Hi,

Do you want a star rating dataype for use in the admin backend? Or just have a star rating functionality on the frontend? For the latter, you may find some interesting jquery implementations on the interweb.

Cheers,

/Dirk

Hi Bobby

Not saying this is the perfect solution but from i understand you are trying to do i came up with this solution , you will have to adjust to your needs but might give you a starting point ...i runnign in .net framework 4 and umbraco 4.7.1

First

I created VS project in which i created two usercontrols

 1. A simple dropdownlist control for rating 1-5

                 Ratingcontrol.ascx

                     <asp:DropDownList ID="dp_ratings" runat="server" >
                          <asp:ListItem Text="Please choose..." Value="0"></asp:ListItem>
                         <asp:ListItem Text="1" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
                          <asp:ListItem Text="2" Value="2"></asp:ListItem>
                         <asp:ListItem Text="3" Value="3"></asp:ListItem>
                        <asp:ListItem Text="4" Value="4"></asp:ListItem>
                        <asp:ListItem Text="5" Value="5"></asp:ListItem>
                     </asp:DropDownList>

                RatingControl.ascx.cs

                      using System;
                      using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
                      using umbraco.editorControls.userControlGrapper;

                      public partial class Ratings : System.Web.UI.UserControl, IUsercontrolDataEditor
                        {
       
                        public object value
                                {
                                    get { return dp_ratings.SelectedValue; }
                                    set { dp_ratings.SelectedValue = value.ToString(); }
                                 }

                         }

 2. A repeater control to list out Members and properties.

           MemberList.ascx

             Member List

           <asp:Repeater ID="rp_membersList" runat="server">
              <ItemTemplate>
                  <div class="border">
                           Member Name: <%# ((dynamic) Container.DataItem).LoginName %>
                           <br />                      
                         Rating:
                         <div class='rating-<%# ((dynamic) Container.DataItem).getProperty("rateMember").Value %>'>
                                      <%# ((dynamic)Container.DataItem).getProperty("rateMember").Value%>
                         </div>
                        Rating 2:
                         <div class='rating-<%# ((dynamic) Container.DataItem).getProperty("nextRating").Value %>'>
                                <%# ((dynamic)Container.DataItem).getProperty("nextRating").Value%>
                         </div>
                   </div>
           </ItemTemplate>
          <HeaderTemplate><ul></HeaderTemplate>
         <FooterTemplate></ul></FooterTemplate>
      </asp:Repeater>

       public partial class MembersList : System.Web.UI.UserControl
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var memberGroup = MemberGroup.GetByName("Rate Member");
          
            rp_membersList.DataSource = memberGroup.GetMembers();
            rp_membersList.DataBind();
          
        }
    }

Built and transfer relevant files.

Second

Created new DataType "Umbraco Usercontrol wrapper " selecting rating dropdownlist user control.

Created new Macro from Member listing usercontrol

Third

Created new Member Type  and added new rating control control times to in my case generic tab.

Fourth

Created new members selecting new Member type and so allowing in to set variuos rating.

Lastly

Created new content form with Member list macro embedded to list out members and ratings.

Giving the following output

Hi Anothny,
