts.  

 

Can anyone help me with either of these?  If I can find out where it's being stored, I can probably take it from there.

It's one of the last things I have left to do, but of course it's the stuff I haven't figured out that's still left.

Ok, so I think I understand what I need to do, but I need just a little help doing it.

 

If I can get a reference to a k2 item (presumably via its id), call it "$item", then I should be able to do "$item->params->get('itemRating')" or "$item->votingPercentage" to get the value I need.  Is that right?

 

So, what's the proper way to make this reference?  That's the part I'm having trouble understanding right now.  Like, what files do I need to include?  (Hopefully people are still reading this thread...)

Hi William,

 

Maybe have a look at mod_k2content and see how it works and implement it into your custom module ?
