GD Star Rating 1.9.7

GD Star Rating 1.9.7 is probably last minor maintenance release fixing few issues reported, adding Persian translation and changing the compression method used for main plugin JavaScript rating file to use YUI Compressor, making some templates changes and fixing some minor bugs and issues.

I always hated McAfee AntiVirus software. At one point I used it, and I can’t remember any other program that gave me so much problems, performance issues not to mention great many false virus reports. Well, today I have one more reason to hate it. Few days ago, with latest update to McAfee, main JavaScript file in GD Star Rating is marked as Trojan by McAfee. McAfee seams to have a lot of trouble detecting content of the packed and compressed JavaScript files compressed using great algorithm developed by Dean Edwards. So, GDSR main JS file is now compressed using YUI Compressor.

If you find anymore bugs, please report them via comments or in the forums.

  1. Wondering if there’s a way to change so stars are at very end of a post or page (especially if a photo is the last thing in a post or page). Right now they overlap an image. Thanks!

    • Problem is with your theme and floating elements in the post where image is usually aligned to left or right (float is used always). To fix that you need to change CSS styling for the rating block and adjust how it’s displayed. This is theme dependent, I can’t give you example on how to do it.
