This plugin beautifully replaces the stock Joomla ratings circles with stars - which is what you would EXPECT to see in a ratings system in the first place! In addition, the parameters you can set in this extension include making it so that an IP address can vote only once, or can vote once every 24 hours, or you can choose from several other intervals. The rating that appears includes not only stars, but shows the average of all of the votes thus far ("1.7 out of 5", for example). And yes, the AJAX is very cool looking, too. I rate this extension five STARS. And to the developer: thank you VERY much for an excellent contribution to the Joomla community - you are to be commended.

A great component. Ajax, Cool and Fast.
Special thanks to the developer.

I wanted a replacement for Joomla's rating system. This is exactly the kind of plugin that will get used on any site I enable ratings on.

Extremely well done.

excellent

would be nice to be able to add a break between the ratings and the main text on page, mine seems to be very close..

other than that excellent ...easy to use and install

Very impressed with this module, simple but perfect. It does in fact replace the ugly standard joomla bubbles and replaces it with the beautiful stars. It is ajax and updates in real time. Love the module thanks!

1 minute install, great documentation, no problems, no questions and it looks great.

Nice job

Works great! No Problems, and great documentation.

This does what it says it does. straight out of the box. Great!
Keep up the good work people!

I downloaded, installed, configured and got this plugin working in under 3 minutes!

It was easy to setup and configure - nothing to configure really except disable the default content rating system.

I was worried that it would not work because I was using !JoomlaComment, and someone else commented that the combination did not work for them. Well, it worked for me. No problems.

Nice work guys!!

Great work, guys! The ajax-based star ratings are a nice improvement to the little bubble things that the J! core uses...classy. ;)

wish there was more abilities to make adjustments

Hello there, i am currently trying to use the VOTItaly plugin and it has been installed and everything yet i am unsure of how to get it to display on my frontend. I am having the same problem with every vote/rating plugin i try to install to the page. Should it automatically be visible to the content? or is there something else that needs to be set in order for it to be seen on specific content?

Your help is much appreciated.

Great little plugin, but it lacks to show zero votes as stars. So on category, section or front pages some articles shows voting stars but no stars if there are no votes. I wish you can customize it like on plugin "extravote"

I had been scouring the web for a good star rating system. Even built myt own using JS+AJAX. But this one is smooth and good.

Keep up the good work, fellas!

I really like this plugin. Don't forget to disable the deafult joomla rating plugin called: Content - Rating, otherwise you will get the default rating + this rating plugin above your article!

If you would like to change the language, just edit the en-GB.plg_content_ji_votitaly.ini file in you admin/languages/en-gb folder!

One of the nicest looking rating (or starring) plugins.
I would use this on all my joomlasites .... if it worked on all of them ...

But sadly there seems to be an issue or conflict with Joomlacomment?
On pages where the Joomlacomponent is active, it does not seem to work.

No issues at all on my sites without Joomlacomment!

I hope it gets fixed, because I would like to use this one over all other rating/starring plugins

Follow 3 simple steps and it works straight out of the box. Well done VOTItaly team! This definitely gets my vote of a 10/10

Best ratings plugin, but it misses some very important features. Like - how many stars to display, different stars templates. I hope we will see these features in the next release.

Yes, its a very nice plugin. I miss the possibility to select how many stars do you want for your ratings: 5, 3, 10. any idea to improve in that way?

Hi Luca,
Just wanted to say things for responding to my email so quickly. I had a question about how to clear the votes for when my site goes live and Luca responded with the answer (which happens to be to clear the jos_content_rating table) The extensions is graphically pleasing and simple to use. Thanks for this!!
